Facebook is EVIL. When I split with the ex I deleted him and the people most likely to have him on their newsfeeds. That meant a culling of most of his friends. Seeing photos of him would set me off crying for hours. It was horrible.

I didn't delete any photos on my facebook because I didn't want to give him the benefit of knowing how much it hurt. I left them there. They don't bother me now - just a part of history I'd rather forget.

Mangocheeks is right about time healing. I was a bit skeptical myself at the time, but now, after chatting to the ex last night and realising what a lucky escape I had, I can tell you it is absolutely true, and you WILL pass this horrible, horrible phase.

LOVE.

That was a lot of years to wipe out in 3 hours, but the real memories are those that are still with you - they will fade and be replaced with something greater and better. It will just take time and time means patience. I bid you well.

It's amazing that someone can still have a hold on you even after so much time has passed... I certainly believe break-ups/divorce would have been a whole lot easier before facebook :)!

It's been 9 years since my divorce and occasionally I look up my ex on FB- just to see. And I always get so emotional and agitated. Most of the time though, I don't think of him at all.

Good for you for digitally deleting him.
