Rick, I strongly believe that Facebook was a major contributing factor to the downfall of my marriage. Not on my end... on the wifes. Not saying there is anything going on, but beware of spouses reconnecting with old friends. The "grass is greener" scenario will most certainly always immerge.

Well I have no interest in connecting with these folks 25 years ago when I was in school I certainly have no intention of doing t now. But they were people that I knew from yesterday, that I was friendly with. It was easier for me to just close my acct. Yanno.
I am sorry to hear of your issue, and am sure you understand what my wife feels, even though it is unfounded here.

I get the same feeling about Facebook too. Most of the people on their that my wife is friends with I've never even heard of. All-in-all I don't trust it. Although it is fun... but like other people have said here, if i'm not currently friends with people right now from the past what's the point? I only have so many hours in a day for my own family let alone people from the past.

I just got a friendship request on FB from a guy I grew up with 30 years ago. He talked me into doing all sorts of bad things as a kid and grew up to be a very abrasive person I would never spend time with today.
The nice thing about FB is that you can simply click the "ignore" button and the other person will never know you did it and will probably assume you don't log into your FB account much if at all.
I clicked "ignore" on this guy and I've done it to a couple of other people I used to know... one was an old flame I have no reason to connect with any longer (happily married for 22 years and fighting hard to keep it that way).
Ah, personal boundaries. It's great to have them and use them online as well as offline.

I'm glad to know that they don't know if you hit ignore. It hasn't gotten bad yet, but what I liked about facebook is I didn't have just random people just adding me like on MySpace, and thankfully I haven't gotten any "hey baby u r sexy" messages yet on facebook either. It seems a little more "real." I am getting a couple here and there though that I'm like who is this person? They seem to have no common interests and I have no clue where they found me. One guy's profile isn't even in English, in fact, isn't even in the same alphabet. It's farsi or something.
