Is it childish to unfriend him from facebook?

[katnip91]

I'm 22 years old and I was seeing a guy, a 30 year old man, for the past 4 months. A few weeks ago, due to some personal circumstances, I thought I was going to be moving home permanently. Moving home would consist of moving from where I was living, to 3 provinces away (I'm Canadian)....so a pretty big move. This guy and I had our "final goodbyes" when I thought I would be leaving which were hard, at least for me, and seemingly for him (but maybe not for him?).

Anyways things changed, and I've ended up not having to move. I messaged this guy to let him know things changed and I was no longer leaving the city. He didn't respond to my message for 2 weeks. I was seriously concerned something was wrong or had happened to him, since we saw each other or talked to each literally every single day. He sent me a message saying that in the day or two period between thinking I was leaving to me finding out I wasn't leaving, he started seeing somebody else.

I'm not an idiot, and I know he was clearly talking to and maybe hanging out with this girl while him and I were still seeing each other (aka before I even thought I was going to have to move). He is a shitty guy, I know.

Anyways we're still friends on Facebook. I know it's just Facebook but I am trying to figure this out. Is it immature of me to delete him off Facebook? I just can't handle seeing him post statuses and pictures with this girl, and I feel I could move on faster if we were no longer Facebook friends. I want to remain mature though, and don't want him to think I'm immature for deleting him. Any opinions?

Unfollow him. so you wont see his posts, and he wont know u unfollowed him. But you'll be still "friends" with him.

It's obvious that he wasn't worried about hurting *your* feelings before your move or after when you learned that you were staying instead. Since he's seeing someone else, he probably wouldn't care whether you un-followed or un-friended him. If he does protest, keep in mind that he has to earn your friendship and not assume ownership because it suits his ego.

Immature? No.
Emotionally bruised? Sounds like it.
Do you need to be reminded of this everyday? No.

It's time to move on and start anew (painful as it may be...).

Good luck & Best wishes for 2014 and beyond...

If it hurts you that bad I'd delete him, but deleting him will show him that you still have some sort of feelings towards him. My opinion is its immature, and you should just move on and ignore it. It's just a social website, deleting him shows no purpose other thank you're pissed. But like I said if it hurts you that bad do it but you only saw him for four months it can't be that bad. If you leave him on there and act like nothing is wrong you'll look like the bigger person and you'll look like you could care less. Post happy statuses and happy pictures. Please don't put sad quotes and song lyrics on your Facebook. It'll look desperate. But anyways, yes it's immature just leave him on there, don't look at his Facebook, and forget about him. Guys want girls to be sad and want them back. Acting like you don't even care enough to delete him or acknowledge that he even existed will bother him whether he wants to be with you or not.
