I have a friend, Laurie, who broke the no contact Facebook rule and kept her ex on her Facebook account.
‘After he broke up with me, I was super-mature,’ she said. ‘ I sent a closure email saying that it was sad that it finished that way, but all the best to him. I wrote that I knew he’d do well. I also told him that I was relocating to New York! I said that we both wanted different things and that I was really upset right now, but I understood that we want different things, it was a shame, but that was the way it is.’
She walked away with the high ground but unfortunately she didn’t hold out because she kept him on her Facebook page.
‘He kept leaving messages about missing me – I thought: you miss me, and…? So what? I guess he felt guilty. Then he had some Facebook banter with some girl, you know the kind of thing, leaving cute messages on each other’s wall. I went ballistic! So I sent him a nasty email saying how could you be so rude? Doing it in public in front of my face after we’ve just broken up!’
She had the high-ground, she had finished with him with poise and style, but the Facebook comments were just too much for her to handle. Be kind to yourself after breaking up – unfriend him from Facebook. Remove him from your Twitter contacts. Get rid of him in your computer!
