Just got off the phone over half an hour with my friend ranting on about a man she is "talking to" (she's in Ripon, he's in Botswana!) putting hearts on posts by his female Facebook friends. Lots of rubbish about how it upsets her and winds her up and she's told him about it over and over but he still does it. He even put two big red hearts on someone's post, shocker!!
I told her that it's too much drama, and if my male friends did that (which they don't, they're grown ups, but more to the point they are also people I know in real life) I couldn't see the problem. "But we have very strong feelings for each other" she tells me. "And I can't stand him flirting". They've never even met. It's nuts. She posts passive aggressive messages on Facebook about him being childish and rude in the hope he will see it.
And waiting in the wings is the catalogue model from Las Vegas (or maybe Florida) who's wanting to come over and marry her. They were meant to be facetiming last night but he had had such a hard day and last time the connection suddenly went haywire and interrupted their chat ...
The whole thing is bonkers. Told her to enforce boundaries. If you don't like what he does, then stop talking to him.
But hearts on facebook posts, is that really such a big thing to get fussed over?
