if someone you known for over a decade just stop being your friend on facebook would you get mad?someone just did that to me late last night.i guess he's mad because of all my posts about the cardinals losing the world series.oh well he got flaky etc ever since he got married 4 years ago.he pretty much stopped being friendly to all his friends because his wife do's not like anyone he knows.plus she wants all his attention.he even dumped his best friend who was his best man in the wedding.i never thought he'd ever act this way.but i was wrong.things like this are why i no longer want to put much effort into friendships.never known a loyal person in my entire 43 years on earth

I've always found that once somebody gets married to someone that is not already part of the group, they change regarding how the deal with there friends. But I find it very surprising that someone would defriend you on Facebook of all things. I wouldn't take it personally, he obviously is acting that way toward others as well. Sorry you lost your friend though, I know it hurts. All we can do in these situations is move on.

a few times on facebook he complained about people ignoring him.i told him then stop ignoring me and others when you see us.if his marriage don't last he won't have any friends left to turn to.he made this excuse a few times to me and others but you are single so you don't know what it's like to be married.i have to live with that women.

Hey UCLA fan, I'm currently 5 blocks away from the Nebraska cornhuskers stadium, and if you wanted to tease me about the game we had on September 14th, it would leave a bad taste in my mouth, but I wouldn't discard you over it.

If this guy is willing to discard his best man, then his behavior towards you shouldn't be a surprise.

Thank you for your post

I'd probably feel a bit mad/hurt, for a while. Is he stopping being your friend, irl or just fb? If he didn't want salt rubbed into the wound, for being a cardinals fan, he could just 'hide' postings, for a while, not a complete removal.

It's amazing, how fb makes and breaks friendships, these days. It can be a tool, to stay in contact, yet, dependency on fb alone, seems to be 'trending'(ha, no twitter pun intended <--- )

Just found out, my cousin is having Braxton hicks contractions. That would take a couple days of phone calls/emails to discover, where fb, was a one stop informational portal, so to speak.

Hang in there, who knows, other than speculating that the new mrs' is driving him away, what's really going on, inside his head and what's really up. Have you tried calling, getting together?
