    I agree with most others; it's just FB, and just because they're an ex of mine doesn't mean my family has to cut ties if they have a good relationship. And, as one PP pointed out, privacy settings exist for situations like abuse, stalking, etc. - although I would hope my family wouldn't be inclined to a friendship with someone who seemed capable of harming me in the first place.

    ETA: Also, I feel like my relationship status with someone else (engaged, married, etc.) wouldn't make a difference in my answer. It just means I'm with someone else. And I can't imagine why my BF would be upset if my family was FB friends with an ex - it's not a reflection on our relationship at all.
  • Okay so first of all, my FH asked his mom, sisters, sister in law and brother to delete EX2 and EX3 because they had added the girls when FH and them were dating... His family NEVER met these two girls.  Just added them, to stalk their brother/son.  EX 1 is a former fiance of my FH.  She abused him, and almost drove him into the ground.  Used him for his money and completely distroyed his career.  The family wasnt supportive of that engagement, and continues to talk bad about her constantly.  They keep her on facebook just to laugh at what her life has brought her.  See why this is disrespectful to my FH?  He asked them to remove these girls, not me.  I dont like it, but he asked for them to do this.

    Doesn't really change anything. 

    If your FI has a problem with it, block the women on facebook and they can't see anything.

    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

This addition doesn't change anything. Your FI doesn't get to control his family. Even if they are being dumb.
  • So what, if they don't delete the exes, you're going to have an issue with your FI's family?  That sounds very childish to me.  They are adults.  They make their own decisions.  If it's affecting you that much, you may need to take a step back and understand what you can and can't control.  Is your FI sleeping with these girls?  Is he having an emotional affair with them?  No?  Good.  Then they really don't have any standing on your relationship.  At all.  So who cares who they are friends with on FB?

    No, because sometimes exes have the most primo drama. I LOVE looking at my fiance's ex-girlfriend's Facebook because it is totally hilarious. We just sit there together laughing because we're horrible people AND it's awesome.
