I'm a little weirded out. We've always been cordial. Of course she's heard all kinds of crapola about me (some of it true). She's a born and bred Republican, I'm not. We would not be friends if we happened to be neighbors. but we'd be neighborly. She's actually pretty boring. She's tried to be kind to my kids and they haven't made it easy for her, which is embarrassing to me. I wish they had better manners. Overall, I think she's been good for my ex...she seems agree with me on a lot of things, leading him to consider that my ideas were not so dumb after all. There's no drama amongst us...we were divorced long before they met.
So what do I do with this FB request? My posts are not particularly personal. Mostly stuff about the kids.
This week they have learned that their beloved dog has a brain tumor. I feel terrible for them so I offered the only thing I could which was nothing special. I suggested to my ex that he bring the dog to my town for some beach time and I would get them to an island where the dog could go off leash. He said she might not be up to it. Would that have prompted her to send a friend request?
Why not? You can always unfollow her if you get tired of it. My husband’s ex wife and I kept up that way when she got too ill to care for her dog. We adopted him.
If you are not comfortable do not add her. I have been added people I didn't like or wasn't interested before and I was worried about them judging my posts.
You can be a acquaintance like you are and that is fine.

Eh, she may find it a more comfortable way to communicate with you about family stuff, not so much that she wants to be your friend.
My ex husband's wife and I used FB to keep each other up with things like school events, holiday or vacation plans, just general info to kind of plan out when, where or what the kids might be doing that the other family might benefit from knowing. I don't know, we sort of tried to mesh the goings on of both households a little bit I guess.
Like ellie posted, you can do it and change your mind later if it's uncomfortable or not working out.
I agree. If you don't accept it, their will be a weirdness there.
No there wouldn't be. OP, you are not obligated to do anything.
She probably thinks he is cheating on her with you for some reason.
Forget about her and him, and move on with your life.
