One of the major upsets in our R after the bomb was when my WAW removed me as a Friend and set her marital status to blank. Ouch!

She lost her ring a year or two ago so this was the only real public display of marital status.

Sign of the times. You know you're out when your wife unfriends you on Facebook.

We had an outing together and I uploaded some fun fotos of DD5 and STBXW. I also 'tagged' them with her name, which is a very common practice. Two days later she asked me to remove the tag. What happens is that once tagged, even though it's my foto, the picture of STBXW and DD5 then also gets associated with her profile. A message also goes out to her friends saying 'STBXW was tagged in this foto' and they see a clickable thumbnail of the foto. So this was not intentional on my part, but apparantly it was a problem ;-) So bringing in DD5 into her new circle of friends was an issue... I had to laugh.
It seems so harmless. I am amazed that she would have a problem with that. Actually, I guess I should never be amazed any more.


It's not harmless if there is a guy you are seeing (or wanting to date) and he wonders why you are having happy little get togethers with your STBXH.

I found out through a mutual friend last year that W had joined Facebook but I did not ask the friend what she was doing on there. W has a notebook computer (password protected) and a couple of private e-mail accounts that I know about but never snooped on.

The friend (and a few other friends) suggested I get on there as well - which I did a couple of months ago. The first thing I did was to block W so that I would not see anything she posted to mutual friends. I am not on that much anyway but W has never asked me about - which is OK.

Makes sense, but only adds confusion as to why my ex, who is living with the OM she cheated with, would not only seek out me as a friend, but our mutual friends whom she has not spoken with in two years. They are very confused as well. I'm not worrying about it, and just refer to it as another indication that she continues to be in a place I never thought she would be.

Enjoy this very well done, 60's style video about the "rules" of facebook relationships.
