Aside from running into each other, is there more to their interactions? Did they make arrangements to hang out? Became FB friends? Start calling or texting each other? Anything else?

I would be p*ssed too but to give her the benefit of the doubt, if they only ran into each other and that's it, she may be keeping it from you to help you move on by not talking about him anymore with you. Like an out of sight out of mind kind of thing (which works).

For sure you should ask her why she didn't tell you though if you're worried.

Could your BF be creating all this to make you jealous and win you back ?

It's been known to happen.

He told me that she requested him on Instagram and FB after they hung out Christmas Eve at a mutual friend's party. I actually noticed all of this when I saw that she was liking his pictures on Instagram. I'm over him and dating other people so she could've told me.

Sounds like a case of the frenemies. It also sounds like you aren't quite over the ex.

I would end my friendship with someone who did that. Loyalty is very important to me.

She also never formally met him because she lived out of state when we dated, however she was there when we met about 4 years ago.

The ex and I are friendly now (and I believe that he still has feelings for me) and yesterday we met up for lunch and caught up w/ everything. He confirmed my suspicions and gave me all the details (how they ran into each other several times, last time was Christmas Eve, have had conversations and how they are cool, etc)

Am I crazy for being mad? Also my burning question is why didn't she tell me?
He's your "ex", right?
It's over between you, right?
Is she required to inform you of any other man she may meet?
You broke up with him, it put him back into the "pool" along with all the other men.

Are you having strings still attached to him, beyond that of friendship?

If he's you "ex' it's time for you to let go and move on.

He is your EX. It's none of your business. And whatever they do, it's not behind your back, because you and he aren't dating.

Had a buddy that got PO'd at me 'cuz I was still friends with his ex-wife.

Haven't heard from him in a year, and I'm still pals with her.

Worked out just fine.

You're over him, but yet created this thread. Echoing posts 16 & 17 your friend doesn't owe you squat, especially who she is trying to befriend.
I get the sense by your being upset of not being informed is more about your friend not getting your "permission."

We're cordial and at the moment I'm not interested in him. I'm just questioning her motives, especially since she didn't feel comfortable enough to tell me. It's less about him and more about our friendship.
