The Dating Files: Facebook is the Devil

Is there nothing worse than seeing your exes happily dating someone else? I don't think so. Especially when you're not over them....Welcome to my Hot Friday night, bloggies.
"Why won't he call? I'm awesome!"

I feel like I have created a recipe for disaster. Take one Friday night, an oversized bar of chocolate, a marathon of my favorite weddings shows, and a facebook proclamation from an ex stating that he loves his new girlfriend. Mix it all together and there you have it. UGH! A pretty sad picture.

What do you think, guys? Should I block his Facebook profile or what? Do I spare myself the updates on his new love life? I mean, in all sincerity, I can't say that we are friends, especially since he stopped talking to me ever since he chose to date her over me. On the flip side, and this is so pathetically honest, in my mind I think, "but what if he tries to contact me one day in the future?" I know right? But this is how my mind works. I look at all of the "normal" people out there who can go from relationship to relationship and move on and be happy and blah blah blah, and I have to wonder what the heck is wrong with me? Why can't I do that? Why can't I find happiness elsewhere? Why is this one person so unshakable?

At what point do you give up on the dream that you and your ex will somehow have a happily ever after?
How do you truly move on (vs. distracting and deluding yourself) even when you don't want to?
When is the time to de-friend your ex on Facebook?

Ugh....I don't know guys. This is a tough one.  What do you think?

This made me laugh.

  1. I say, if it causes you pain to be reminded of him, hide his updates, or even remove him. If he ever does want to get in touch with you, and is sincere about it, he won't let not having you as a FB friend stop him.

  2. I totally agree with So Yeah So regarding contacting you. I'm pretty sure he knows your number by heart, and it's been the same since high school! Block him! I already told you how I feel abt FB RE exes - just TMI, TMI. Also, pray about it, I know it's cliche, and kind of like 'ugh - really?'- but pray abt it. Ask God to help you get past it, and be happy for him. Ultimately, if you're still holding on to him, it could potentially be a barrier for your future beau. Love you!
