LooperDooper Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I've hard an urge to snoop around facebook searching for who could possibly be my ex's new partner. I know I shouldn't, but just the curiosity setting in and I am now seriously contemplating closing facebook for sometime. Has anyone had good results with recovery from this? I mean I've been doing well but facebook has given me slight heartaches on a few occasions (even though I've blocked her completely), I still see pictures every now and then. I plan on keeping Instagram just as to not disappear completely from the virtual world (I gotta still be able to show my happiness to somebody right? haha). But facebook I'm considering seriously closing. Any suggestions?
mtnbiker3000 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Social media is crap!!! Get rid of all of it!!!! 1
Cinnamonstix Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 The way I see it, if anything is preventing you from being happy or leads to you feeling worse, give it the heave ho. Go for a run or do something healthy instead.
kayla73 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Definitely deactivate your account if it is keeping you from moving on and enjoying life. My solution would be to delete all of your friends off of your Facebook and then deactivate it. This way, you have no reason to get back on it. Trust me, you will feel so much better! 1
Marco Valerio Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I got rid off my fb account some months ago, and I can say by doing it, has helped me moving on!!
PegNosePete Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Block her. Job done. No need to close it if you use it for other things. 1
Ruby65 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Agree with the above -- just block her! If you can't bring yourself to do that, then I'd go ahead and disable your account. It's not a big deal to do it -- you can reactivate anytime and nothing gets permanently deleted. I deactivated my account for about a year after my last breakup because my ex was very active on there and it was too tempting and I was afraid I'd go snooping in a weak moment. I've been deactivating it on and off ever since.... not a big deal, and definitely helps keep me from finding out anything that would cause more pain. Remember: ignorance is BLISS after a breakup! The less you know, the better. 1
lumberjac Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 oh do it definitely. I stopped using facebook and I get so much "extra time" to do other stuff!
irresolute Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Take a break from facebook. Or just block her.
seminoles84 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Just block her. I can't get rid of it since I set up my Spotify to FB which means I would lose all my playlist. Currently, there's no way to transfer to a email account once it's set up via FB.. bastards..
sazz8888 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Do it. To be honest do whatever it takes to get over her. Any sight of her picture, her name,her family of friends will bring it back and it will delay the healing process
David87 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Yeah thats a great ideea. Ive canceled my acount 2 weeks ago, and it feels so good.
ZiggyZoo Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Do it! Blocking isn't always enough. I went off it for two weeks, got much better, then went onto mine and a mutual friend had posted pictures of a party that my ex was at. Seeing pictures of him hurt way too much. I've just been avoiding it altogether since then. You can always go back on when you're totally over her.
KBarletta Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 In my case, blocking her was not enough. We had too many intertwined connections. At the same time, I used Facebook for work on occasion and also had friends in far-off places and liked to keep up with their photos and lives, etc. What I did was deactivate my Facebook account and create a new one. Blocked her immediately. Then I e-mailed the new page to only close friends and family who were not connected to her. That way there was no danger of accidentally seeing photos, etc. It has worked out well. I went from having about 800 Facebook friends to having about 50, but I honestly don't feel like I am missing anything. And, as far as she's concerned, I am gone, gone, gone, which has helped immensely.
