I haven’t looked at the no-contact rule for quite a while – but I just saw this article posted on Love’s A Game, and had to share.  Do you have problems with checking up on your ex on Facebook?  I’ve written about no contact on Facebook before – block them, unfriend them, do whatever you need to do to get them off your newsfeed.  Otherwise you’ll end up with the same breakup experience as Laurie – no one needs to see photos of their ex leaning all over some hottie soon after their breakup. 

Love’s A Game goes one step further and shows you how to block your ex, and also be a computer geek and block yourself from being able to look at Facebook entirely – for the real addicts out there!

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!

No contact means no contact!

Today we will look at more advice about how to go no contact. You’ve followed the breakup tips and sorted out how to prepare your home for no contact with your ex, now you need to think about your ex and your habits.

You may not feel like this – in fact you may not feel like doing anything at all!  Enlist some help, get a girlfriend over to start the Ex-Purge off.

So what do you need to do, to prepare your habits for no contact?

1. Cut back to No Contact: that means only speak to (or even better, email) him about sorting out your property or if you have any, your kids.  I know he might have said “Call me,” during the break up speech, it doesn’t matter.
2. If you have to talk to him – keep it business-like.  Do not have ‘heavy’ conversations.  He is not that person in your life any more.
3. Remove him from your social networking sites and IM services.  Un-Facebook him.  Take him off your MySpace and Twitter accounts.  No contact means exactly that – no contact!  You do not need to see his status, whether his is online or any of his tweets.  You definitely do not need to see photos of him leaning all over some woman at a party.

Tomorrow I have a story about a friend who broke the no contact rule and didn’t take her ex off her Facebook page.  Subscribe here to the breakup bitch if you are interested in keeping updated.  Next week we’ll look at the no contact rule and your phone as well as stalking!
