Difficult Facebook breakup
Breaking up is already difficult without all the damn social media we face for hours every day. So now, when it’s over with someone you spent years of your life having sex with and making breakfast for, how do you navigate your relationship with them online?
Facebook is a great place to catch up with old friends, make new friends and even play games, but what do you do when your ex is there and you just broke up?
Well, there are a few things you need to keep in mind:
Difficult Facebook breakup tips
1- Use those privacy setting
On Facebook, you have the option of controlling what people get to see, so you can block your ex from seeing certain things on your page and let them see other things that you find to be harmless, or perhaps beneficial.

2- Change your password
It’s probably a good idea to change all your passwords because there’s a good chance your ex knows some of them through sheer luck or because you thought you were going to spend your life with them and told them all of them in the name of trust and loyalty. Change them. All of them. Now.

3- Use it to look good
You don’t have to spend all your time checking to see if they have a new love in their life. Use Facebook to post up great new shots of yourself, get new friends, act like you plan to attend all the events you’re invited to. In essence, act like you’re doing great.

4- Don’t spend every waking moment there
If you spend every minute after your breakup on Facebook, that will make you a very sad person. Get out there, see actual people, make actual friends. It’s great that Facebook is there when you’re bored, but don’t let it become the center of your life.

This is a nice tip for those who have recently broken up. Especially for women. They have a tendency to be the ones depressed after a break up. These tips are good ways to help them escape the “bitter stage”.
Actually, when a relationship ends, the nice thing for guy to do is to *offer* to unfriend someone. As a guy, I know girls don’t want me lurking on their page while they consult with their friends on what went wrong, and it seems like the right thing to give them a little space and privacy, especially when their friends console them with “well, honey, he was no good in bed anyway, you said so yourself”. Better yet is to NOT friend anyone you’re dating in the first place, but sometimes people take that the absolutely wrong way so eh, there’s no way to win.
