Once I tried to reconnect as an adult I realized we are extremely opposite and had too few things in common.

You can’t have too many friends. However it can’t be one-sided. If you don’t feel that the other person wants to reconnect back off.

Your friend Nicole clearly isn’t interested in resuming the relationship, whatever her reasons are. Respect that.

Family members are jerks, or worse…crooks. Or people are not ready to face the past. Whatever it is, let it go.
Sorry to be blunt, but did it occur to you that ‘she’ might have thought of you as more than a friend? And didn’t want to deal with you and your wife?
As far as Facebook goes- it gives us the freedom to share as much or as little as we want with former contacts…or not. Ignore is an awesome feature on the ‘friend request’. Yah, I know people but I don’t want them to contact me, or see my life and photos because frankly they were complete jerks to me when I worked with them or just plain destructive.
And, sometimes, it’s not a good thing to contact ‘old high school friends’. They might ignite a flame that should not be lit.
Nah, I’m good with letting sleeping dogs lie. Not sure this is such good advice.
