Butterfly5525 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 After the breakup with your ex, did you not only delete them from your friend's list but also go a step further & block them? If so, why? Just curious.... Link to post Share on other sites
Billie The Puppet Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 After the breakup with your ex, did you not only delete them from your friend's list but also go a step further & block them? If so, why? Just curious.... Only hit block but kept her on the friends list. Odd why would one do this? Blocking a friend on the friendslist will make their profile unavailable to you and will block feeds related to them. Keeping said friend means if I ever get the urge to unblock I can't because it will auto add the blocked friend as a friend in the newsfeed without a confirmation which means the ex will see their name has added you as a friend . Not to meantion you can't reblock for 24-48 hours. Link to post Share on other sites
smudge21 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Just unfriended, but that's down to the break up being nice and not nasty in anyway. I reckon if cheating is involved, if you're struggling to move on, you want revenge etc etc, then delete and block and close Facebook for a good while. Every situation is different though.

Exit Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 First I just deleted her. No reason to block her when most of my profile is private. But then after deleting her part of me regretted it, of course there's that morbid curiosity to keep tabs on her and see if she ends up in a relationship, and another part of me didn't like to "single her out" by making it obvious that I was just deleting her, so I actually ended up deleting my entire profile and I can't wait until the 14 days goes by and it is fully wiped from their system. I'm so sick of this website, I hate that "Facebook" has become so synonymous with relationships and more importantly relationship problems. It is an addiction, even for someone like me who doesn't post statuses and comments all day, all I ever did was put up music videos. It's still an addiction because I have the urge to want to sign in and undo the deletion process. But as the days go by, it becomes a little easier to tell myself I'm sure I haven't missed much on there, maybe just things that would hurt me or make me jealous if anything. I think I'm taking an extended vacation from Facebook and maybe relationships too. Link to post Share on other sites
Surf Rider Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 After the breakup with your ex, did you not only delete them from your friend's list but also go a step further & block them? If so, why? Just curious.... Others may not agree with me, but I deleted my entire facebook page cuz the day after she broke up with me, there were a lot of people posting a lot of stuff......major drama......... so I just deleted the whole thing. I'm glad i did and it made me feel so much better cuz i don't have to know what's going on in her life. Just my 2 cents. Hope it helps. Link to post Share on other sites
radiodarcy Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 i deleted him but didn't block him. no need to - - he's too busy living up his own life to be interested in what i'm up to. Link to post Share on other sites

giuliano-3 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Over the past year (since breakup) I have un-friended, re-friended, then un-friended again and then finally last month blocked her. Once I blocked her she wrote me a text for the first time in 4 months, which made me realize that she had been checking out my profile the whole time. While I have an urge to check her profile (by creating a fake profile or un-blocking) I haven't done it yet. Its hard, and for me its gotten harder to not have a peek. One thing thats happened since the blocking is that I haven't gone onto FB very often, maybe once a week. Hoping the urges get less frequent, but dreaming about her more often lately hasn't helped.
