Lesson Learned: Take Away My FB :D

Tweet

So, there I was, mindlessly scrolling through Facebook when my curiosity got the best of me. A co-worker had just pointed out that my husband’s ex-girlfriend’s new friend was someone from the Philippines, and apparently, they were now dating. My first thought was, Who is this person? So, naturally, I went to check out her profile, trying to connect the dots. But here’s where it gets messy. As I’m casually looking through her posts and photos—totally innocent, right?—I somehow accidentally clicked Add Friend. My heart immediately stopped. It was like time slowed down. I sat there staring at the screen, debating what to do. Should I quickly cancel the request and hope she didn’t notice? Should I leave it, pretending it was totally intentional? Just as I’m in full panic mode, trying to decide, I got the notification: she accepted. I stared at the screen in horror, realizing that my slip-up just turned into an actual friendship on Facebook. Now, I’m in this awkward situation where I don’t even know why I was checking out her profile in the first place. And here I am, “friends” with someone who, as far as I know, has no clue who I am. To make things worse, the whole situation was triggered by the fact that my husband’s ex is now friends with someone who's dating someone that I know, and I guess I’m supposed to know about it? It’s a total mess, and I’m just sitting here thinking, What have I done? Lesson learned: never let curiosity—or a clumsy finger—lead you into an awkward situation. Especially when it involves exes and new relationships. Wish me luck, I might just delete my Facebook account until she forgets about me haha! I'm such an !d!0+.
