Facebook, My ex, Social Media and Love: Rubbing it in

Rubbing it in

By lmiller - 24/01/2010 03:29 - United States

Today, when I logged onto Facebook, I discovered a friend request from my ex who broke up with me and deleted me months ago. Upon adding her, I was taken to her profile where I saw dozens of status updates talking about how much she loves her new boyfriend, who she dumped me for. FML

Today, on her Facebook profile, my ex erased all the pictures where we were together, added her new boyfriend to her friends, and changed her status to, "I'm so happy". FML

Today, looking on the internet, I came across my ex's Facebook page. Most of the posts were about me, and his profile picture was still of me and him. We broke up over a year ago. FML

Today, I logged on to Facebook to find that my boyfriend's relationship status had changed to in a relationship with his ex. I asked him about it, and all he said was, "I guess I forgot to break up with you." FML

Love in the time of Facebook

By StillAlone - 23/10/2022 06:00

Today, I noticed my ex had unblocked me on Facebook. Since I still miss her and haven't been able to find love since our breakup, I sent her a friend request, thinking maybe she was leaving the door open for me, and we could reconcile. Apparently I was wrong because she promptly blocked me again. FML

Today, Facebook sent me a new friend suggestion. I opened it only to see that the person suggested was the home wrecker that broke up my marriage 4 years ago. Her cover picture is her and my ex together, along with a group of people that I used to be friends with. FML

Memories that hurt

By ruinedmoment - 24/02/2011 06:20 - United States

Today, I was looking at an old post between my ex and me on Facebook. Everything I was reading was adorable. Just as I was reminiscing about the great relationship we had, I look to the right of the screen to see the girl he cheated on me with in "People you may know." Thanks Facebook. FML

Today, I logged onto facebook, and saw that one of my friends had just listed herself as in a relationship. I was happy for her, so I clicked the "like" button. Then I went to her page to see who her new boyfriend was. It was my boyfriend. FML

Today, I logged onto Facebook and saw that I had a message from my ex boyfriend. It's only been two weeks since we broke up and I assumed he sent me a message begging for me to take him back. He wanted to apologize for sleeping with my sister last night. FML

took a year to finally get my ex to stop trying to add me on myspace. her reason for the add? " I'm engaged it's not like I want you back." uhM... I never said anything about getting with you. I just hate you is all so stop sending friend requests

"My ex" by itself is sufficient to indicate THEY broke up. Adding "I broke up with" clearly means "HE broke up with HER, hence the initial confusion. Geez, I can't believe I'm explaining this to an FML staff.

You don't seem to have read Alan's post correctly. If I said "I broke up with my girlfriend", it MAY mean I did the dumping, but then again it could easily mean SHE did instead. But granted, it was ambiguous.

"my ex who broke up with me and deleted me months ago"..... "new boyfriend who she had dumped me for"

Well, what did you expect? All her status updates to about how she misses you and how much she wish she never let you go?

^ If you just wanted to inform someone about the break up without indicating the dumper/dumpee, wouldn't you just say "we broke up"? I have a hard time understanding your POV because to me, saying "I broke up with her" is equivalent to "I dumped her". Is this a to-may-toe to-mah-toe thing?

You have a good point; I was just saying a lot of people would say "I broke up with her" instead. It wouldn't be grammatically correct to say "we broke up" in the FML without completely rewriting the first half. Still, it's fixed now, so it's all good ;)
