Is it normal that my ex is trying to be friend with my friends?

[lemonette]

My ex boyfriend, whom I broke up with months ago, is now trying to contact my close friends on social media, he wants to message and talk to them. Do you think this is normal? My friends think I'm exaggerating, but I definitely don't want them to talk to my ex boyfriend. Is it normal that my ex is trying to be friend with my friends? How would you react to your friends and ex boyfriend in such case?

If they were truly your friends they wouldn’t talk to him and befriend him out of respect for their friendship with you , if they do befriend him , then they really aren’t good friends and probably best to distance yourself from them. Friends are good to have if they have your back and support you and stand by you no matter what , but if they don’t then they really aren’t your friends, they are just acquaintances, So you have every right to distance yourself from those so called friends if they don’t respect your friendship with them , especially if it hurts your feelings , you don’t have to be enemies , but you don’t have to be part of their lives anymore either , I have distant myself from a lot of so called friends that didn’t have my back when push come to shove , the ones that did are still my close friends today keep them. Close to you at all costs. I always say people have either true friends or toxic friends , Eliminate the toxic ones

guess you don't want your friend to know all the shit you caused your ex during your relationship with him to continue painting him out to be the bad guy while you portray yourself as a saint in the former relationship

It certainly makes things awkward. I wouldn't feel comfortable being friends with the ex of one of my good friends. Are they accepting his requests?

It's none of your business. You two are not together. You said you broke up with him so why is his life any of your business?

he's doing it to keep tabs on you so he can start an argument with you if you start dating someone new

Probably wants to date one of them. He is an ex so I suppose he's fair game for them.

[eagle1951]

not really unless he's trying to stay close to you, or find things out about you

[Arik_jade]

Yes, it may possible if he attracted to them.
