No, not because of Facebook’s odd new layout. A man’s wife contacted a boyfriend of 30 years ago and he responded by threatening to kill her. Which is a logical reaction.

A 55-year-old Silverdale man was booked into Kitsap County jail on suspicion of assaulting his wife of 28 years after she contacted an old boyfriend on Facebook.

The woman reported to Kitsap County sheriff’s deputies that she had connected over the Internet with a man she had dated 32 years ago. He now lives in the south, she said. The woman had told her husband about it and “he appeared OK” with it, the sheriff’s report said.

On Friday, she told deputies that her husband had become upset with the Facebook contact and demanded to know her password. Later that day, he called her 18 times at work, even though she told him to stop. Her told her to “tell everyone at work goodbye,” which she took as a death threat.

Facebook is weird. Whereas before, I could totally forget about an ex and never answer their texts or never see them, now some of them I have to see every single whim and status update and guy they’re drunkenly making out with. And then if I want to defriend them because I’m tired of seeing their stupid whore face, it’s like, “Oh you defriended me, this is the single biggest insult I’ve ever come across in my life.” So basically, to avoid societal awkwardness now, I have to maintain some faux relationship with someone whom, if they died in a fiery car crash, would probably leave me with a feeling of nothingness followed by a desire for a cheeseburger.

Anyway, it’s probably not okay if your chick contacts an ex on Facebook. Unless she does the Superpoke item of “Blow _____”. Then you might want to consider getting an ax, some bleach, a speedboat, and begin the healing process.
