If an ex untags himself from almost all of your photos from your entire relationship (several years), is that a really bad sign? Has anyone had that happened and still reconciled with the ex?
P.S. He untagged almost seven WEEKS afterwards. Why now? Why not right away? And why not just delete me from Facebook rather than put in the effort to untag each photo manually?
If it has been 7 weeks it is pretty dangerous territory. Are you looking to get back with him? Or just trying to understand why he would do that?
sorry just read your previous post, Honestly. I broke up recently with my best friend and i did the same thing. We went through a lot, ill save the story for now. But our goal was to be together and timing was always bad. We was friends through multiple relationships and it caused a lot of hurt between us that by time we got together it was so much damaged history that it couldn’t work.
So to now, post break up. My ex before my best friend who i was in love with and my best friend never got over really was tagged in my photos, we still had photos up, on my page. I deleted every picture of her, even fond memories and great pictures, untagged anything from our mutual friends that had to do with her and the whole nine yards, and this is like maybe 6 months after we broke up which was in march officially.
Im giving you my mentality so you may understand his. I did it because the girl i was dating knew of my past relationship, and details about it. Caused my new relationship with her to fail, in turn my unhappiness holding on to the past. So now that we have broken up, I’ve deleted all the history of my ex and our mutual friends in order to have a clean slate for the future, be seen as “ME” and not have that as part of my history, so he is more than likely doing the same thing. Especially if this girl knows about you, having you showing up on his stuff won’t fair well with anybody he is attempting to see.
Hi, Alicia. I’m sorry to hear about your break up. Yeah, untagging the photos isn’t a great sign - it means he’s accepted (or in the process of) accepting the end of the relationship. It doesn’t necessarily mean he’s “over” you (look at how many people on this site untag or take down photos of their exes in fits of rage or pain), but it does mean that he is trying to be.
Anyway, it’s facebook. It’s just a site. Photos get untagged, photos get re-tagged. If you want him back, try following the program and see what happens…
I definitely want him back and have been following the program. My NC period just ended and I was going to reach out, and then I discovered the untagging. Can I still reach out??
Looking to get back with him, for sure!
My ex recently broke things off with me and I can tell you from my point of view that I did the same thing. I deleted and untagged tons and tons and pictures of she and I. My hope was that she would see this, realize I wasn’t always going to be just waiting around for her to realize how great I treated her, and then my hope was she would come back to me. I’m still madly in love with her and only deleted them because I was so hurt and upset. Your circumstances are a little different, but he could be making an attempt to salvage anything he and the girl have. But also, it doesn’t necessarily mean he’s forgotten you. Hope this helped a little and stay positive!
Thank you for sharing your story! I’m trying to stay positive. I hope I can get him back.
Hi Alicia59, I have five brothers who are active on facebook. When they breakup with a girl, they always untag pics and they often do it within weeks. Sometimes they do it right away and other times it takes weeks before they actually untag them. It’s because they are ready to move on and want to let others know that there isn’t anyone special in their life at the moment. If your ex is truly done, the next step your ex will likely take is to delete all pics or posts/comments that you have made on his wall.
