So yeah, I know the facebook problems have been played to death but....
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.

Block your ex and quite worrying about it. If it is that big a deal.

Otherwise they are welcome to be friends with who ever they please. Don't like it delete em. Life is too short to worry about crap like that.

It's exes, not ex's. Something I had to lay down.

Also, some of us are actually friends with our exes. Often it was so long ago that all the feelings have gone and we remain friends because of the shared friends and experiences from that time in our life (high school, etc). Sometimes we acknowledge they are cool people but not 'the one' for us.

Btw, how the heck do you even know which people on there are their exes and who's a friend/coworker?

mate it's just ****ing facebook, it's not a big deal. Whether they're facebook friends with their exes or not doesn't erase the history they had so why split hairs over it? the past is the past, all you can do is live with it.

perhaps some of these mouth breathers should take and pass some sort of test before activating a facebook account.

meh...all guys I date, can rest assured know that all the guys on my friends list are platonic. One guy I went on a couple double dates with him and a friend of mine and his friend back in high school and he's a good platonic friend now and he's engaged anyways. I don't believe in keeping ex's, flings or any other type of guys on there .

That, is freaking funny.
Exes ex's duh. I actually do not have a Facebook account. I did but it just laid there pointlessly so...
Truth, my recently ex girlfriend did have exes on there and that contributed to, but not caused the problems. No man alive wants his woman to remain friends or keeping contact with ex things. It's just a murky thing and I think I'm speaking for most men. Yes it is absolutely just Facebook. Add an ex boy friend or two, three. Now it's an ugly and constant reminder of things we don't enjoy thinking about. What possible reason would anyone have to keep an ex handy like that. I don't get it I'm sorry and honestly I'm a lot surprised at some of the feed back. I don see it as so differently than having an exes contact still in the cell phone. You wouldn't say " It's just a cell phone". No difference at all.

Huh...there can always be some kind of reminder.

Everyone comes with a past. Deal with it.

my ex's number is only in my phone so I can know not to answer him in some off chance event he were to contact me. If I don't hear from him in a couple years, I'll know its safe to delete him.
