Another FB thread,

Just wondering if you "unfriend" with your ex after a breakup.

A friend of mine did that. Not only they became "single,", but also her ex was removed from her friend list. So clean breakup.

Yet, they got back again though...

Do you mean they got back together again, as a couple? Or they got back on each other's FB friends list?

Facebook is really stupid.

actually- it's not Facebook that's stupid, it's the importance and significance people place on it. who gives a carp about the minutiae of people's lives? who's a friend or not online, when you don't even know who this person is?? it's all so stupid.

I pretty much agree with you scarlett, but we are old, in Facebook terms.

My FB use is generally limited to finding old friends I've lost touch with, keeping in touch with family and old friends (seeing their latest photos of their kids dance recitals, hockey games, etc.) and goofing around with my online friends from CSC that have grown tired of eHA and moved onto the FB games zone. I think the serious social networking and nitpicking is very silly, and I cringe when I see someone posting here about the latest turmoil in their relationship because a FB friend made some comment on their SO's page that made them uncomfortable. There is way too much importance placed on FB interactions by some people.

Eh, I just wish FB would stop suggesting I friend the ex-husband. Um, no.

I use it only to keep up with my children and a very few friends, and only check it a couple of times a week. The game stuff is driving me nuts, though, and I may have to block some of my old friends because of it. I don't care if you bought a cow or baked sixteen cupcakes!

As someone who's very much part of the "facebook crowd" (hey it was brand new when I started college so we were hooked from the get-go!), I know a lot of folks place great significance on unfriending someone. I've only ever done it a few times but never for an exboyfriend.

I did "hide" my ex from my news feed, I no longer see updates from him, which helped me move on when we broke up.

When I graduated college, I had about 900 facebook friends so I went through and did a big purge of the people who were added when it was new and everyone friended everyone they ever met.

In reply to scarlet's post, I think this is why it was a somewhat bad idea to open facebook up to everyone. It was created for college kids to keep in touch with their classmates DURING COLLEGE. Now that everyone and their grandma is on it, the older generations (sorry guys!) are trying to use a tool created for kids. It's no wonder it causes problems for people who didn't grow up with social networking. Or that these people don't understand why it means something to the younger crowd.

FB is kind of an interesting social phenomenon. Perhaps people are drawn to it in a world that can be very alienating -- too many people, a lot of flux and change and mobility, lack of longterm rooted friendships and community, etc.

I've never even looked at it. But if I were 20-something I probably would be into it.
