Am I Being Oversensitive...?
17 Answers
Right, I'm well aware that 'Facebook problems' come across as a bit childish and pathetic, but this is really bothering me, so I wanted to ask for your opinions.
I have a friend, a male friend, who I have known for nearly ten years. I'll be completely honest, we did have a bit of a 'fling' years ago, but nothing more than a bit of fun between friends.
Anyway, he has moved away and we've both moved on, but we still keep in contact via Facebook. He has a girlfriend, I have a husband, yet he'll randomly send me 'inappropriate' messages, which I have never ever responded to, other than to tell him to behave himself and maybe send them to his girlfriend instead. He recently sent me a...er... video from his phone, though I think that's all I need to say for you to understand what kind of video it was, and I responded in the same way as I have to his messages. In fact, I told him if he sent me anything like it again, I would forward it on to his partner. I really have no interest in that kind of thing.
So, since then he has gone out of his way to shoot me down, on both mine, his, and other people's statuses. Nothing specific, but general nastiness/rudeness/and trying to make me look like an idiot.
I dared to have an opinion on something today, and he went all out and posted comment after comment saying how I didn't know what I was on about, how I was a pessimist, and how he was "sick of my negativity"... despite it being the first thing I had commented on. He quite often refers to me publicly as his "facebook friend", and just the other day said via a comment on a status we had both been commenting on "well we only know each other through Facebook"... which is obviously not the case.
He will then send me a private message saying he's sorry but he doesn't want to upset his girlfriend, who wouldn't be happy if she knew we'd 'been together' - even though it was years and years before they'd even met.
Am I being stupid, or am I right to be a bit hurt that he seems to be knocking me down at any given opportunity, just to prove something to his girlfriend, who I don't even know.

Oh and then block him and send all his dirty messages on your phone to his girlfriend she has a right to know what a complete jerk he is. And what does your hubby think of all this?
Thankyou, I did think it was a bit mean, but I know the whole 'Facebook' thing can sound a bit childish.
I haven't done anything to 'deserve' it, I've always been really nice to him and a good friend. I have always replied to his 'dodgy' messages by telling him it's not right, and that he should concentrate on his girlfriend.
He then responds by saying he loves her but doesn't fancy her and she doesn't 'do it' for him..... yeah, I know, utter BS.
I even said I felt a bit sorry for her, but he just seems to take any chance to have a pop at me and make me look stupid.
Thanks, I will block right now :)

Tell your husband and then he can send him a message. A few years ago an old girlfriend of OH got his email address from somewhere and sent him pics of her 'bits' and a private email addy she set up for him to reply. he showed me straight away, so I sent an email to her suggesting she find herself someone not married to jiggle her bits at.
it is probably a bit of both - but regardless of his reasons - i understand his desire to make her think he doesnt like you - but he has no right to make you feel bad or embarrass you online - apology or not
tell him if he does it again tell him you will send her the email if he does it again
maybe the girl is suspicious of you for some reason - seen a bit of an email or been snooping etc
