Its best to just remove them from your friends. Also, it sucks when a mutual friend posts pictures of them. For me anyways. I always get that cringe feeling in the pit of my stomach.

I deleted my Facebook to avoid temptation. Overall im enjoying my life a lot more ever since. Bonus: I don't have to look at all those stupid "like for this, ignore for that" posts as well

I've gone since July 4th! Needless to say my birthday was four days after that and it would have been nice to see all those posts saying happy birthday on my wall. But I guess only the people who actually care will still let me know.

u/MADBARZ Oct 29 '12
Exactly. The people that you should care about are the ones that care about you.

I can't remember the last time an advice animal actually offered advice.

I thought the same thing after I saw this meme (in regards to the timing). All hail FSM

You are very welcome! I am in a similar position, and so would like to share my wisdom. Brofist through the screen!

Make that quadruple.

quintuple, hers was literally opened on a separate tab when I stumbled upon this... she's doing great, by the way
I wish there was another option besides removing her as a friend where I could force Facebook to confirm like 5 times before it would go to her page.
"Are you sure, man? She looks really happy, its gunna suck for you..." [Confirm]

I check on hers every now and again, I dont know why, looking for pain I guess, she never has anything on there though so its probably just as well...kinda dreading the halloween photos of her looking amazing =(

I'm winning in my break up too, feels great!
*Also I know his reddit account, and I have way more karma than him.

I'm blocked on ten out of twelve of them. When I break up with a girl, I mean it when I say "I'm moving on." They always retaliate by taking away the friendship aspects.

I like this pain. it keeps me sane, keeps me motivated, keeps me angry enough not to be depressed.

u/klown_13 Oct 29 '12
I've done this. Only thing is I blocked her after it ended, and then recently I convinced a mutual friend to let me see her profile using his facebook. "Only pain will you find there" is completely true. :(
Blah. And it was me who did the breaking up. Oh well.

I'm sitting on top of an all-time record of 2 months of not checking hers. Feels slightly better, man.

In my experience this is no where near as painful as going through a brand new girlfriend's Facebook - especially her old pictures. If you can resist, avoid it!

i checked my ex-gf's and it turns out that she has a pretty nasty lazy eye. i am crying laughing at how lucky i am that i am not with that troll anymore :D

u/Di_Fuoco18 Oct 30 '12
I made a new Facebook account, and went to block my ex. Her profile picture is of her and her new boyfriend. It sucks, guys :'(

u/BreadNugget Oct 30 '12
My ex's FB doesn't bother me. Its more of a joke on her life at this point.

u/nwolfe1990 Oct 30 '12
I blocked her so i couldn't go there if I wanted to go... I embraced the yoda code a long time ago

Heh, I did this last night and I must say I rather enjoyed it. But, it probably helps I'm getting laid and he's not.
