Facebook

How many of you have FB? Do you think your ex checks it? I have FB but I always have posts about how I am so happy he is gone and how I am having the time of my life lol.
Wonder if it pisses him off. he told me on the last D&D before this one that if I really loved him I wouldn't date right away! What an idiot! His older daughter is on my friends list, and she tells daddy everything! I am 50 days NC and going strong, had amjor set back the other day , but feeling better now thanks to all of you!

geez I'm a FB idiot!

I was thinking that since I deleted him as a friend that he would not be able to see anything about me, since all my settings are "friends only". It just occurred to me that he could look thru mutual friends. oy I'm an idiot. Bye bye FB!!! BTW I LOVE this place...it has been a Godsend these past few months. Much thanks to Lisa and everyone on here!

I thought the same thing as you! Don't feel silly. It didn't occur to me either right away. Another thing, someone else here mentioned that if they are the ones that blocked YOU, that they can unblock you any ol time they feel like it(say in the middle of the night or whenever) and go looking at you. I wasn't sure either what the diff is between "blocking" and "unfriending"! It was all too complicated for me, so I thought it best to get off the whole shebang for a while until I get further along with healing. xx, Rose

great topic!!!

facebook is the PERFECT source of NS, and hell for the girlfriend/wife. Actually the 21st century caters to narcissists! between texting, email & free porn!! Sooo easy to be sneaky. Apple even made a Tiger Woods App that stores all your txts from mistresses in a hidden folder, so your wife can't find them. Its a narcissistic world, & we're all just living in it!!

My Narc used facebook as a

My Narc used facebook as a way to keep in touch with all of his other supplys...mostly ex's. He also used to talk bad about me and downplay our relationship. i used to go on his page and leave messages on his wall telling him that I loved him but he would just ignore it. But as soon as we had a fight he'd be on there running his mouth talking about me. My narc used facebook to humiliate me. We were married but i wasn't even friends with him but he was friends with every other girl. There were times we were friend on there but as soon as he was mad at me he would immediately delete me and block me. When I decided I was done with him he unblocked his facebook and also made his profile public. i always assumed he'd done this because he knew I would look at his page. Now I have blocked him. i try my hardest not to look at his page because he says things on there to get to me because he knows i will look at it.

FB to humiliate

Mine too. At first she used it to study me (so she could mirror me) and flirt with me, message me, etc. then after a minor disagreement she defriended me. Next the D&D...then she came back yet she still refused to "refriend" me. She bold face lied and said "I don't use FB that way and I am not friends with my GF (plural) on FB! We were in a relationship for two years and she never changed her status from single or acknowledged me in any way on FB. Yet a few weeks after I ended it she is flaunting the NS and had changed her profile picture to a picture of the two of them together. F***ing psycho Sorry this topic comes up often and always hits a nerve for me

FB and other Social Networks

Let's see... I deleted him and blocked him from FB - check! I removed him from Twitter and made my tweets private - check! I removed him from my friends friends only list on LiveJournal and now all he can do is stare at my pic but is unable to read my blog - check!!! Yeah just get rid of the mofo...no access all the way...

I deleted my FB account last year october. I didn't know the narc then. Good for me. FB just have too much personal infomation on it. I use to read my sons page and I would know when he and the gurlfriend were fighting.....lol I never want to attract a narc again. Hell, yall my eyes are so why open now

I do

I do Whattoexpect and congrats on 50 days NC. My personal thoughts but I find FB can be an N magnet. A useful tool for dealing with your ex LOL, but I find if you aren't strategic in how you use it you get mired down with other Ns ;>. Of course if you are careful it can help you monitor other potential N involvement in your life. Everyone feels differently about FB and I have finally learned just to keep very general or humorous statuses and use it most for what I love best. Keeping up with family that I don't get to see very often. Good luck with your continued NC ;>

Fakebook

is evil. Deleted my account. Don't miss it. Why give the N the privilege of knowing anything about your life?

I so agree with you. I disabled mine completely. BEST thing I ever did. EVER. I don't want that bastard to know ANYTHING about me. THAT would piss him off. He has been completely out of my life. I don't IM and don't keep those anymore either and only two emails addresses that I use, one for business and blogs the other for private emails. Sure has been peaceful. So he decides to call with an unavailable number. So what? I just don't answer. I'm not reacting to ANYTHING he might say or do. IGNORANCE IS TOTAL BLISS!

It isn't about them

It's about us and our healing. Too many are tempted to look at their ex and/or their friends FB's. You can always go back when you're healing. Frankly, since I got off of FB, I realized how addicted to it I was and the checking on the ex or finding out about him was so triggering it wasn't worth it anymore, a major impediment to my healing.

change everything

In my case, I was not strong enough to resist "peeking". And I still am not. The damage this did to me was far greater than any benefit I had from interactions with others on FB, which personally I feel are pretty shallow. I do understand your point, and respect it, but in my situation it was the right choice. I was probably leaning towards turning it off anyway...was spending too much time on there. The little time I have on line I think is better spent here.

getting off FB is taking back our control and dignity.

not the other way around. I can assure you. Disappearing from his world feels so empowering. Going total NC- including FB is waaaaaay more powerful than peeking, looking at his site, the OW's, posting " I am so happy messages" to get at him. Just disappearing....the power in this has really helped me get my dignity back.

I purposely leave mine open

I purposely leave mine open for anyone to view and I am sure he checks it. We are not FB friends so I can't check his, nor do I have any desire to because I might feel sorry for him as he doesn't really have any friends that are the least bit interested in his life. Let him read mine all he wants, I have nothing to hide.

Hey there my DLB friend N2K...

Shit no... :) Back on day one but feeling absolutely FABULOUS and ready to rock this thing. Had a huge moment of clarity yesterday, it's been 24 hours and I could give a hoot about what he is doing. The sun is shining, my beautful son is out playing with his friends and I feel a great change coming. I think I may have finally got it! :)

glad to hear my DLB buddy is

glad to hear my DLB buddy is doing good lol Clarity is always a good thing ya know! I'm still hanging in there with NC haven't heard a word from him , going on 7wks LOl My kids are keeping me busy, and the black cloud is gone, kids are actually back to being happy he is gone, thank God i never had kids with him! he is using his kids though , because when they are at their moms , he uses his older daughter to keep him company, one of my girlfriends seen him the other day (he never met her) she said he lost alot of weight and hasn't shaved, he is in his 50's and when men get older and lose weight they don't look so good . I think it makes them look older. But I am glad you are back to NC Keep it going,I will talk to you all night if I gotta !
