Loading ...So I joined facebook a couple of weeks ago (two?) to see what the fuss is about. I’m on MySpace and I’m not impressed at all. Its a playground for high schoolers it seems. I like facebook at this point for the fact that it has some pretty cool add-ons like scrabble and a feed for my radar account.
The other nice feature is that I seem to be finding friends on Facebook that I’ve lost contact with. A couple from scouts, some from high school and a few from college. One of the last additions from my college friends has brought a little bit of drama in to my life.
I received notification that a friend wanted to friend me, so I accepted her invite. I also added how I know her. I put school (college), an organization (rotaract) and that we hooked up. On the last one, I put I Wish! as well. She was a good friend in college (someone I studied with often), but nothing in fact had ever happened with us. Well, that lasted all of three or four days.
I checked my email this morning and I had a note on facebook from her husband.
I don’t appreciate making those comments about you and my wife, wishing or not, it’s very innappropriate and if it continues you and I are going to have some serious problems.
*****’s husband
At first, I thought I’d contact her via FB (since I don’t have an email address for her). I logged in to find out she was no longer in my friends list. I could see stuff she had sent and said to me, but I could not access her profile either. I don’t know if its been removed or I’m just blocked. Thats yet to be seen. So I replied to his email:
Hi ****** * *****. Its nice to meet you. ***** and I went to college together and I was thrilled when she contacted me here on facebook. If I offended you, I’m sorry, though I have to say you’re acting in a very childish manner.
Emailing me and threatening me with “serious problems” when I don’t even know you, and then removing your wife’s facebook profile (or at least blocking me from seeing it) is juvenile to say the least.
Any way, if I caused you and personal or mental harm, I’m sorry. If you behave this way to any of Nancy’s other male friends, I’m sorry as well.
Oh and if you see ***** (which you should since you’re her husband) let her know I’m sorry if my innocent comment (how ever true it was) caused her any problems.
I hope you and I can be the best of friends,
Mark (Amy’s Husband) Angeli
Of course, I doubt that we’ll be friend at all, but if thats the tone he wants to take…
EDIT 11/12/2007: Now her name still shows up under my notifications, but there is no link to a profile, I believe her profile has been deleted, but it appears his is still online…

Oy! Some people never grow up….You’d think you’d see the end of unfounded jealously like that end in high school.

Wow I think the jealousy bug hit him a little too hard. That’s a bit insane on his part. Wonder if he turned around after that and beat her? Sounds like something an abuser would do after an innocent contact.

Yea. I really hope that ****** wasn’t too affected by it. for the record, she thought it was funny.

Sort of reminds me of a skit on “the whitest kids you know”.
Hopefully he will look inside himself and find the root of his jealousy. It really could turn out for the best.
It’s really cool, getting back in touch with people from long ago. That’s when MYSpace and Facebook are at their best!

Although the comment may have been intended as humor, you still have to take into account how others may percieve it. Sure it is easy to say he was over-reacting, but you may not know the whole story on why he reacted in such a manner. Perhaps there is a history of inappropriate behavior on her part or her “friends” in which case it may be expected that he would react in such a way. Of course as the other comments have said, he may just be way to controlling and have trust issues.
But how did amy respond, I am assuming you have told her already? Knowing amy she probably thought it funny. I know a few other women in the family that would probably react in a similar manner to the husband if their significant other had recieved it. And a smaller subsection would have had a bigger reaction had their significant other been the one to send it. And no I am not going to say who, you can form your own opinions as to who that would be. (And yes this is directed at Mark).

The friend I had sent it to thought it was humorous. If she didn’t she could have not accepted the change to how we knew eachother (thats the nice thing about FB).
No, I haven’t told amy about this. I probably won’t as its a non-issue at this point.

Even if it was a case of past problems with her, that’d be something he’d need to take up with her first, not a complete stranger.
It’s never cool, in my opinion, to react so quickly to something like that. I can’t think of any case in which it would seem acceptable for him to respond in such a way before speaking with his wife, which he obviously hadn’t yet done or there would’ve been no reason for such a reply.
