Is it normal that i want to delete my ex off facebook? (i am over him)

I made a little research over the issue and I found out that most people who want to do this are not yet over their exes. I am now in a loving relationship and there's no way I am not over my ex. He was very similar to who I am but we couldn't really get along to the extent that I'd find it healthy and we knew some day it would end. We hardly got into a fight and it was mutual when it ended. (even though he initiated it the very last time.) As time passed, I wholeheartedly regret the relationship and when I think about having sex with him, I have the urge to cry.

We tried to be friends at first but these days, we don't talk or meet anymore. I have no reason to keep him in my life apart from the fact that I feel strange to just cut someone (who was once so intimate with me) off for no reason. Plus, I don't wanna be mean to him.

    There's an option to kind of mute that person on Facebook. That's what I did with my ex. They have no idea you did it and all it does is stop their posts from showing up on your homepage. It's basically unfriending them without the awkward actually unfriending him.

    You are over him, yet you have to ask an online community this...? I doubt you're over him. If you have to go in to detail about why you want to do something so simple as delete someone off of Facebook, then I really do doubt you are over him.

    Why do people even use Facebook?

    Squirrel-Whisperer answered it just the way I would have, the reason you were motivated to write this is that you probably are not fully over the breakup.

    The simple fact that you made this story reflects that you do still care about him on some level and are maybe not over him as much as you profess.

    In particular, your expression of regret (an intense emotion) and wanting to cry when you think about your intimate moments together. Breaking up is not necessarily a "mutual" act either just because both people end up agreeing to it in the end; the person who "initiates" it is still essentially *dumping* the other.

    Cutting someone out is akin to "burning your bridges." Are you sure that's what you want? Do you think he'd want that of you?

    To me, it sounds like you want to delete him from your Facebook because you're still a bit hurt. But it is fine to feel that way, just don't kid yourself about why you're doing it. :)

        No problem. It's nice of you to say so. :)

        My analytical comments tend to make me sound a bit cold and boring, but really, I do care.
