CaliBabe Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Agreed with the above poster. Facebook is what people want you to think. It is all a show of what people want you to see. They of course are flaunting the positives in their lives not any negative. 2
djmm Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 ExF of mine wouldnt tell me much stuff about her personal life but if i checked her FB page, it was all displayed there. SHe is in mid20s, im early 30s. i guess the younger generation is into FB more and dont mind displaying their whole life on it. It also serves as a way to avoid talking to people face to face. ridiculous.
HollyBolly Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Yes, FB is not good for the broken hearted. I was never active on FB until Christmas of last year, when my dog was hit by a car and killed, then treated like roadkill. I started a petition to stop this from happening to anyone else, so used FB as a tool. Ironically, my ex, who loves FB, saw this as a threat and dumped me...I think (still not sure who dumped whom, to be honest.) This happened on 11th Feb, not 2 months after I lost my beloved dog. I also noticed that she had blocked me from seeing her posts and some other stuff, i.e. status, interests, etc. 2 weeks after that, I unfriended her. As I went to unblock her, I saw that she had switched to Timeline and neglected or didn't know how to apply her previous security settings. I could see her interests and her friends list. Most of her interests are BS, like enjoying reading Agatha Christie. What DID interest me was that she is now interested in MEN again. Whatever! Another 2 weeks after that, I blocked her altogether. For those of you who don't know, I live across the street from her, which means aside from keeping myself from checking her FB profile, I also have to keep from looking out the bloody window to see if she is home. On St. Patrick's Day, for some reason, I had to open the window so had to look out. I was sure I was safe since she had her daughter that night and I figured she had to be homebound. It was after midnight. WHAM! Her car was gone! What did I do? RAN to my comp and unblocked her! Nothing new. So I went to block her again, realising it was a mistake to unblock. Well, you CAN'T! You have to wait 48 hours. Well, F**K! Do you think I checked her FB profile over the next 2 days? YUP! She had started to add guys to her friends list. Set me back 100%. I have now blocked her again. Will I ever unblock her? NO! It hurts. I don't want to hurt. I want to move on. I want to get better so badly that I am moving out of this town entirely so I can get a better, less pain inducing view. For those of you who stalk your exes on FB or any other spy network, STOP! The only person who is going to get hurt is you. You will not see anything that will make you feel better. Trust me. I now only use FB to advocate against animal abuse.
