FaceBook Friends with Ex-BFs/GFs?

[Dufus]

I believe it to be TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATE! If your relationship is serious and there is talk of marriage, then close friendships of the opposite sex are not a good idea, ESPECIALLY with a previous lover. "Platonic friendships" are a slippery slope. Sure, just friends always starts out innocent, but then at a certain point you're too close, sharing secrets and intimate details of your marriage. An emotional affair develops and you don't even realize it. You begin comparing your spouse to your "friend", and start focusing on your spouse's negatives. This is exactly how a spouse comes home one day and says, "I swear I never meant to hurt you, it just happened." I'm not saying that men/women cannot control themselves or be trusted. I'm simply saying a married person should always safeguard their heart and never put themselves in a situation where something just might happen.
