Eddie37 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 completed day 2, which was hard considering i was home most of the day & on the computer, but i did it! Good job. I'm right there with ya. I hope everyone else is staying disciplined and not looking at the ex's fb page. I know it's hard....but just DON'T VISIT THEIR PAGE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotsguy Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I have come to the conclusion that I hate facebook too. I mean it's great if you use it how it is intended. But it has caused me a lot of hurt during my breakup. I've unfriended my ex and both our profiles are private now, but I can still see her profile pic - her and her rebound on holiday together. I'm doing the 30 day NC challenge just now and I'm including facebook-snooping in that. Another thing is that a girl I have as a friend on facebook I think has a thing for me. She likes and comments on any status update I put, any pictures I post. And honestly I'm not interested. It's really putting me off using FB because I know she will respond. Basically I hate facebook for old and new relationships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bart Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 Congrats bart. I KNOW how hard it was to do it. But like I said, you will get to that point, that we discussed. Slowly but surley. Haha, thank you HP, you were such a good listener & helper to me. Hope you're still doing well! Good job. I'm right there with ya. I hope everyone else is staying disciplined and not looking at the ex's fb page. I know it's hard....but just DON'T VISIT THEIR PAGE. And thanks Eddie!

But I definitely agree that all FB does is cause hurt during a break up, so including it in the NC challenge is a good thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bart Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 I de-activated mine yesterday.... i'm going to stay off Facebook at least a month.

FB is so weird anyways - Using it the past couple of months, I get all these 'updates' on peoples lives that I could really care less about.. and then from my postings, people were finding out details about me that for the most part, I don't want people to know. Anyways, my account has been de-activated for 1 day now. Should be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell_On_Heels Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I have had mine blocked for a few months now, but I was still hearing updates from friends. Haven't heard anything since I posted on this thread saying I'd try to put a stop to that. Don't know how many days it's been, but feeling fine to not know anything about him.

Philpo82 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I made 7 days on Monday, have removed her and her friends from my news feed but then I checked the 'photos' section to see an overview of everyones photos and she had been tagged in some! MISTAKE! Back to square one. I instantly took my mind off it though to not let it get me down. The image is still scared on my memory though Don't look at the photos section people!!

bart Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 Yay! I seriously used to check it multiple times per day, but so far I've lasted a little over a week without checking. If you don't check it, you'll have less things to over analyze about and you will feel better..I promise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlegirlblue Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 i know. The last time we split up i looked at it well over 10 times a day. I even knew he didn't have internet access at the time but i still looked! Why does the advances in technology make it worse to get over your ex? lol...waiting for texts, emails, looking a FB pages...i hate technology! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One trick that I use that kind of helps me is pretending that he has a tracker on his FB. Like something that will tell him how many times I've visited it. Hahah, I don't think he does..or if that even exists, but sometimes it helps me to think he does, because I don't want him thinking I'm a stalker. You could try it if you get the urge to check, it might help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlegirlblue Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 hehe that's a good idea! I might try that if i get weak again. I think i had the strength not to look at his FB page as when he'd told me he'd been talking to some girl online in Edinburgh who really liked him I asked if it was her as i'd noticed he added her a few weeks back. He called me very sad and creepy for looking at his page so i stopped. I think i just had to see what this girl was like...curiosity got the better of me and now i'm paying for it by being upset. I showed it to my male friends at work who said she wasn't a patch on me look wise but then would they really tell me if she was? lol...curiosity is over...i won't be looking at it again.
