I'm attempting to be the cat that fell off the window sill while sleeping. You know, the one that gets up and walks away like it never happened. Yeah, that one.
But- my blunder is bothering me. It was a sincere honest flub.
I was scrolling through Facebook on lunch one day. It came upon the, 'people you may know' spots. I scrolled through a few. I stopped dead in my tracks and threw my hand up in the air. The hand holding my phone. My phone slipped. I caught it. When I caught it I inadvertently sent a friend request to the reason I threw my hands up. I accidentally sent a request to my husbands ex fiancé.
Right?!
I do not know her. I'm sure she is a perfectly decent human being. From the looks of it, a perfectly married, about to have a baby, human being. The ending of their (my hubs and she) relationship was odd. A break up in a voicemail. This has always been a thing for me. How weak do you have to be to at least not end a potential marriage face to face? I don't care how young or old you are- break ups via voice mail or texts- those are a no-no. That's goes for anyone. Not just her. I'm sure it was the easiest way out- but have a backbone. Eh hem, sorry. This really isn't the point. The point is- I randomly judo chopped my way into a friend request.
I immediately canceled this request- but I'm pretty sure the damage is done. Now, what I'm struggling with is- do I send her a message explaining the random act of perfect timing and random fate - or do I leave it alone. I'm sure she thinks I'm some creep. I'm boggled as to whhhhyyyy she was even in that feed?! I'm assuming that it's bc she and my husband went to the same high school. I'm assuming that they have at least a few mutual friends. I'm also assuming because of my relationship to my husband and the fact that she and I share a 'Nash' in our name - Facebook decided we should know and like one another. I would like to punch Facebook in the jeans.
I'm not really worried. The last thing I want though is for her to worry that I'm some weird stalker. Really, Facebook was the reason. The week prior it kept recommending my ex fiancé. I'm perplexed as to why.
So, do I or don't I send her a brief explanation?
