Careless Mistake

[mmk1]

My xOW and I ended things over a month ago after a 5 year on-again/off-again A, after 5 years of our families being close friends.

 

I recently decided to deactivate my FB account and update my little used Linkedin accout. While in Linkedin, I just clicked to select all of my gmail contacts with a Linkedin account, about 50 people, which apparently still included xOW's H! To my horror, H was the first to accept the request out of of all the people on the list at 2:37 a.m. this morning.

 

H does not know about the A and as we all used to be close friends would not think anything of the Linkedin request. In fact, xOW recently asked me if I was FB friends with the H, like it would be ok, which I would never have and never would.

 

Still, I am horrified at my mistake not to check the list. I did not remember his email was still on my list as I haven't talked to H in over 2 years and emailed him 1-2x in my life. I will never see or talk to either the H or xOW again and this wouldn't change that.

 

Questions:

 

1)Is this really not a big deal and just leave it alone as most people do nothing with their Linkedin account, so it seems, or do I just wait a few days and delete him, unless that would attrach more attention?

 

2) Do I need to say explain this to the xMW, which I do not want to talk to? I'd rather leave it alone as a non-issue.

 

Please help me correct this!

Just don't worry about it. are you still in contact with OW? If so..you need to cut that out.

Delete your account for a while then when you go reactivate it again, delete and block him (and the MW too) asap.

 

Whatever you do, don't contact her.

I would just ignore it or delete the him. I don't know anyone who routinely looks through their contacts to see who they are connected with.
