Who needs Facebook when you've got binoculars and strategically placed bushes.

Spurned lovers tend to stalk their former flames online as well as offline, more at 11.

brap: This is actually an interesting issue to me. How does one "drop" an ex on Facebook without seeming petty? Many days I wish I'd never signed up for the fooking thing.

It was bad enough when I changed my relationship status on Facebook and it broadcast it to everyone and their mother.

"So sorry to hear about your breakup." and that sort of thing. GOT DAMMIT SO MUCH!

it's kinda easy since they don't get notified that you dropped them. they just stop seeing your updates.

Golly gee. Wonder why any guy would want to drop Jade Harper as a friend?

You drop them quietly while people are still flipping out about the status change.

Heaven help you if you decide to deactivate or delete.

And that's why I don't use Facebook... I don't want my ex to know how pitiful my life is now.

/so lonely

Oh, good fsm hell no....................

I got in a big argument with my mom after I found out one day she was doing this with my ex-wife's fb page. Pretty much summed it up as "I paid a lot of money to get that psycho out of my life and she put me and you/dad through hell, and you're re-engaging her? WTF?"

Seeing as the last time the ex saw my dad (retired preacher) she called him a "dirty motherfarker", he wasnt too happy either

/no facebook here, I'd die first. ugh

"Go to sleeeeeeeeeep..."

Seriously though, who is that crazy-lookin' lady?

Article is pure fiction. Plausible fiction.

What? I never have to say I'm sorry? I didn't get that memo. Now what am I supposed to say when he catches me after I've popped up from behind the couch and hit him with a devastating marshmallow gun assault?

I regret nothing!!!

That's the whole purpose of the internet, right?

"Would you like a bj?" is a great starter...

Wow, glad I only have one ex and am happily married.

Four years. FOUR years.
I have gone through 2 messy divorces.
It takes an ex wife 4 years to get over it and leave you the fark alone.
This is so, even if she dumped you, instead of you dumping her. It is just the nature of that gender.
Men-when he is finished with you, he is finished with you.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this might actually be a healthy way to deal with a breakup. As long as it's strictly limited to Facebook and never extends into physical reality. I'd also hope that it was something a woman would do just as an occasional curiosity, say once or twice a year, not as a full-time obsession.

How'd you drop them from your life? It's kind of like that, but way, way easier.

Does anyone really believe these people actually exist?

My recent EX sent me a text about a post on facebook. Then I called her out about a post on a different website talking about good makeout sessions, and that I didn't bother to text her what that meant (even though obviously she was sucking face with another guy). Then she calls me crying, saying she doesn't want me to hate her, that she wants what we used to be or that we want to be friends. Fat chance, I farking did everything for her and now she's having second thoughts about breaking up with me. You're not my problem anymore, get your shiat together then MAYBE we'll talk.

No, but publishing deadlines do.

I have a co-worker who still reads her ex-BFs e-mail ~3 years after the breakup, so, yes, yes I do believe that people like this exist.

R.A.Danny: Unfriend and block. Your mental health will thank you.

This. I've never understood the need to keep an ex around. I could see if the break-up was mutual or had some uncontrollable circumstance, but I've never understood the mentality otherwise.
I've denied every ex who has ever tried to add me.

The only reason I've seen to keep contact with an ex is the occasional back-slide hookup...

Come back to Fark after you get back together and tell us how that worked out. A dog going back......that's how I look at it.

Am I the only female that doesn't stalk on FB?

And look at the crazy nutcases FTFA! They're all HAPPY they're stalking psychos!

I don't have a Facebook account. Never will. Part of me is worried I'd be too interested in people I have no reason to interact with anymore. Part of me is worried that no one would feel that way about me. Also, I have an active real-life social life. So I've got that going for me. Which is nice.

Change your number and block her, you'll feel better.

I did that when I was in my 20's but it really was never worth it. Then again, I dated a lot of rabid crazies.

You'll be back dealing with it soon enough.

no one in my family uses facebook, and that is how it should be.

JohnnyCanuck: You'll be back dealing with it soon enough.

Because the poosay is strong, it is.

I recently found out that my 10-year high school reunion happened and was arranged entirely through Facebook. I did not feel left out.

After two weeks of no contact with her ex and no knowledge of what he was up to, Mary caved in and called her sister to see if she could use her account to check up on her ex.

She says: "The break-up was my idea but I was still desperate to be able to see what he was up to and what girls he was talking to.

"I'm close to my sister, Claire, and when she told me they were still friends I was relieved that I had a way to check up on him.

Wow... a whole two weeks and your frakn idea to boot. This man is GLAD you're out of his life and "moving on" or whatever BS you're feeding yourself to justify this behavour.

HotIgneous Intruder: JohnnyCanuck: You'll be back dealing with it soon enough.

Because the poosay is strong, it is.

And it's tricksy and false!

Two16: The break-up was my idea

"The break-up was my idea"

If you do it right, they never know it wasn't their idea at all.

I've gone on a few first dates with girls like this. First date with a new guy, and the only thing they could talk about was their ex.

timujin: My girlfriend asked about my ex-wife the other day, if I knew how she was doing. I hadn't talked to the ex in a couple of years, so I had no idea. I looked her up on Facebook, though, (so I guess that makes me one of these stalkers) and it looks like she's left the guy with whom she was cheating on me for the guy with whom she was cheating on him... so pretty much the same as ever.

I'm not dating your ex-wife.
