As part of No Contact, should I completely unfriend/unfollow my ex or would that look too petty? I mean deleting them would be giving them what they wanted…a break-up, but I do not want that to hurt my long term chances to salvage what we have.
I unfollowed her on everything, but didnt unfriend on facebook. I think it’s perhaps too extreme, and also if you unfriend she won’t be able to see that you’re living life fine without her
Hey JM,
I’m not a professional or anything (and am also going into NC), but deleting/unfollowing your ex on social media does not really do anything much to NC. NC is pretty much you not initiating any contact with your ex at all while at the same time improving yourself as a person. If you delete her on social media (which is a powerful tool you can use to show her that you’re living life and are still able to be happy without him/her) it could show that you really had to make an effort to forget about them as well. Because I’m pretty sure that majority of the time while you are not contacting your ex, there will be a point in time during the NC where your ex will miss you and might even stalk your social media. I’m just basing my opinion on information I have found all over the internet. Keep in my that the NC period may take longer than 3 weeks, it varies depending on a lot of things such as how long you two were together, how the relationship was, and how bad the breakup was and how you reacted to it. Hopefully I was able to help you out a little bit. Good luck!
