I'm either considered an old millennial or a baby X'er. But i Still have my exes on fb, no there's no feelings, yes i still occasionally stalk them, I'm not ashamed, some of them are train wrecks i can vicariously live through them as i plod along with my average life.
She blocked me on Facebook, then tried to add me back a few days later, which I denied her of. I wouldn't mind being Facebook friends with her, but I don't wanna have to see her pop up in my feed with her new guy every day. At least not right now. Wounds are still too fresh. Maybe we can add each other back in the future and be civil, but I don't wanna be her friend or hang out with her or really talk to her at all.
My first long term girlfriend, I would love to be friends with her on Facebook, but she doesn't use it. I'd love to have more of a relationship with her, but it doesn't seem like she wants to. It's understandable and no hard feelings there.
Aren't your posts opinions, too?
I say useless and creepy because sometimes people use it as a little connection to keep somebody in their life when maybe they should be moving on. I'm just talking about my own observations.
I've run into an ex years later only to have him slip something into the conversation that made me think he was keeping tabs on me, and it felt kind of creepy, my opinion. If you want to know how I'm doing-- reach out
or communicate.
In agree wholeheartedly. My experience as well.
Unless the relationship was uniquely special in some way there's no upside in my view.

Ah man, I'm sorry it didn't work out. You can friend and unfollow. I do that a fair amount, but I hear you.
I don't know many people that post things about love interests though. It has been years since I've been tagged or tagged others like that. Most people I know keep their romantic relationships off FB.

That's what I was thinking, too. I know a few people who post about their relationships, but I don't, and my exes don't, so that "seeing them with new people" thing hasn't been an issue.
With the one guy I still occasionally kinda-sorta miss, I know if he were posting pics of himself with women, I'd have unfriended and blocked him a while back. But I can admit, it's plain and simple because I wasn't ready for that to be over when he was, and I felt salty about it. Seeing him with new women...I'd probably be making comparisons and feeling all whiny and nobody needs that.
Now if my ex husband had been doing that sort of thing, I'd have been very about it, I'd be thinking "Great, I hope you two are a better match than we were, maybe now you can quit obsessively post-mortem dissecting our marriage and divorce, and move the heck on already." Unfortunately instead he tended to post constant gun-nut and conspiracy crap which is SO not my thing...which is why I finally unfriended and blocked him.
I had one follow me for a while until she found out I was liking her sister's pics.

load of mutual friends?
