Ilovehim Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 What do you think about someone who keeps an ex on their page "just so they can see how good I'm doing and to see how pretty i look on my modeling pictures and how happy I am with my new boyfriend and new life"?
mrt336 Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I've never unfriended an ex on facebook. I've never had a really dirty breakup though. I would unfriend someone if we had a bad breakup but in general I see no harm i staying "facebook friends"
Pfiend101 Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I've deleted all ex's on facebook. I think it hinders you from moving on. My last had a picture of her kissing some guy 5 days after we broke up. Needless to say I was upset and confronted her about it. What went from a somewhat mutual breakup turned kinda ugly. It was none of my business but I felt stabbed through the heart. Unless you want to see them with someone else. Delete
SilkRose Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I don't add current boyfriends or ex boyfriends to Facebopok, it's a rule for me, no exceptions. It's so damaging to see what someone is doing and who their friends are, it's depressing and pointless. I'd rather just focus on the relationship or move on from a previous relationship. OP in terms of your original question, people like to play games sometimes, I'm just not one of those people. I don't want to start posting those kind of photos or looking for them on someon's page. As I've discovered, game play just leads to hurt and pain on both sides. It's not worth it. I'd rather move on.
Lucy_b Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I delete and block my ex's on face-book even block not to be mean but to move on I throw every thing out suck it up and move on. but this time I am struggling to remove my ex from my life even though I removed changed and blocked everything I know my ex is going through a rough patch and is lost. the nice side of me wants to help but it is not my battle to fight and the odd part is that if my ex was to turn up on my doorstep in a state no matter what it was I would help. I now have that lets take different roads but as we do that I don't want to know you or see you and have updates but if you ever need help I am hear for you relationship. Other than that I do not wish to know what my ex is up to.
aerogurl87 Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 My recent ex is still on my facebook, but then again he barely uses it. In fact, he doesn't even have a picture up on his, lol. The guy before him whom I had the worst break up with ever, blocked me the very day after we broke up because I wrote on his wall something about wondering how his new girlfriend would feel about him telling me he loved me the day before he got with her. Oh well, in hindsight it was the best thing that could've happened, along with me deleting all our pictures together off of there.
USMCHokie Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Mine is unfriended but not blocked. That way she could post all the things she wanted to about how happy and lovey dovey she was with her new guy without feeling bad about me possibly seeing it. Compassionate one, she is...
LovelyDaze Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I have exes from WAY past that i feel indifferent about on my Facebook. Some are married or even single, but I don't want to date them again at all. My recent ex from last year? He was hidden, then blocked, then deleted. It's just too fresh. It made me feel so good inside and free to remove him. Hanging on to an ex you still love on Facebook is just torture. You won't be able to help seeing if they are dating someone new or if they say something that has anything to do with you. It's not healing in any way, shape, or form.
Silver_star Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I may not de-friend an ex right after a break up because I am angry or upset and who knows what may happen down the road. My general rule is that if i havent talked to them in 6months. Ill delete them. Whether hes an ex or not. I think its okay to keep ex's on facebook but only if your still on good speaking terms, and if they are starting a new relationship and its bothering the other girl/or its bothering my boyfriend I may delete them out of courtesy. Its just facebook afterall, and if they are really your friend wont they have your number?
