My cousin split up with his first wife around 2007 and their marriage was annulled in 2012. I have a close relationship with my cousin and I treat him like a brother (we grew up together) I really like his ex-wife and I felt very unhappy when they split up. I've lost contact with her since their split. Recently I saw her on Facebook and she's friends with my other cousin (brother of my cousin). I normally don't add people on Facebook but I want to make an exception for her because I really really miss her. However, in 2013 my cousin got remarried. I am having second thoughts about adding my cousin's ex because I don't want to offend my cousin or his wife (I am not friends with his wife on FB).
I wouldn't add her. I find that as soon as I add old friends I didn't talk to for many years, the conversation never goes past "OMG! It's been so long! I miss you!"

I think you know it may hurt your cousin's wife, which is why you asked people on CD for advice. Your first instinct was correct. It would hurt her. Don't rationalize it with another member friending her. You haven't seen her in 7-8 years.

If you are friends in real life then add her and be done with it. It is your choice to be friends with who you want to be friends with and if your cousin's new wife cannot accept the fact that you have remained friends with the ex wife that is the current wife's issue and not yours.

How are they friends in real life? The OP stated they lost contact in 2007 after the split.
OP, let it go. Do you even have any intentions of seeing your cousin's ex-wife in person? If not, then definitely let it go.
