Social media has given people a way to stay connected and become connected over years, miles, whatever. But what if you don't want to be connected to a particular person for a good reason?
First a little background...in high school I had a terrible relationship with a boyfriend. It is one that I am not proud of and one that I don't want to be reminded of. Several weeks ago, I had a friend request from this old boyfriend on Facebook. I declined it. Then again this past weekend, I had a friend request from him again. I ignored it. On Tuesday, I had a message from him that said "I just wanted to apologize." For one thing, if you are going to apologize, please say what you are apologizing for. Needless to say, the friend requests and the message have all been ignored.
It isn't that I haven't gotten over the relationship or am still dwelling on the past. It is because that particular part of my life doesn't have a whole lot of good memories. I would prefer if he wasn't privy to pieces my life even if it is through the superficiality of Facebook. I have no desire to reconnect or mend fences.

All this bad stuff happened 15 years ago. I have moved on with my life. I am assuming he has done the same. So why bring up these really negative feelings again. Maybe it is to clear a conscience, I am not really sure. whatever it is, I was content with leave good enough alone...and I still am.
