I was listed as "In a relationship" with a girl for about a year and a half. When we broke up, I immediately listed myself as single, and a few weeks later "hid" her from my news feed. So fb hid posts by her, but Facebook didn't care enough to hide posts on her wall by mutual friends. These are the changes Facebook needs to make.

[–]willardfillmore 1 point2 points ago

Why not just...unfriend her?

Seriously, if you don't want to see anything relating to this girl, just remove her from your friends list. Then you won't be faced with anything directly having to do with her profile.

[–]kameto 7 points8 points ago

Sometimes people take the act of unfriending offensively. If he broke up with her on good terms, unfriending might come off the wrong way.

I'm with you on this one. I'm still friends but I don't ever see anything she does. Rips a hole in me when I do finally look several months later and find she's already in another relationship though. Oh well, don't have oneitis anymore.

Managing to maintain friendships with the more significant of the exes: probably one of my happiest accomplishments.

Just because we didn't work out romantically doesn't mean we have to hate each other.

[–]asdfirl22 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

What do you do if you can't get over here? (if she's not the one who broke up, and getting back together is not going to work)

/foreveralone

[–]ebbomega 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't quite understand what that sentence means.

I have one major ex that I don't speak with anymore, but that's because there was a lot of resentment between us and I just haven't found the reason to bridge that gap - we're in separate cities and I'm happy to best leave sleeping dogs lie.

Point is I'm not looking to get back together with my exes - we broke up for a reason(s) and I'm happy to look forward with my life. But we were together for a reason(s) too and so having them in my life - as a non-romantic part - still shows itself to be a terrific asset.

Sometimes can lead to awkwardness (like when my current gf and ex-gf met each other that one day and they were both wearing generally the same outfits) but I've found that after admitting, communicating and working past those awkward moments, it's turned into something actually pretty awesome. Exes make great friends: they know you really well (in some ways better than yourself) and can offer really appropriate advice in your neverending quest to find happiness in your life. And if you broke it off (generally) amicably, they're just as invested in you finding happiness as you are. That's what real love is IMO.

Exes make great friends? When people break up, they always say it is mutual, but it rarely is. If you think your ex makes a great friend, I am willing to bet you were the one to break up with her.

You can hide them from your news feed. That's what I do for any girl I've dated. You don't have to see them, and it's not as dramatic as "defriending" someone.

Back in my day, if you broke up with someone, you didn't talk to her and assumed she and all of her friends hated you and talked shit about you while you were busy swimming in an ocean of opiates surrounded by hookers with hearts of gold who loved you for who you were.

If you're paying alimony or have to deal with visitation rights with your kids, you should. If she cheated on you, that is a big enough mark to null out alimony entirely and get more time with your kids and possibly pay less/no child support (Paying none implies 50/50 custody)

At the risk of sounding like someone with zero class that wedding doesn't sound that bad....to attend anyways. When I get married I will never stoop that low but there is nothing worse than spending an hour in a church then going and hanging out at some faux classy reception hall in your suit while drinking $5 a bottle wine. Don't forget the $150 hotel room and the gift.

At least at this one I assume there is no dress code and you could probably act how you pleased. Of course the cover charge leads me to believe there would be no free alcohol so maybe it wouldn't be that cool.

Either way you dodged a bullet with that one. I wouldn't want to be with anyone that would get married in a bar. I wouldn't mind attending a wedding like that though :)

I saw a photo of my ex...FB suggested her as a friend...and I was thinking when I saw the photo: "what in God's name happened to that pretty young sweetheart I spent 10 years of my life with and who is that fat assed crazy woman in the photo?" So, just out of boredom because neither the Lions or Tigers were playing yesterday, I clicked on her profile. I have never been so happy that I got divorced from her. Holy moses, she weighs a ton, has skin sloughing off her face, looks like her teeth were purchased at Bennie's Five and Dime, her clothes from rejected Mel Trotter stores and a "girlfriend" who loves her for who she is. Needless to say, I slunk away hoping I left no tracks.

[–]MrDreamThief 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Of course there were other issues. She spent our money like there was no tomorrow, she spent more time with her friends than parenting our children, her cooking skills were almost non-existent, but I could and did live with that because I loved her with everything that was me. What I couldn't live with was when she came home one Saturday morning and said "I'm leaving you for Lisa."

[–]abbeynormal 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

All very good reasons. I just wanted to ask. I read it like you saw what she looked like, and THAT alone was what made you glad you weren't with her.

[–]ethanhunt_ 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Is there something wrong with that alone being the reason?

It would simply not be acceptable for someone I'm with to be morbidly obese. It shows a gross disregard for her own health, lack of concern regarding her appearance, and lack of will-power. Being unable to get out of bed in the morning without hitting snooze twice is one thing, but to have such blatant disregard and weakness of self to increase your weight two to three times is just unacceptable. I think this particular problem usually manifests itself in other aspects of a persons life and character as well.

Seriously! I've always deleted them as if that part of my life is over and they still add me back. My boyfriend also has most of his exes added. His list of friends on Facebook isn't that big, so it's like he has dated half of his friends on there. He will even scroll through his news feed, pointing at some of the girls say "I hate that girl". It's strange to me. Why, boys?

[–]trueturns 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Man, so glad to hear this since I get that too. Usually it's "This chic said the most stupid thing... let me tell you". Really? So why don't you just delete them permanently so you won't be bothered by their stupidity anymore? At this point what's the benefit in maintaining a virtual friendship with these ladies? The cynic in me says that these guys can't let go because on some weird, hidden, twisted level they still have interest. Interest to see her fail, interest to see her progress, interest in her current interests, etc. The virtual ex broke his heart when he was 16 and he can't let it go.

I dunno about other people, but I often find there is loads value in this though, and it isn't a bother at all. I quite often get a heads up from friends to go check out someone's hilarious fb disaster. I'd be genuinely disappointed if I didn't have access to that.

That said, none of these people are my own exes.

[–]ITripFatPpl 2 points3 points ago*

Same here, and everyone says "I only keep people I actually care about on my facebook", I'm the opposite way, if I actually give a shit about someone I talk to them enough in reality not to need to virtually stalk them, they're the ones I could remove because I hang out with them every few days, I'm not gonna miss something, for me facebook is a easy way to find out what has happened to all the people I've encountered in my life, but can't be bothered to talk to, they say you don't talk to 95% of the people you knew in high school after you graduate and I find that very true, so it's nice having an easy way to see who traveled the world, who got a cool job, who's life went to shit, who got pregnant.

I spend a lot of time bored in my university courses so I just browse facebook to see what everyone has been upto. I still have all but one of my exes on there (no idea why she removed me, haven't talked to her in over a year but I had her on facebook last time I checked 6 months ago or so, she starting chatting me up again saying it wasn't working out with her boyfriend again, I was just like "oh that sucks.") None of them have done anything interesting, they're all gone and gotton boring boyfriends and led average lives, almost all of them are still with the next guy they dated after our breakup, that's like 4 in a row (one's even engaged, I'm only 18), I'm beginning to think I'm some sort of lucky charm for finding their true love.

tl;dr Facebook is for stalking people you can't be bothered to talk to.

[–]tehbiscuit 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's mostly because unfriending or blocking someone on Facebook causes more drama then just hiding their posts or ignoring them. When you unfriend someone, or worse, block them, you come off as the person that couldn't deal with the idea of the other person being happy.

Then if you happen to run into that person on the street or sometime in the future, it just makes it a bit awkward if you try to be civil to one another. Worse, it makes you come off as the bad guy since they "tried" to keep things civil by at least keeping up appearances of the most trivial level of friendship (i.e. facebook friends).

[–]YNinja58 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Why would I unfriend someone I'm on good terms with and consider a friend? So we dated...who cares? Not every break up is some huge hateful fight. Sometimes it's 2 adults looking at each other and going "hey, this isn't working" and moving on.

[–]SpookyRockjaw 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Frankly I was really surprised when I noticed that one of my exes unfriended me. Especially considering that we split up on (what I thought) was fairly good terms. It just seems weird to unfriend someone to me unless you had a serious falling out with them which has not really happened with anyone I have ever known.

Same thing happened here. Girls confuse me. My ex broke it off with me. Very friendly for a while, then says a bitch comment and stops talking to me for a month. Then, a day before moving to Virginia, she calls and asks if i still have her duffle bags she left at my place before the split. I bring them over to her like a spineless creature. She's nice and promises to keep in contact, then gets a new boyfriend in a week.

I had an ex at one point that did the "I'll keep in touch, oh wait, I forgot that I'm a girl and that it's insanely easy for me to get dates so nevermind" thing. Stings like a bitch, man. Have a commiseration upvote.

I do agree that you have a point here with it all depending on how the breakup went down. I guess I have a pretty harsh outlook on the whole matter in thinking they're an ex for a reason so why continue to be involved... even if it's something as remote and intangible as Facebook. I suppose I am alone in this twisted sort of thinking...

Similar situation to yours, I had a recent breakup where the girl asked if it was alright if she texted me in a month if things didn't work out with this other guy that she had been seeing "off and on" for several months prior to us dating. I was taken aback and even a bit insulted, but I kept the breakup amicable and really thought it was the least emotional or drama-ridden breakup I'd ever been in.

Fast forward a couple weeks and I discover she completely blocked me on facebook/gchat, etc. Only reason I found out was because I was tagging a friend in a photo on facebook that happened to have the same common last name as her and she didn't appear on my friend's list.

It felt weird to me as well since I'm friends with several ex's on facebook and this breakup was probably the cleanest. I have a feeling I dodged an emotional mess with that one.

I un-friended my ex because I was spending too much time wondering 'what if we were still together?' The quality of my single life increased dramatically when he was out of sight and out of mind, I could be a healthy person again. However, he ended up understanding; we're back together.

My ex-boyfriend only deleted me after we'd been broken up for just over a month and he came to drop some stuff off at my house; he also deleted my current boyfriend way before that. His current girlfriend deleted us too.

Although his current girlfriend is my current boyfriend's ex-girlfriend. So we all seem to have done a bit of a wife-swap. They only got together after we got together and they're both really really bitter - probably because they were the break-upees though...

When you get out of highschool you stop doing the things where you date all of your friends and all of your friends friends. Dating in highschool is really just silly in general though. I regret all the time I've wasted over girls in highschool when I could have always just hung out and had fun.

[–]BaconBiscuits 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Oh, no, we're not in high school; we're all in 2nd year at university and all at different universities (except my boyfriend and his ex, they're at the same one)

It's a whole big complicated story about how we all know each other. But basically we were going out with highschool sweethearts then my boyfriend and his ex broke up and a couple of weeks later me and my ex broke up and then we got together then they got together a week later.

It sounds really highschool, I know. grumble.

I live in a small town. I've been out with probably five girls here and I see them fairly regularly. Why would I unfriend them when they're still friends?

[–]Confucius_says 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Unless your "ex" was just someone you took out on 1 date and decided to not go any further or something like that.. then I think youre just lying to yourself when you try to keep in touch with your exes. all that "friendship" represents is jealousy and not being over the relationship.

Though there is one ground I could never figure out things on. I'm xbox friends with my sister's boyfriend.. but they broke up. I don't know if I should take him off my xbox friends list. I don't want to be like "yeah dude we were never friends, you were just dating my sister" at the same time I've never really talked to the guy or played a game with him since they broke up.

[–]HookDragger 0 points1 point ago

Honestly... I was friends with all my exes before I started dating them, and I'm too lazy to figure out how to un-friend someone until they clutter up the wall more than usual.

[–]Colourflow 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

And there's the opposite effect. Looking at my ex's profile that is now even more attractive, successful in her carrer as a dancer and happy with her new boyfriend.

I'm not jealous or anything. It just kind of brings me down and I start asking myself a lot of questions, like: "What if things happened differently?"

Oh well... que sera, sera. sigh

I actually first thought the same thing as RUN_BKK.

Facebook posts of your ex are only relevant because you see her with other guys and are like 'fuck that.'

I get now that Neo is "dodging bullets" ie you find out that your ex got fat or is now crazy. That doesn't always happen though.

[–]perdynerdy 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If you're truly wanted to move on, you would let go of those connections. It doesn't mean you hate them. Collecting/keeping all your exes "close" can really hinder your chances in new relationships too. It sends a weird message. If you are no longer interested in this/these people, why do you feel the need to see all their updates and pictures? Not everyone feels this way, but in my experience it's better to just cut ties and leave it be.

[–]gggggrrrrrrrrr 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

for me, unfriending someone is the equivalent of "i hate you, you son of a bitch, go die", and since i'm on good terms with all of my exes, i see no reason to do that. with 300 friends, its not like i see them on my news feed or anything.

[–]perdynerdy 0 points1 point ago

It's a personal choice. I have to say though, getting into a serious relationship with someone who keeps an open line of communication like that with a bunch of exes and old flings can really suck.

I've had exes that have been great mutual break ups and we stay friends on facebook... then there's the exes who love to add you even though things ended messily. I don't understand why those people want to have any kind of connection after a train wreck. It feels better to let some things lie instead of dredging up bad memories.

I dunno. I am a domesticated mammal who is basically resting on my laurels now that my junk has been semi retired to the land of matrimony. I sort of enjoy browsing my newsfeed or friend list since I am on good terms with several exes and slept with most of my female friends over the years. It is sort of fun to look through my newsfeed or friend list and say "hit it, hit it, hit that one too, hit that one like a boss, etc." I know that this probably means that I am a vain selfish bastard, but what the hell. I get my kicks where I find them.

Edit: certainly there are some who were bullets I dodged, but there are quite a few that I don't regret at all and are still very attractive and interesting.

and then a couple days ago, she calls and hangs up without saying anything. These are low life people that decent people do not need to associate with, so no reason to keep them informed about your life. There a billion other fish in the sea, dont worry.
