After a NC success story, I really hoped I wouldnt be starting a thread for a while..

the note indicates you're still hanging by a string.

 

Tomorrow will be three weeks since the break up. I've been doing really good, hitting the gym, going on dates, boxed up and gave her stuff to a friend and then... I was on Facebook today and I noticed she untagged herself from pics I had of us which prompted me to look at her Facebook (something I hadn't done in two weeks) and noticed she untagged or deleted any pics of us. Why does that hurt/bother me so much? Just a couple days ago someone asked me about her and I was all like "I wouldn't take her back" and now I'm all like "why is she trying to erase me from her life? Did I matter so little she wants to pretend I never happened?". I know everyone recommends deleting/blocking them from fb but I'm NOT gonna do that. We have so many friends in common, it feels childish so skip that advice. I AM trying to actively avoid looking at it and I removed her from my newsfeed so I won't unintentionally see updates. I obviously failed today.

 

Anyways, feels like a weak moment and I wanted to vent here instead of doing something stupid. Just looking for support and explanation as to why it still stings if there are any.

 

Thanks!

sorry i haven't been on in a while.

 

as for blocking her and you thinking it's childish...that's not the point. you have so many friends in common and that means you're always going to see nonsense she posts on others' pages. block her and be done with it. don't give her the satisfaction to continue bothering your emotions.

 

and yes, totally natural to feel scorned when she's erasing and untagging you from her life. that's why you block her...so you can lay the final nail in the coffin yourself without letting her keep pounding your ego.
