Do you think it is a good idea?
Just come out of a relationship, his choice, but he is still on my friends list. I was gonna keep him on there but today have read something on his wall that suggests that he is going out with someone else already. May be totally innocent but I'm not sure.
What do you think?

It's up to you - if you're still fragile about the whole thing, then delete them. Otherwise, I don't see the issue unless you're not going to like what you see.
Claire: I have showered x
Paul: Now you smell loads better x

Friendly banter?
Either way - without being too blunt, it's nothing to do with you, and you're very likely to read whatever you want into many postings.
Perhaps it's better if you don't view their account for a while.
Then remove him for the time being. There is no point upsetting yourself by reading his messages - which you are bound to do.
Looking back at his page is not gonna help you move on and when he does meet someone, you're best not knowing.
Things will get easier within time - but for now, you need to be brave and delete him straight away.
**hugs**
Yours doesn't sound like it and any message you see is either going to destroy you or give you false hope. Delete, give yourself the time and space to grieve for your lost relationship, and move on with life.
Also about 90% of the time ex's dont stay friends so theres no point keeping him on facebook.
yeah, we realized that now. Make the right decision and don't draw it out like that, for your own good.
If you don't want to stay friends, then remove.
I've never seen what the big deal is with Facebook.
Gutless like I knew all along!
10 days!!! :mad:
it does sound like your kinda reading into his profile to see if he has updates.
Severing all contact with an ex and their friends is the only way forward for me... literally remove them from your life for now. Try to forget they even existed. Then, maybe when you're totally over it, you can try and get in contact with him if you really want to still be friends and see how you both feel about it.
(I do sometimes FB stalk him a little bit. But not *too* much)
I'm not under any assumptions that we will get back together, I dont see that at all but it is nice to have us trying to get back on an even keel as fb buddies again.
really, you are not over him and I would advise you to remove him from your facebook. Just tell him you couldn't bear being so in "contact" with him, because you ain't over the break-up. It will do you no good in the next time. you will just dwell on it and overinterpret ever kiss he puts on the end. It puts your life on halt. He is just usually nice and you probably fantasize about him coming back, don't do it.
:yes:
