    Me and FI have been together for a little over two years, have been engaged for a year, and our wedding is in Sept. His ex and him broke up about a year before we met, she got married 4 months after they broke up and moved out of state. About a month ago she sent him a Facebook message (gotta live Facebook!) saying she heard he was engaged and Congrats. After that she added his best friend as a friend and comments on everything he has to say. FI said she hated his friend when they were together, and he finds it all very strange. Well I happened to see she has a blog and read some posts... It's sounds like she's miserable with her life. Too bad for her. Do you think this is all strange for her to do this or am I just strange? It bugs me, because frankly I would never find myself doing those things.... I guess I'm more ranting than needing advice!

    you both should probably just ignore her. who cares what her life is like? she's winning if you're stressing out about it ;)

    I think it's strange that she is suddenly trying to be all buddy buddy with some guy she used to dislike, but I don't think it's anything to stress about. If she's not happy with her life, then that shouldn't have to impact anything in your life. If she's unhappy in her marriage, she might be feeling jealous that her ex is suddenly really happy, but the best thing to do is just ignore her and she will eventually go away. That way you can just focus on how happy you are with your FI :)

    Do you want us to tell you that maybe her ex wants/has some desire/maybe an inkling for your FI? Well, maybe she does... or maybe she's just bored and needs an outlet. Facebook is good for that too.

    Regardless of her intentions, it takes two to tango - and your FI only tangos with you now. I'd ignore her. It's not worth a second thought.

    I'll be honest, she wants to know all the details about your wedding.  She can do whatever she wants but as long as FI doesn't egg her on by responding, which it sounds like he isn't, there really isn't much she can do.

    i think its kinda not unusual when someone is engaged to suddenly hear from a ex because its human nature to want to know who you were replaced by - the online world has made this type of stalking very easy

    as long as she isnt interfering in your and your FI's lives then no harm done... for now

    @funkyone8604: She doesn't sound like she's causing trouble for you so I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe she was interested in the best-friend but used hatred to cover it? After all, the opposite of love isn't hate...it's indifference.

    @strawberryavalanche: Or maybe she actually did used to hate this other guy, and is now feeling really guilty about it and trying to make things better. But either way, OP, I feel like this has nothing to do with you if she isn't trying to contact you or FI. She's talking to some other dude. Not quite sure what the concern is.

    I agree with the others, that if it's not hurting you or your FI, not to worry about her. Whether she's feeling remorse or is interesting in this friend she hated, or wants to spy on your wedding, whatever. Just let her be and do her thing!!

    It definitely isn't interfering with anything, I guess I am just interested in why she would all of sudden find interest in his life now.  If she wants to know everything about his life, too bad for her because that is the last thing he wants to do.  I think he is more irritated by it than I am.  I actually find it kind of comical, because I know deep down inside she is jealous and is being a snoop.  I have too many wedding things to worry about than to stress out about her, like I said to me it is strange and I would never find myself in her shoes.

    i dont think either of you are strange. I think it is like you say, she is miserable with her current situation so perhaps adding his friend is a way for her to be nebby on him/you? I wouldnt be too worried about it at this time unless she starts bothering him a lot. Then it would be blocking time.

    You are lucky your FI isn't responding in any way, shape, or form. Smile
