I mentally ignore the person without physically blocking them. Less drama that way.
Banish? Stalk? Or Stay Friends?

I prefer to leave them in my past and get on with life.

Depends on how it ended. If I did it because I lost interest, I probably won't do the unfriending stuff because it's not really worth it. If it was mutual and amicable, I'd keep him on my friends list because there's no reason to remove him, and what I love about facebook is that it connects me to people I would have forgotten about otherwise and often means that I can get something from them later .
If I did it because he wronged me, I still probably won't do the unfriending stuff because I'll want to check in on how miserable he is without me.
If he did it, unfriend, totally. My ego can't take that hit and I don't want to see pictures of him and his new girl.

It depends on the situation. If it's a particularly nasty break up and I never even want to see a picture of his face again, I would just unfriend him and not care. If it's just a regular break up, though, I would probably keep him as a friend and maybe do a little stalking every once in a while.

I laughed at the "Who follows their boyfriend on twitter anyway" My boyfriend was the reason I joined twitter. He got me hooked. I kept following him about two months after we broke up. Unfollowed him when he started tweeting about fucking his roommate. About a month later he unfollowed me. I suspect it was because I was tweeting about World of Warcraft. I basically have no connection to him now, haven't spoken to him in about 6 months. I still use twitter regularly, though. So I have him to thank for that (well, also my love of lady gaga)

i never use my real name or anything. don't want to be found by anyone. unfortunately with some breakups you have to start everything over and change everything. (don't forget the visa card too) its crazy how many things that have to be changed online, it was a process. and seemed like i'd keep thinking of new things that needed changed.
and important to change privacy settings, make sure you can't be found on social sites by searching email address, etc. thought about writing a pamphlet for battered womens shelter for online to do list after finding freedom.

That would actually be a great idea. A lot of people don't remember to cover all their online bases if they don't want to be found and it would work well for those who just want to make sure they have their privacy settings exactly where they want them as well. A checklist and instructions would help out a lot of people.

to be as honest as possible i'm not sure what i'll answer.
my worst break up was just that, the worst. i did all the wrong things. i stalked the FUDGE out of him... he stopped talking to me. then we kept not talking and ignoring each other and blocked each other and whatnot for like... 6 months? it was really bad. i was really torn up about it. so much so that it negatively impacted me well into the first 6 months of my current relationship. Quite frankly i'm not sure i can say i got over him until my partner and i settled into a relationship that has been the best thing to ever happen to me. But after a year or so after the breakup i got a message asking how i was, and we've been able to be friends since. we don't hang out or talk often, but it's nice to still keep in touch.
on the other hand, the relationship i was briefly in BEFORE that wasn't so bad. the breakup was of course sucky but i just stopped talking to him. and it worked.
so i don't know if i can answer. i'm not even sure i can be of any help giving advice lol. i get emotionally wrecked by things like that verrrry easily so. perhaps i shouldn't try to input anything helpful rofl!

Lol to the "He's a dick report him as spam!" Ha Ha. I have no idea what I'd do. My partner doesn't do the whole internet thing and if we broke up, I'd probably mention it to my close friends, but probably would either leave him on my friend's list just so he didn't think I was too upset, but then again it depends on why we break up. If it was a bad breakup, I would probably ignore him and possibly delete him.
04/16/2011
My first guy I tried staying friends with on there after we broke up. But then he kept sending dramatic messages so I unfriended him. I don't spread the word everywhere, though.
04/16/2011
I don't have any problem blocking someone, but I'm not actually on any social networking sites. I've had to change my phone number and block email addresses in the past due to some stalking - so I have absolutely NO problem blocking someone. If they get mad then maybe that should be a lesson to them in how to treat a friend/girlfriend.

Even better is that she writes in the most error-ridden illiterate fashion (like, srsly, so badly written). Ugh. People are fucked sometimes! Let's just say that I have fucking patience - because that shit makes me want to fight a bitch.This kinda spawned a crazy idea for me though - a one-off zine (printed, xerox style or whatever) of stalkery letters and batshit blogs that exes have written - anyone can submit their stalker ex artifacts (with some kind of intro or something) and it would be a compilation zine of funny stories and crazy exes called "Things not to do when you're dumped".Anyway - if you think the idea is interesting, let me know bc, hey, I might just do it now.

What the hell do you do when you break up with someone? Or even decide you don't really like someone you "friended". It's not like you can just stop talking to them and they (mostly) cease to exist in your world. It's all interconnected. Even if I unfollow JohnnyBoogerPicker on Twitter (or MySpace or Yahoo or whatever), I'm still going to have to deal with his friends DustyAssWiper and PinkyPeeSniffer or else I end up unfollowing half my friends list.

Now, I keep him on my list but I then create a fake profile to harass him with, or to flirt with him in order to get the juicy details about his relationship with me. If he says bad things about me then I'll write blogs about him describing his small penis or post his phone number on craigslist asking to suck dicks for free. Also, if he starts dating someone new I will create a fake profile as an unidentified female and email her about how he impregnated another girl and is refusing to pay child support or how he goes to the Meth clinic every Tuesday morning for his fix. If he however, says nice things about me, then I'll just ignore him and move on.
This is how the Universe works for psychotic women and men need to start learnin' some respect, for sho! less

It really depends on the boy and the break-up. I prefer to remain friends, but if I end up in a happy relationship before they do I try to be considerate and filter what I say about that online.
If he/she was a jerk, however, I will not hesitate to ban or block a person. If my friends want to create drama over it that's their issue, not mine.

It really depends on how bad it was. I could do everything from maturely staying friends with them and never saying a bad thing about them, or, I could be psychotically vengeful and stalkerish, or I could just block them. I try to do the first though.

I told the necessary people that we broke up and gradually unfriended his family and friends who I will never talk to again. And I tried hard to remain friends with him but I'd moved on and he hadn't, so it was too hard for him and we never talk anymore. Breakups after long relationships are almost always messy.
06/04/2013
I stay friends if it is reasonable. If that is not an option, I delete him. The only time I've had to go to unreasonable lengths about breaking up with someone was when my ex became abusive. The ones who believed me stayed friends, the ones who didn't? Good riddance.
