Banish? Stalk? Or Stay Friends?

I mentally ignore the person without physically blocking them. Less drama that way.

I prefer to leave them in my past and get on with life.

Depends on how it ended. If I did it because I lost interest, I probably won't do the unfriending stuff because it's not really worth it. If it was mutual and amicable, I'd keep him on my friends list because there's no reason to remove him, and what I love about facebook is that it connects me to people I would have forgotten about otherwise and often means that I can get something from them later .

If I did it because he wronged me, I still probably won't do the unfriending stuff because I'll want to check in on how miserable he is without me.

If he did it, unfriend, totally. My ego can't take that hit and I don't want to see pictures of him and his new girl.

It depends on the situation. If it's a particularly nasty break up and I never even want to see a picture of his face again, I would just unfriend him and not care. If it's just a regular break up, though, I would probably keep him as a friend and maybe do a little stalking every once in a while.

I laughed at the "Who follows their boyfriend on twitter anyway" My boyfriend was the reason I joined twitter. He got me hooked. I kept following him about two months after we broke up. Unfollowed him when he started tweeting about fucking his roommate. About a month later he unfollowed me. I suspect it was because I was tweeting about World of Warcraft. I basically have no connection to him now, haven't spoken to him in about 6 months. I still use twitter regularly, though. So I have him to thank for that (well, also my love of lady gaga)

i never use my real name or anything. don't want to be found by anyone. unfortunately with some breakups you have to start everything over and change everything. (don't forget the visa card too) its crazy how many things that have to be changed online, it was a process. and seemed like i'd keep thinking of new things that needed changed.

and important to change privacy settings, make sure you can't be found on social sites by searching email address, etc. thought about writing a pamphlet for battered womens shelter for online to do list after finding freedom.

to be as honest as possible i'm not sure what i'll answer.

my worst break up was just that, the worst. i did all the wrong things. i stalked the FUDGE out of him... he stopped talking to me. then we kept not talking and ignoring each other and blocked each other and whatnot for like... 6 months? it was really bad. i was really torn up about it. so much so that it negatively impacted me well into the first 6 months of my current relationship. Quite frankly i'm not sure i can say i got over him until my partner and i settled into a relationship that has been the best thing to ever happen to me. But after a year or so after the breakup i got a message asking how i was, and we've been able to be friends since. we don't hang out or talk often, but it's nice to still keep in touch.

on the other hand, the relationship i was briefly in BEFORE that wasn't so bad. the breakup was of course sucky but i just stopped talking to him. and it worked.

so i don't know if i can answer. i'm not even sure i can be of any help giving advice lol. i get emotionally wrecked by things like that verrrry easily so. perhaps i shouldn't try to input anything helpful rofl!

Lol to the "He's a dick report him as spam!" Ha Ha. I have no idea what I'd do. My partner doesn't do the whole internet thing and if we broke up, I'd probably mention it to my close friends, but probably would either leave him on my friend's list just so he didn't think I was too upset, but then again it depends on why we break up. If it was a bad breakup, I would probably ignore him and possibly delete him.

My first guy I tried staying friends with on there after we broke up. But then he kept sending dramatic messages so I unfriended him. I don't spread the word everywhere, though.

I don't have any problem blocking someone, but I'm not actually on any social networking sites. I've had to change my phone number and block email addresses in the past due to some stalking - so I have absolutely NO problem blocking someone. If they get mad then maybe that should be a lesson to them in how to treat a friend/girlfriend.

I would just unfriend the person, who cares what anyone else thinks of it.

if its done then its done

I try to forget them. If I can't, let's just be friends then.

It really depends on the boy and the break-up. I prefer to remain friends, but if I end up in a happy relationship before they do I try to be considerate and filter what I say about that online.

If he/she was a jerk, however, I will not hesitate to ban or block a person. If my friends want to create drama over it that's their issue, not mine.

It really depends on how bad it was. I could do everything from maturely staying friends with them and never saying a bad thing about them, or, I could be psychotically vengeful and stalkerish, or I could just block them. I try to do the first though.

I told the necessary people that we broke up and gradually unfriended his family and friends who I will never talk to again. And I tried hard to remain friends with him but I'd moved on and he hadn't, so it was too hard for him and we never talk anymore. Breakups after long relationships are almost always messy.
