I have a few ex friends and lovers who dumped me from their lives but forgot to drop me as a friend from Facebook. They won't take my calls or answer the door or reply to texts or emails, but they still keep me as Facebook friends.

I have two choices:

1) Post on their Facebook page and say something nasty for all their hundreds of friends to see which will mess with their reputation. Of course once they see the poison pen note on their Facebook page they will drop me as a friend and delete the post before more damage is done.

2) Just watch their life unfold on Facebook and live vicariously through their beautiful and perfect lives. It is my only way to see what they are doing.

Yes, both options don't make me look like anything but a complete nerd, but what can I say?

Some keep you on FB just to see what's going on in your live and to creep on anyone new in your life if you share status updates with people tagged.

If I wanted to see what my exes were up to, I'd go with #2.

Here is a novel idea...........

deactivate facebook, find a new hobby, move forward with your own life, seek therapy for all of this revenge you are thinking of.

You should read your words, perhaps it will give you a clue as to why you are the ex.

Option #3:
Grow up.

Looking at the two other threads you started, you're going to have a very hard time in life unless you can pull yourself together. I really think you would benefit greatly from therapy. Seriously.

If they are ex-friends that dumped you, why do you care what they are doing? Holding a grudge perhaps?

Contrary to current popular belief, people did manage to survive their daily lives, and be perfectly happy, before Facebook came along. Find something better to do than obsess about non-friends who care nothing about you.

Unfriend them. I wouldn't call them ex friends but several on Facebook were close friends as a child and later on we faded from each other's lives. We still like each other, just that our lives were different. A couple exboyfriends are Facebook friends as well. We liked each other just not enough to be friends.
