So I've dated someone years ago. Things didn't work with us. I tried to rekindle what we had. He said he didn't want to. Meanwhile, he and I were still friends on Facebook. He seemed to be doing his own thing, and I was doing my own thing up until recently, I am guessing he caught wind that I have finally moved on. Two years mind you, after we broke up... Has anyone ever experienced this and if so, what does it mean? Why say you don't want someone, yet when they finally move on, they delete you when all this time you two agreed to be friends?

Probably really wasn't interested in being friends in the first place. Or he felt weird about it and didn't know how to tell you nicely. Could be a multitude of reasons. People distance themselves all the time. I doubt he's upset or "hurt" that you found someone else.

Does the "why" really matter though? You have someone else now.

True. Maybe he was doing one of those social media purges. If you two hardly ever communicate anyway, why not unfriend?

Why not? It's time to move on. And why do you care? Were you two really friends apart from being listeed on FB as a "friend"?


Could be a number of reasons why. Maybe he wanted to before but didn't want to hurt your feelings and now figures you have someone else so you won't care. Maybe he kept you around in case he changed his mind and now that's not an option for him as he doesn't mess with those in a relationship? Maybe he doesn't want the potential drama of being the ex that's still connected, in case your new partner has issues with it? Ultimately, it doesn't matter why.

I know you want to think he is still hung up on you, but the truth is probably that he deleted you because you have no role in his life anymore and he was cleaning up his feed.

How would your boyfriend feel about you still regularly visiting his page to see if you are still connected? That does seem sketchy.

Ever heard the saying “He doesn’t want you, but he doesn’t want anyone else to have you either”?

A lot of guys get/have a crush on a girl and enjoy just watching her online like a voyeur. Now you’ve got a bf and killed his little spank bank source.

I didn't go visiting his page. His name popped up in the suggested friends section and I was just shocked he deleted me after all of this time.

I ended a relationship with a woman who was really nice. We had different goals, etc. She took it really hard and kept calling me for months afterward. I wanted her to be okay, so I always picked up, gave her time to talk through things. Eventually, she stopped calling; I hope she found someone.

Maybe, he wanted to give you time to come to peace with it. When it was time, he severed the last tie.
