One thing I've noticed about Facebook is that tons of people who you haven't spoken to in 15 years and who didn't even like you all of a sudden start crawling out of the woodworks and want to be your "friend." I guess it's part of the ego boost that supposedly comes with having lots of Facebook "friends" or something. While Facebook can no doubt help keep tabs on actual, valuable friends, I have found most of the banter on Facebook to be rather superficial. So, I don't know that you have much to worry about here.

So, a few days ago, my husband set up a Facebook profile. Within a day, he had befriended his ex-fiance and they've been IM'ing and sending emails back and forth.
He told me that he wouldn't talk to her if I didn't want him to, but I don't want to be that kind of person (telling him what he can and can't do). But, at the same time, I'm pretty annoyed by the whole situation. Supposedly things ended on a bad note for them, so I don't really understand why he'd want to reconnect with her now.
Just curious what others' take on this situation might be.
Oh no no no. Not acceptable. Your posting here has already answered your own question, hasn't it?
Pipe down, lady. I'm allowed to share my own observations, thoughts and conclusions just as you're allowed to share yours -- or rather, someone else's.
I'm telling you, my wife would Bobbitize me in a heart beat if I did something as blatantly stupid as that (which I never would because my wife is a SAINT and I love her).. But booooy if I did, *snip!!*, off comes Mr. Happy.

GEEZ, don't go overreacting - I was just asking if you had read the article, lol.
The op's husband was ENGAGED to the woman he is now conversing with - that can be dangerous territory. From the article:
"...some research suggests that raging teenage hormones are stored as sensory and emotional memories. Early loves may be imprinted on the brain the way cocaine addiction is. When you see that person again or chat online, the reconnection can trigger visceral feelings"

He's a guy, what do you think he's trying to do?
He's trying to bang her one more time.
I've done that before with my exes and I'm not married
