Worst Thing You Found Out about on Facebook

Thankfully there's no drama on my FB page. If people are posting hateful stuff, I just unfriend them. I don't have time or patience for all that stuff.

I found out my eldest son impregnated that woman he married and that she lost the baby. Several months later, I found out he (we're going on the assumption it was him, at this point) did it again. She is due in July sometime. He still hasn't told me. *shrug*

Best part? This is the FIRST grandchild out of three sons. Not sure this was how I envisioned it...but then I also envisioned him marrying an actual HUMAN BEING. :huh:

Maybe ^ this is why you found out through FB rather than him calling you or coming over to tell you in person. It's clear that you are not in support of the relationship and he probably didn't want to upset you.

Thought the same thing. "That woman he married"... don't you mean "daughter-in-law"? Delightful.

I found my mom saying things about me other peoples pages. About how horrible I am as a daughter and mother. She even went on a public page, viewed by over 500k people, and said something negative about me under a comment I had made. I learned about that when I started getting messages from strangers saying, OMG...is that your mom? I feel for you, my mom is a ***** too. :frown:

OMG that is awful!

My cousin Tommy and his wife Shirley perished in a house fire around 3 years ago. Their dog had apparently woken them up around 4am to get them out, but they were all overcome by smoke before they could escape. Tommy was 41 years old.

it wasn't a facebook thing but, my cousin calls me and tells me his boy is friends with my 16 yr old stepson on instagram and had told him about a pic stepson posted. It was a pic of a bud light can and a bonfire with the comment "having a blast at my friends this weekend" so, when stepson came home that weekend, I snatched his phone, got on his instagram and pulled up the pic. Turns out it was a pic I took 3 years ago and he told me he sent it from my phone to his one night when I went to sleep. I called my cousin back and told him "sorry bout that, he said it was his fiends beer and he didn't drink it but, I will keep my eye on him!" lol

My grandma posted on facebook that my grandfather died.

Oh....and that it apparently ISN'T ok to ask the guy who you are you listed "in a relationship" on his page to take down photos of himself on dates with other women.

Did you post the question on the photos or on his page or ask him in person? Either way I think that would be a red flag if someone asked me to take down pics of my history (unless you're in them; then you get to ask me to take them down) but if you asked on FB, then yeah, especially uncool. :laugh:


ETA: Wait, these are old pics, right? Or he's going on dates while you're supposed to be together and posting pics??

I thought it was the second... If it's the first I agree with you. Guess we'll find out!

He added me as "in a relationship" and then kept up photos of a one-time date with another girl. These were date photos which included bikini shots of her, candlelight dinner with his arm around her, and a photo caption saying "why is she smiling? Is it the wine or the good company?" I asked him to take them down after we'd been dating 9 months and I was sure she was out of the picture. I didn't ask him to take down photos with his ex-girlfriends or of girls he hung out with or travelled with before me because, I agree that asking someone to take down their history isn't fair. But leaving up bikini shots of a one time date? My asking him to take them down resulted in a huge fight and him blocking me from his facebook page since my request was so unreasonable.

Keeping the pimp hand strong.

I was thinking the same thing, but then I thought, "We don't know the back story."

She certainly doesn't sound like a pleasant MIL, but then I've seen new wives treat really wonderful in-laws like dirt and not allow their husbands any contact and the husbands go along with it. My fiance's ex-wife is like that. I've been with him nine years, so I know it is not the in-laws who are the problem.

My oldest son't ex-wife and current wife are like that. ^^^^

The worst thing I ever found out on FB was that my extended family wanted to "reconnect" with me.

Facebook! Seriously, why does anyone even need it? It's nothing but a site for attention and all it does is break up marriages and relationships. So many people are addicted! What a shame you all can't live without it. Do yourselves a favor and delete your profiles.

I am no longer on that site. To much drama

Eh. I'm on his side.

If something that occurs on FB breaks up a relationship, it wasn't a very strong relationship to begin with and probably would have broken up, anyway.

As I stated earlier (and I see someone else has, too), FB keeps me easily in touch with people I care about who live far away. If you use it for that, it's not going to take over your life or have negative effects. There is no drama on my FB. A couple times, people who I know from online communities (such as this one) started crap on my page so I unfriended and blocked them. Now there is no drama on my page, but there is lots of love.

I also use it to mass invite people to events (parties at my house, dinner out, whatever). It's easier to remember everyone when their profiles are right there.

Yesterday morning I learned that the guy who inspired me to eat right lost his 32 year old daughter on facebook. Later in the day I learned my uncle died on facebook. So yeah, yesterday was a pretty terrible facebook day for me.

I avoid facebook o.o
