What am I supposed to do??

My ex, Elise, just requested to be friends on Facebook. I have no clue what to do! It was a messy break up and that was my fault. I’m afraid that she wants to talk about it or something or that she’s reached some stage of being okay in life where she just wants to open up to make amends. I don’t really want to talk about anything! I guess I’d be okay with talking if it weren’t for two fears

1) She’ll want to talk in person. I’m not good at face-to-face seriousness

2) She’ll want reasons and details and things that I can’t give because I can’t remember

My instinct is simply to ignore the request, but then there’s that tiny part of me that doesn’t want to be a complete bitch. Maybe I should just be a bitch. It’s pretty much how I ended the relationship, so why not just continue on that note?

How fucking awful of me.

Accept the invitation. If she wants to talk about anything that makes you uncomfortable just apologize and tell her you aren’t ready to talk about that yet. You can always delete her if things are awkward.

I’d give her some response because ignoring her is probably the most hurtful way to treat this. If you choose to decline I would at least give her a reason that being Facebook friends just wouldn’t work.
