SuperMatt Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 So what is the correct thing to do when you break up with someone on facebook? I dated a girl for close to 4 years and Broke up with her so I delete her from my facebook and blocked her because I didn't want her seeing my pictures so she wouldn't get jealous. Later on she got mad and told me that I "deleted" her from my life. haha I thought that was funny. But do girls really get that mad about that stuff?
thegoodlife Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 I don't think it's just a girl thing. I know of both males and females who have gotten hung up on the FB thing after a break up. You two were together for a really long time and I'm sure she just feels that still having you on FB was a way of keeping a piece of you in her life.

Author SuperMatt Posted April 4, 2010 Author Posted April 4, 2010 I broke up with her because it wasn't working out. Mostly communication issues (doubles standards and stuff like that) Later on we talked over coffee to settle things down and just put some closure on the relationship, which was good. She kept talking about her new boyfriend (seemed like she was rubbing it in my face) Which is immature, another reason why I broke it off with her. And then she wanted me to add her on her facebook so a couple weeks later I tried to be her friend but she didn't respond or even add me so I was like wow....wtf, why is she complaining then???

You did the absolute correct thing when it comes to a break up. Sever contact and move on with your life. Don't know what the reason was for you to break up with your exGF but if she cheated,lied, or mistreated you in any kind of way, just move on. If you respond by adding her back on Facebook, all you will get is game playing. You'll see faux declarations of loving another guy, LOVING her life to bits and pieces and/or taunting you in other ways that pushes your buttons. Don't be a sucker and fall for that.
blind_otter Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 Facebook blah. I had to delete my ex and 5 of his family members. I didn't block him at first but I subsequently decided it would be better if he didn't have access to any of my information.

She's waffling because she wants to believe that 4 yrs of her life were not wasted and 'poof' gone. Young women have trouble sometimes with the 'clean cut'. They waffle, come back wanting to be just friends, etc. When we're older it's easier to make the clean break because we know the above doesn't work. Just cut your losses and go to the next craps table.

If she can walk away from you, she doesn't deserve to be in your life OR your online information. Ask any of my exes if they can access my accounts or information. They CAN NOT because I don't want them in my life.
gtrplayer Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 While face book was (and maybe still is) labled or "considered" a "connection realm" if you will, for adults... It does nothing but breed rediculous, immature, time wasting drama for most involved. Now there are "Games?" Harvesting or Farming and many other "adult" time consuming things. It's no longer just a way for friends to connect... It breeds jealousy, discontent, and drama all around... "why is SHE your friend?" "why haven't you accepted my friend request?" "Why are you poking me?" It has it's advantages... AND for those that enjoy plastering their entire lives on the internet (of which is fine for those that chose to do that) to include what kind of mood they are in today at 3pm central time, then they enjoy the breed and proliferation of drama and content it brings. I rambled and I apologize. The bottom line in regard to your question.. is this. Facebook is a form of "contact".... if you go NC (No Contact) then sever the "friend" link or whatever it is that maintains that "contact"... NC is NC period. This is VERY hard to do, belive me... I know this all too well! But again, NC is NC regardless of teenage website, adult website or any other means of "contact."

Agree with most everything but in all honesty, FB is a great way for me to stay in touch with REAL FRIENDS, not exes....
Author SuperMatt Posted April 5, 2010 Author Posted April 5, 2010 Awesome thanks everyone for your input and I totally agree. I shouldn't care what she says anyways if she wants to get mad or whatever thats her problem not mine.
