I always feel weird about adding a friend's gf/bf on facebook because im worried about how awkward things will get if they break up. And Im the type of guy who's happy to add a freind of a freind who ive only met once.

I currently have 3 friend's girlfriends pending acceptance.

Yeah, unless I don't like them.

Yes. I also don't have a problem defriending them later though.

It depends on how well I know them. If I've actually gotten to talk to them, sure. If I've hung out with them--definitely.

If it's because of one of friendly comment on a picture....well, fuck. Really, why not?

I actually have become friends with friends (now ex) boyfriend or girlfriend, and ended up being better friends with them than my original friend. Unless they like, cheat or are abusive, I feel no need to automatically delete someone just because they and my friend broke up.

I can only think of one possible instance where this sort of situation came up but I was already an acquaintance of the guy so it wasn't a big deal anyway. I probably wouldn't add a significant other purely because -- wait nope I can think of another situation but I'm pretty sure the dude thought I was a threat so I just put his mind at ease. Whatever.

If I've at least met them maybe. I don't need someone adding me just to spy on my friend more. If they break up and we're not good friends I just unfriend them.

Only EoFFers add me on FB anymore so I haven't had to deal with this situation. I guess I'd take it on a case-by-case basis.

Sure, if they want to give me access to everything they do or have ever done, that's their problem.

I have no problem adding the significant other of friends or friends of my significant other if I actually plan on hanging out with them.

If I've actually met and hung out with them a couple of times and they're dating a good friend of mine. If I've met them once and looks like they won't be coming around again, probably not.

How else will you know when to swoop in?

I always accept, especially if I hate my "friend"

Only if I'm actually friends with them. Why would I "friend" anyone otherwise?

Yes. Defriending is always an option.

Yes, I don't see anything wrong with it. It's happened on more than one occasion where they break up but i still continue to keep contact with both parties.

If I'm friends with them then yeah sure.

Chose only If I'm actually friends with them. In actuality I meant, only if I actually met them. If I met them then okay. I'd be a dick not to add them and they'd probably tell my friend that I'm being a dick and not adding them so whatevs. I will also happily defriend them if they ever break up with my friend.

Generally speaking I'll add most people. Would rather add the significant other of someone than add someone I work with to my facebook if that makes sense.

I have my drinking buddy's gf on my fb. she thinks i'm funny irl (on fb she has my status updates blocked).

If they break up I'll defriend her.

It's how it works.

There's this funny little thing called the defriend button. I use it pretty often.
