What is appropriate for a married person on Facebook?

[Completly in love...]

Should either party have ex-boyfriends/girlfriends or people they just had sex with on their facebook page? Should it just be friends, family and aquaintances? Why on either answer. Thanks

We only have friends and family on ours. I would be uncomfortable with him having ex-lovers on his, and I'm sure he feels the same.

I'm sure plenty of marriages ended because of facebook hook-ups!

Married people have no business with ex anything in their lives period. Unless it is the other parent of their child and then only involving their child.

Do you really need to know why? People need boundaries to live by so they can bring happiness to themselves and others. Think of your life as a circle and your family as inside that circle. Who belongs there?

I have several ex boyfriends as friends. I am not romanticallly interested in them anymore but still talk to them from time to time. Most of them are either married or in relationships and it's nice to see what they are up to. My man has his ex girlfriends as friends as well

If there's trust between a couple, who cares who they have as Facebook friends. Lots of people just add hundreds of friends anyway and never have anything to do with them except for just being on their friends list

That's between the two of you to decide. Whatever keeps you both feeling comfortable is what you should do.

depends on the person and how they feel about it, should talk about it and be honest, even though I didnt really know any girls on myspace page, my wife now ex said I paid more attention to them then I did her, so be careful and just be honest with each other, cause it could cause more damage and you didnt even know it until its to late.

Why would a married person want to be in contact with an ex lover? It doesn't make any sense. The feelings that were there at one time were real and a married person has no right to continue to have contact with that person. Actually a rule to go by is that "do both people in a marriage feel a mutual friendship with a person?" If the friend is a friend of both then it's in agreement and ok, or is the ex a threat to the other spouse, real or imagined. I think the marriage needs to be respected above all other friendships and each person has to be comfortable with the friendship. My answer:::::if it's both of your friends and there is nothing to hide then the friendship is ok. If it causes uncomfort or guilt feelings then forget about it.
