LINK Why would someone worry about offending a former GF/Spouse if you just broke up or got divorced... That last thing I want to do is follow that person on FB. In fact it's one of the first things I do is remove them from my social media accounts. I don't want to see what they're doing or have them see what I'm doing. The option is designed for people who don't want to risk offending a former husband, wife, girlfriend or boyfriend by taking the more extreme step of ejecting or blocking them from their Facebook network.
After changing their relationship status on Facebook, people will also be allowed to remove their names from past posts linking them to a former partner.

Yes, we are. A friend just went through this the other day. SHE broke up with him because "she had mixed feelings", ie, there's another guy at work and we've been fooling around and I'm dumping you to be with him.
After two week he removed her from Facebook. She didn't like that apparently.
So, you dump me like an old rag, you take me out of your life in all ways imaginable, BUT you want me to keep you in FB? WTH?
When you're feeling sad, just remember that somewhere in the world, there's someone pushing a door that says "pull".

I've known a lot of women like that. They dump you but they still want to remain "friends".

Ha ha ha, there's a lot of code talking going on! The option is designed for people who don't want to risk offending a former husband, wife, girlfriend or boyfriend by taking the more extreme step of ejecting or blocking them from their Facebook network. One metrosexual's "risk of offending" is another man's "attempts to keep the hot batshitcrazy girl from stalking them in real time." Let's keep the vandalism phase we've all had to go through as payment for the insane sex in the physical realm without giving up too much operational intelligence about our whereabouts. Or maybe my life experience as a twenty-something was different than what they are experiencing today.

Dart is right about trying to keep batshit crazies from doing more weird things after things have ended. The Internet can be very ... troubling.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Well my Ex who I remained on good terms with even though she was just a tad BSC, often inquires about if I have met anyone else etc.. When we were together she was insanely jealous that I had any female friends regardless of their relationship status and would bring things up to test my fidelity and send friends I didn't know to check me out when at work or out without her. She since has found a new guy in her life, finally.. She has given up FB altogether not because he's jealous but because his friends would snoop through everyone she knows to find if she is playing him and not really too sure about their allegiance. So she closed her page Hmm, Karma

Seems like your ex never matured past the high school phase. I get told that sometimes, although I don't think it's *always* a bad thing. Never had an Ex (anything) so I can't relate, but I'm still looking forward to Mechanus' thorough analysis.

Haha... You dump me, you get unfriended. And I'd tell all my friends to do that too, unless they were mutual friends BEFORE.

After calling off our wedding a week before, my ex-fiancee absolutely lost her mind when I unfriended her on Facebook- and then hacked my account and started sending messages to friends of mine through my account.

Whats the difference between BSC and BSE? One is mad cow disease the other is an agricultural problem. Badoom-tish!

Ouch....

My insight on women is no better than a paramecium's. Looking honestly at myself I have to come to terms that I am not really interested in spending the time or effort to rectify that.
With that out of the way...
Speaking of letting go, there's this old woman (about 54) I talked to who has three children in the University and living with her husband. She then talked about this guy she liked back when she was 16.
I'm like... WTF?
Alright, during that time she was talking about leaving her husband, unhappy marriage etc. but... I just can't imagine. Maybe I just lack the insight because I never went past the 1 year mark. If I go on cursing, ranting, banging my head over a lost opportunity with a woman, you can be sure that it happened very recently.
Just remembered receiving an email reply from a message I sent ten years ago to a woman I was interested back then. Anyway that was a welcome blast from the past since I got a look at how much I #%&*$# up that relationship with the email history more than a decade old. The time scales are mind boggling.
Just let go...
(disclaimer: opinion coming from a guy who just let go of life and perceives everything as pointless)
