I just had an old boyfriend find me on facebook and try to add me as a friend. I was absolutely HORRIFIED.
This guy was like a couch that I had to drag around from one place to another. He was a lazy, good for nothing who depended on everyone else to do things for him. And when I broke up with him, he had the NERVE to pull out the DSMV and tell me that I had a personality disorder and that's why I broke up with him. He was even reading to me out of the manual. What an idiot. Completely incapable of seeing his part in anything.
After I dumped him like a piece of old furniture, like a child, he completely disappeared from my life and I never knew where he went and never heard from him again for decades, until now when he tries to befriend me on facebook. I almost threw up when I saw his name. Of course, I hit the "ignore" button.
Has this happened to anyone else? Ghosts from the past coming back to haunt you on FaceBook?

Hi W,
Wow. the DSMV. That is quite recent. Its only been out a few years.
That is why I stopped writing my autobiography. Its all right there.
Which personality disorder did did he say you had?
Mine was being overly dramatic. He said that he read about me in the DSMV II and started weeping because it was such a horrible, sad disease for me to have. And the way he figured it, clearly my personality disorder was why I dumped him, not his obesity, laziness, fiscal responsibility, propensity toward drink, or complete inability to take care of himself.
Truth: I dumped him because he had bad breath and I was completely disgusted and turned off by him. I couldn't even believe I'd ever hooked up with him to begin with. Still can't believe it to this day, thus my horror in seeing his friend invite on FaceBook.

Let me guess BPD? Nothing against you, but it's amazing how so many women have some of those traits!
I've had old good for nothing "friends" find me on facebook that I quickly hit "ignore" ........ as far as old boyfriends..... I've run into the ONE that made my life a living hell from age 17-19..... ran into him at a local bar. Almost puked when I saw him (He was emotionally and physically abusive, I have two scars on my left fore and middle fingers from him kicking a door shut on my hand)........
He proceeded to try and APOLOGIZE and make conversation. I was very short with him and then right as I was trying to walk away to be with my friends he tried to ask for MY NUMBER!!!! I laughed HYSTERICALLY in his face and RANNNNNN away!
(PS: He then went and told his girlfriend (which is the girl he'd been cheating on me with) that I was all over him and that I wanted him....... SHE is now is ex also....... but she's not only his ex because of that, but because he cheated on HER with a married woman and got the married woman knocked up!!!!!!!)
CAN YOU SAY PSYCHOPATH??? Like I said a minute ago, I nearly PUKED when I saw his disgusting face!
Facebook is a double edged sword. I've had 2 guys from my past contact me that I wanted to keep in the past, but truth be told I'm sort of hoping another one finds me someday
I wouldn't mind people I liked contacting me, but the people I don't like can f-off. I've talked to people I haven't seen in 20 years! That was amazing! More often than not only people I get along with have contacted me, knock wood! Ironically, the only FB request I nearly denied was my mother's. Why would my mother want to keep up with me on FB--my space for conversing with friends??? I find it intrusive and have her set to seeing nearly nothing. Weird.
An ex of mine from over 4 years ago found me on FB, and I was okay with being back in contact with him until he started trying to win me back...I had changed my status to "single" (like an idiot!) when I broke up with my last BF, and as soon as he saw that, he took it as a green light...no dice! We had so little in common, I often wondered why I had ever dated him in the first place, so needless to say I was shocked when he went so far as to say he would be willing to move across the country to be with me, (he lives in Philly and I'm in TX now)...then he proceeded to try to make me feel guilty when I told him I didn't even want him to visit. He told me he'd become addicted to porn after I left him, that he spent hours on end every day whacking it and chain-smoking...real attractive, huh? That's probably the worst thing to tell someone you're trying to hook up with, let alone win back! Yuck!
