If it was me, I wouldn't. But only because I know of girls who can become quite nasty in these sorts of situations, especially if it's something to do with the ex. I think she's just trying to add you as a way to make your friend feel insecure about his trust in you. She's using you as a means of getting to her ex, because you are his best mate.

Should I be civil or troll her to Hades and back?
Being completely serious, this wasn't your ex, it's your friend's ex. The problem is between them, not you and her. If she's done this then it's likely she's willing to be friends with you, so there should be no reason to deny her that simply because she had problems with your friend. Add her, and if she doesn't bother to make an effort as a friend then delete her from your friends list. Otherwise, treat her civilly and don't let her dispute with your friend get in the way. Best solution all round, then, and if your friend finds out and disagrees then that's his problem, not yours. I don't let my friends dictate who I socialise with, and neither should you.
That's very good advice, thank you for writing all that.

I have spoken to my friend about it though and he said she's looking to score sympathy from me so he wants me to troll her

E-DRAMA!
Thanks for taking my advice into consideration, much appreciated :) As I say, you shouldn't let other people tell you who you can or can't be friends with. I accept that the guy is your friend, but as I said before, if he had problems with his ex, those aren't your problems. However, since you've spoken to your friend and he's told you this, then I have to give the following advice, pretty much. Try adding her as a friend, accept her friend request or whatever, and see how things go from there. It's all based on your own judgement, nobody can tell you what to do or how to do it. But as far as advice goes, I would say add her, as I said before, but if she does try and score sympathy points then delete her straight away. The thing that other people don't seem to be considering is that she may or may not be doing this. Other people on this thread (no offence to those people...) seem to think that her reasons for adding you are simply malicious, and that's all. However, I feel that she may or may not simply like you as a friend. Therefore, as I say, add her, but be careful. If she wants to be a friend then she'll make an effort and things will go OK, regardless of what your friend says. If things aren't OK then delete her. I had a similar problem last year (though not involving Facebook). My friend split up with a girl who was also my friend, and they were really critical and bad towards each oter (even until now, as it happens). However, although I was on my friend's side (the first guy), I still stayed friends with them both. I'm still friends with both of them now, which proves you don't have to take sides in an argument like this...

P.S. Sorry for the Wall'O'Text (trademark).

Thanks for writing out all that again. Are you an agony aunt/uncle by any chance?

But I'm just going to play it cool for now and if she pisses me off I'm giving her account details to 4chan

Haha, that is pure evil. I approve... And nope, I'm not an Agony Uncle, I just generally think about what I say/do for ages before actually doing/saying it, so I can actually give informed and helpful answers to things. Useful on the internet, not so useful when I can't quickly think what to say in conversation, especially to the opposite sex...

I wish I could do that but I end up just sitting there with a blank mind wishing I wasn't so dumb

Dude, she's friending you so that she can 'net-stalk her ex. She might see pictures of him on your page, comments from him, whatever. Either that, or she's doing it for the reinforcement that "See? He doesn't think I'm a bad person!"

Ignore her.

Yeah. Agreed. I wouldnt try for anything romantic or sexual with this chick anyways. I wouldnt even be friends with her, not just because she's your friend's ex, but because she cheated. TWICE. Cheaters are just straight up bad people.
I won't try to influence you too much, but it seems to be common opinion to just ignore her lest you or your friend get hurt or angry.

If your friend doesn't care than tap it and drop ot, if he does mind, then block her ass. And As for the Bro Code, it is true that it says Do not sleep with a bro's ex, BUT remember articile #69.

She didn't murder anyone, did she? She had sex with other men. So burning her would've been appropriate like... eighthundred years ago? Now, I'd say the proper response is "Hello".

hit it and quit it. /sarcasm

if she is trying to get a friend out of you than see where it goes. If you find out she is using you, send her to 4chan's mercy.

Nobody fucks with The Escapist and their posse!!!
