Why would someone deactivate their entire facebook account just to avoid one person Why not just unfriend them?

The person is still on their friend list they just deactivated their account. Also is there anyone else who has done this and why did you do it?
In case not everyone knows there is a difference between deactivating and deleting a facebook account. If you deactivate your account everything remains the same in case you want to go back later and reactivate it.. Your friends are still there, timeline posts, posts from others etc...Deleting a facebook account however gets rid of everything and if you want a facebook account in the future you would have to sign up all over again and re add all your friends, build a timeline etc...

All I can say is, That person is probably hurt and wants to be alone for a while. Dont Worry!! whoevere that person is, will definitely getback and add all the friends by all meanse but in some time..
