Giha Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 So my ex made a facebook profile and it hurts. not only will she not add me, I will also have to see **** she write at mutual friends pages and stuff. Feels like crap. is there a way to block seeing stuff she writes? i mean completely...even if she's not in my friends list
adamt Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 go to setting>privacy setting then half way down the page is a blocking section. put her name in it and it will list them all on facebook and you can add her in there
Tony T Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 Can't you muster the self discipline just to stay away from her pages? This is not rocket science. In time, you will care less.
brock9911 Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 dude, my ex hasnt made a facebook yet, but she does have a myspace. it irks the sh*t out of me cuz she still has photos of us all over, she says shes in a prelationship, and has me as #1 friend. as for facebook, you can block her, but i dont know if it will block out your friends status and comments that she comments on.
Author Giha Posted August 3, 2009 Author Posted August 3, 2009 Yeah, found it. Thanks mate. Took a hit there for a second, even got a few tears for unknown reason...I guess I just miss her alot. I hope i'll get back to normal soon. Life was great when I hear nothing from her, but even the slightest of things can break me down Tony- Its not that I cant hold myself from checking on her profile, we have mutual friends (they are close friends of mine) and they will probably comment on each other's stuff so I kinda want to avoid seeing that. I think thats fairly reasonable. brock - i got my ex on myspace too. im still her #1 friend as well. but does nothing there except of checking on bands and stuff so thats ok
PandaStillLovesBunny Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 God, I know how ****ty Facebook can be with regards to the exes. I added my ex to Facebook when she finally got a profile, but she ignored my friend request -- while simultaneously adding my then-girlfriend! She later claimed that this was because she wanted to keep her profile "business only," but she had absolutely NO business with my girlfriend at that time; she didn't even know her! Facebook's master plan is to reveal everyone's inner *******, I'm sure of it.
Soul Bear Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 I added my ex to Facebook when she finally got a profile, but she ignored my friend request how'd you react to that?
broken_promises Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 Ugh. Facebook was the final nail in the coffin for my relationship, so yeah... I know the pain. My ex had never been on any social site until the last two months before we broke up. Suddenly, the "something better" that he had been waiting for to come along did and it made it that much easier for him to be okay with breaking up and moving on so quickly. When I was desperately trying to salvage things at the end, I thought we should add each other on Facebook and he evaded and then outright refused the request because "there would be things that I would have to explain on there to you." In other words, he was flirting already (which he didn't know I could see) and didn't want to deal with the fallout. It has taken an extensive amount of self-discipline to not look at my ex's comments that I can see on other people's public pages. It is how I found out about his flirting with this crush from high school and now all I do is fixate on comparing myself to her, how similar we are and why he is choosing her, etc. It has been devastating to my self-esteem and the entire tone of the breakup. I seriously SERIOUSLY hate Facebook. I wish I had never looked at his friends list after he set up a profile. I finally started realizing that it is WAY WORSE to know what he is doing than to not know. After that, it became easier to resist looking and I haven't looked in weeks. It really set me back though at the time. I hope things get easier for you.
