How would you feel if you found out a friend of yours defriended your bf on facebook?

Asked by suzie271 (284points) December 13th, 2010

Ok i know facebook means different things to different people, but i just find it rude that she did that.

Because whether i like her bf or not, I would never defriend him if he was on my facebook by virtue of the fact that he is her boyfriend.

But she defriended my boyfriend.

What is up with that..??

What do you think?

I don’t plan on asking her anything about it.. I think it just hints to me that she might be a b####

Does your boyfriend post a lot? Perhaps she was just tired of all of his news when she isn’t close to him.

I don’t think it means anything.

I don’t think you should feel obligated to keep someone’s boyfriend or girlfriend as a Facebook friend just because you are friends with them.

I’d be so mad I’d hop into the computer, fly through the internet, pop out of her screen and tear her eyes out!

Really. I would! ;-)

I don’t know if I could stand the agony. I would probably swallow a handful of pills and then call the crisis line.

Ask her why she did it. Maybe he was hitting on her.

I wouldn’t give a shit. Stupid Facebook drama. I find it so deplorable that a good portion of human contact, friendship and empathy has anchored itself to such shallow waters through AssBook.

Be glad they aren’t sleeping together… Hey, if they aren’t friends on Facebook, they aren’t doing it, right?

Does he have creepy friends? Maybe she decided she didn’t want them knowing what she was doing.
Or maybe she doesn’t care where he goes or who he hangs with or whatever.
FB is growing to be more of a hassle than it’s worth.

I personally wouldn’t care. I don’t feel like any of my friends should have to add my husband as their friend just because he is my husband. I also don’t feel like I should have to add any of my friend’s significant others just because they are in a relationship with that person. Perhaps your friend got tired of seeing the things your boyfriend posts or maybe she just doesn’t want him seeing her personal information. There are lots of reasons she may have done it and the only way you’ll know is if you ask her.

Personally, I think you are overreacting and expecting to much if you think she has to have him as her friend and not doing so makes her a bitch.

Geek Social Fallacy #4: Friendship Is Transitive
Every carrier of GSF4 has, at some point, said:
“Wouldn’t it be great to get all my groups of friends into one place for one big happy party?!”
If you groaned at that last paragraph, you may be a recovering GSF4 carrier.
GSF4 is the belief that any two of your friends ought to be friends with each other, and if they’re not, something is Very Wrong.
The milder form of GSF4 merely prevents the carrier from perceiving evidence to contradict it; a carrier will refuse to comprehend that two of their friends (or two groups of friends) don’t much care for each other, and will continue to try to bring them together at social events. They may even maintain that a full-scale vendetta is just a misunderstanding between friends that could easily be resolved if the principals would just sit down to talk it out.
A more serious form of GSF4 becomes another “friendship test” fallacy: if you have a friend A, and a friend B, but A & B are not friends, then one of them must not really be your friend at all. It is surprisingly common for a carrier, when faced with two friends who don’t get along, to simply drop one of them.
On the other side of the equation, a carrier who doesn’t like a friend of a friend will often get very passive-aggressive and covertly hostile to the friend of a friend, while vigorously maintaining that we’re one big happy family and everyone is friends.
GSF4 can also lead carriers to make inappropriate requests of people they barely know—asking a friend’s roommate’s ex if they can crash on their couch, asking a college acquaintance from eight years ago for a letter of recommendation at their workplace, and so on. If something is appropriate to ask of a friend, it’s appropriate to ask of a friend of a friend.
Arguably, Friendster was designed by a GSF4 carrier.

Rid yourself of GSF4.

She’s not a bitch. For some reason, she doesn’t like what you BF posts, or perhaps he’s hitting on her behind your back.
