If your cool with some of your exes, then keep them. If not, delete them. I kept ex #1 and ex #3, they're okay with me. The recent ex, I needed out of my life as much as possible, even virtually.

I never maintain friendships with ANY ex... but I think the OP is a bit too weak if he can't deal with ex friends... I mean why would anyone want to pretend that their SO never dated anyone else before them? What if they just went to dinner once and nothing really developed? That is kind of ridiculous! Plus FB is a congregation of turds, nobody takes it seriously. Jealousy is a huge turnoff.

If you want to delete her, why not delete her now? Why wait until the next pruning?

I have no issues with it.

What's in the past, is in the past. If there weren't any good feelings involved, we would have never BEEN involved, but they're exes for a reason.

If we really wanted to be with them, or they were the "right" one, then we'd still be with them, and not with you. Obviously, they weren't right for us, but it doesn't make them a bad person.

I have one on Facebook--I rarely comment on her stuff, she rarely comments on mine. We don't send mail either...her boyfriend might get jealous.

Jealousy is born out of fear. The fear that you're not "good enough". For the jealous person--he or she picked YOU above anyone else. Remember that.

I'm not facebook friends with my ex. I used to be, but she was one of the people I deleted after high school.

Ladies (and maybe guys I don't know) we do not want to see your ex or piles of your ex's all there laid out for us to see on your facebook friends list. There is no " Oh he's just an old boyfriend from high school". There is no " Well, we dated a little but you know nothing happened and were just friends". Please, save it for a fairy tale cause that's all a bunch of bs.
We don't want to Know, we don't want to see their flipping faces, we don't want to have to tolerate them saying hello on stupid facebook and you know damn well they are sending private message " Hellos" too so quit the whole parade. News flash, unless we married you right out of high school in a white dress we would just assume pretend we did and never be reminded there was anyone else before us. That's how it works. So if you love your guy get your damn ex boyfriends, flings, ex husbands and little secrets you won't own up to off your stupid precious facebook friends list.
Fellas, don't bother thanking me. Someone had to lay it down.
I wonder who this group of "fellas" is you're speaking for? They sound a bit touchy.

Insecure much?

I have five (I think) exes as FB friends. Only one of those was serious, back in 1998. He's married now I think you need to grow the heck up.

"...We don't want to have to tolerate them saying hello on stupid facebook."

If Facebook is so "stupid" to you, why are you starting a thread about it here? Why are you obsessing about something so ludicrously trivial as having exes on a Facebook page? Why are you monitoring your partner's Facebook page if it's so stupid?
