I just checked his profile and he hasn't been on his OLD account in like 4 days, does that mean he met someone new? UGH I PLEDGE NC EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why do i do this to myself. jeebus gosh darnit!
Author CopingGal Posted July 3, 2012 Author Posted July 3, 2012 I think you should delete any accounts that are connected to dating sites that he is on. You need a clean break in every way possible.
skyisfalling Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 he is on EVERY dating site- that loser. i swear he's subscribed to everyting across the rainbow. But yeah, i need to stop myself from checking his site and blocking his profile so i never see it again.. AND ITS BLOCKED! Hurray for me.
Author CopingGal Posted July 3, 2012 Author Posted July 3, 2012 Hurray for you. Even though I started this thread, I so very much wanted to Google my ex tonight and see if he started running races again. He was a runner but developed physical problems. Well I did not. Screw him. Why should I? What the Hell did he ever do for me but disrespect me? I'm not going to Google him. I'm going to bed instead. 1
tryingtodiscoveranew Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 This one is a no-brainer for me. Thx CopingGal for the thread! I completely let go of FB over a yr. ago. From my break-ups and obsessions with maintaining counter-productive relationships, I have learned social networks just add fuel to the fire. It causes a personality like mine to be demolished and drown in my jealousy and low self-esteem, as I see more pics of ex's seemingly having the time of their life! Until, I can correct my issue of relying on things outside of myself to give me reassurance, I will be taking this pledge! 1

I wish I had not seen some things... But now I won't allow me to feel that way again, so, yeah!! I take this pledge
coltsfan1 Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 I totally deleted fakebook over a year ago, people really don't need to. I will never turn my profile back on, I would however have a joint account with my spouse. After you all take this pledge I am willing to bet you won't even miss fakebook/google+ after a few months.
Author CopingGal Posted July 3, 2012 Author Posted July 3, 2012 Th Thx CopingGal for the thread! ! You are very, very welcome.
Phanpooh Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 or just ask ur ex to ignore you, shop chilling kids... be a mature haha just kidding, i did it, made my ex ignore me and promise she wont love me in future, and that way i cope......
Double D Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 I Double D take the pledge. I deleted my fb account almost a year ago + your right Coltsfan1 I don't miss it at all. Been tempted to google her name of few times but thought much better of it.
Nicomis Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 This post= A stroke of pure genius! Seriously, you should get an award for this one. :-)
nevadagirl Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 I've had similar impulses lately but I've been good. I just google myself instead. 1
WeAllMightBeNuts Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Really don't get FB. But it is interesting to watch the lambs walk into the grinder thinking it is important and that list is really "Friends".

I sometimes think about it, but I am able to chase the thought finally . 1
StellaA Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 It is great therapy...........I deleted anthing to do with him on FB, his family (who are still get on with) and mutual friends. I explained to them in an email that I was doing it and wished them all the best. Told them I had to do it for me and they understood. I have closed our joint account so I don't keep getting letters addressed to both of us. All his photo's and gifts are in a box and I have sold all our joint furniture so I don't have to look at it in the garage. The bits I could not sell have been stored and covered at the back of the garage. I'm still hurting but I'm hoping this is good steps towards my recovery! I PLEDGE
Onemore Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 You can take the Facebook stuff one step further by blocking them completely. When you block them, you cannot see their page at all on FB and they cannot see you.
