Manipulation

[Black$heep]

Last summer, my boyfriend of many years broke up with me. He didn't have a facebook at the time (he said it was isolating him from his friends more than it was helping him get closer to his friends). Yesterday, one of my friends told me he'd friended her about a month ago. He didn't show up when I searched for him, so he must have blocked me.

I think I know the answer to this one, but I figure I'll ask it anyway: Why would my ex block me on facebook, but decide it's a good idea to friend all my friends? None of them were ever that close to him. In fact, many of my friends confessed to me that they avoided him because he made them feel uncomfortable.

Has anyone told you you think too much and imagine things?

Are women not supposed to think V? That's the sort of comment that men make who are trying to make a woman question her own instincts. Is she imagining that he didn't show up when she did a FB name search? Did she imagine him friending her friends?

By contrast, I must ask the following question of the OP as well....if your ex made your friends uncomfortable......why did they accept the friend request?

Either way, the short answer is simple. He thinks he's being slick and trying to get some from your gf's while bypassing you. Stick with your instincts.

It is strange that they would accept a friend request from him if they didn't like him. I would be very suspicious about that.

I would believe her friend is messing up, rather than her ex doing these sort of things on Facebook.
Sound to me, like a thing 10 years old would do. How old are you OP? And your ex? Somehow i highly doubt anyone would pull off this sort of thing for reasons unknown. Or is some kind of trick kids do nowadays to make each other jealous? Guess I'll never know...

Sorry if i insulted anyone with my first post. But it seems like a big fat lie from someone (yes, I'm implying your friend is lying about your Ex and he doesn't even have a Facebook)

The guy sounds like an immature douche, as for your friend....Well, just be careful where they're concerned. It could be that your ex wants to see what you're up to without you knowing, or maybe they liked your friend. Either way, don't let it show it bothers you, on the off chance something is going on act like you couldn't care less it'll annoy them even more.

Either that or they'll think you'll get the wrong idea if they added you. Some ex's are just weird like that.
