We broke up a few months ago and I deleted my facebook account a few weeks later because i needed to not see her on fb for a while. I recently re-joined fb again. Was this a mistake? Should I delete her?
Sorry if this sounds like a silly, trivial question (I know it is compared to other peoples problems on here) But its really bugging me. Im confused.

Hi there,

I don't really know the background of this or how things left with the two of you, but by the sounds of your post, I would delete her. I don't have my ex on facebook. I think its normal to not want to see you ex on facebook every day, especially after breaking up only a few months ago. Good luck

Like Nina said, not knowing the background makes it hard. But I too would delete her. It sounds like seeing her every day is hurting you -- so why hurt yourself daily? I say delete her and get on with your life. God bless. Hugs, Lee

You're not obligated to keep an ex as a friend on fb at all. She is an ex, so your cutting off communication is completely understandable and you're not doing anything wrong by unfriending her. It's YOUR facebook! You choose who is your friend there or not. For me, I've kept my ex on there for the moment because we are separated and not yet divorced but.. thats only to keep her from badgering me about why I unfriended her (she thinks we are friends still, and really I only keep in touch b/c of the kids). that being said, I've made it so she doesn't see my posts and comments and I turned off the feed from her so it's like she's not there anyway. Try that if you are uneasy about unfriending her.

From my recent experience, I'd probably delete her if it's causing you pain. I'm friends with all sorts of exes on FB, but I don't have any feelings about them either way..they all have girlfriends now or wives that I know and like. But, this kind of think can stir things up if anything is remotely unresolved. Not having a daily reminder will make it easier to move on (whether that means getting back together eventually or finding someone new)....

Thanks for the advice guys I unsubscribed from her updates... will just pretend shes not there for now. I still love her and would like to stay in touch in the long run... Will give it a few months before contacting her again.

If its causing you remember bad things, or if you think that nothing can be done to fix things, delete her.
Like the people above say, without a background it can be hard to tell. I wish you the best of things.
