Hide or delete DB on FB?

belle204

I can't decide. Obviously this allows him to keep up with dd and if I hide him then he can still do that. But part of me just wants to delete him. His update that he's "with his new boo" just hit a nerve. I hate him. I don't know why it made me feel even worse about being single and amplified my feeling lonely. Hiding would be the rational thing, right?

I hid X. I want him to have access to the pictures of her but I don't give a flying fvck what he's doing on a daily basis. I won't delete him because I don't post anything on there I wouldn't him him to see anyway, and I don't really want to deal with the potential drama.

Can I ask how you hide someone on FB? I have been trying to do that but cant figure it out.

 

I would hide because if you delete him, he would know.  Hiding would prevent me from posting things I wouldn't want him to see or regret.

Yeah, I'll just hide him. It would be childish to delete him. You go to the bottom of your home page (w/the newsfeeds) and click "edit options" and you can type the name of the person you want to hide.

you can also make him under a 'limited profile' meaning he can only see parts of your profile (such as pictures only)

Well, DB was childish and deleted me almost immediately after we parted ways, so I took the liberty of blocking him.  I know he can't see any pictures or anything (although I'm still pregnant) but it's his loss....he deleted me and really he doesn't need to know what's going on in my life.  I don't have anything to hide but I'm just moving on.

My ex created a new one once he moved out. I blocked that as soon as I saw it on my "recommended friends" list.

I am not friends with XH on FB, and he's rarely on there anyways since he doesn't have a computer-just goes on from his phone I believe.

Anyways, I think it's healthier (for our situation) for us NOT to be friends.  I am still friends with his fam and I don't post anything I wouldn't be comfortable with anyone seeing but I just don't want to deal with him at all. 

In your situation I would probably delete him.  Is there any other way you can send him updated pics of the kiddos or would that just be a pain?  I was thinking maybe doing a shutterfly slideshow and emailing it to him or something to this effect.

I would just delete him and be done w it.  That way 1. I wouldn't be tempted to FB stalk him and his " boo" on some random lonely night and 2. vice versa.  You can always email him pics of her, but really, he probably takes his own pics.  You'll never be together as a couple again, so why not start seperating everything now? If he questions you, just say no offense, but we really are not friends.  Its healthier this way, IMO.

I agree with this.

 my ex deleted me as well, but he kept trying to contact me via phone and I would answer. He's finally leaving me alone. I don't think my life is any of my business anymore, after the things he said to me, he doesn't really deserve to be a part of my or this child's life.

He also asked me the other night when he was driving me home from our last counseling session whether or not I was still friends with his friends,  and whether I was friends with his mom and his ex-wife.  He acted all offended that I blocked him.  Boohoo....I suppose if he really cared then he shouldn't have deleted me.  I do agree with other posters though that it's just better not to be friends.
