If you block someone on Facebook, do your friends know?

 

I don't want to see where my ex is eating dinner. But I don't want them to realise I'm blocking her. Or can I just stop anything to do with her coming on my timeline?

Oh, I am not friends with her, it is when she's tagged via mutual friends.

Your name will come up black with no link to your profile so she'll think you've either deactivated or blocked you. Searches won't work either, it'll be like you don't exist.

And none of our mutual friends will know? I don't want to deal with questions from the ones that didn't know. That will be worse than seeing her name flash up.

My ex wife and I are blocked. Once in a while a news feed will show up on my Facebook page with her name on it, but it looks grey and disabled. So "I know" shes blocked me, no idea if my other FB friends know.

 

Why do you care if your other FB friends know?

The ones that didn't know we split may start a conversation about it. I don't want those conversations. If I need to have them, they can happen when I'm fully over her.

they will not show up whatsoever if they are blocked on your profile. My ex and I have mutual friends and I know she has liked and commented on my friends posts because I have seen them on their page when they are logged on to their profile. On my page I will get my friends posts in my feed but my exes comments or likes do not appear

Seriously? Who, cares! You cannot control this, seriously. If it's important to you, start having those conversatiosn now.

 

When my ex-wife and I seperated I quickly, and I mean quickly called, met, talked to all of those close to me, close to us, to tell them. Not to tell them "my side of the story"; simply to make the announcement to avoid them learning some other way. For me it was the right thing to do.

I did the block anyway. Hopefully nobody will ask if it looks different.

 

Thanks for everybody's help.
