defriending on facebook

edited September 2013 in Married Life
After much thought and consideration, I am letting go of a very one sided friendship, I feel at peace and it's whats best  for me. Now my question should I defriend this friends husband on fb, We are not that close, but I am being very discreet about everything, he seldom posts things or keep in touch with me. I read that it was important for closure but I don't want  be waving a big flag, like I am moving on, just wanting the chips to fall where they may.

    FB is too crazy and too "political". I cant tell you how many people make such a big deal out of this entire "friends" thing via FB.

    There is an entire regatta of rules that people seemingly have invented and nobody knows what kind of "etiquette" applies, when it comes t5o FB.

    You're being "discreet about everything"? What's really going on here? Methinks it is much more than just a message in you news feed.
  • I'm at this point too. One sided friendship and I'm sick of seeing how apparent how one sided it is through their posts. I've also blocked a couple of feeds already. I'll be using this defriending of the married couple to clean house. I suggest you do the same. Defriend both of them. Make a clean break.
  • being discreet meaning just the whole fb thing, as mentioned many people take facebook too seriously, I am a bit of a people pleaser and don't want to add fuel to the fire, basically I am just backing out of a friendship, that is extremely one sided. I don't even think they will  notice expect maybe if I delete him on fb.
  • just hide them and put them on your limited access list. No reason to actually defriend them.
  • Never defriend people. Put them on limited access. Then you can undo it later without their knowledge if you're curious about what kind of crazy drama is going on in their lives. ;)
  • thank you guys, he is annoying at times but I was not sure if I should keep him for political reasons, as stated above some people are sensitive about fb and I don' t want to stir up drama.
  • Yes just block him if you don't want any chance of drama. I on the other hand need to defriend some people because they are no longer friends in real life and just bring me nothing but grief.
  • Thanks guys I finally got up the nerve to unfriend,
