Not at first. I like to see how they're doing, make sure they're moving forward and not self-destructing. I want to see them happy, but I'm not going to step back into their lives. I might ask a mutual friend to look into things, but at that point I'm cutting off all communication so that I don't obtain a personal stake in her well-being.
Once I know she's okay, I'll delete her. Or if we remain friends, there's no reason to delete her. She was a friend before, she can still be a friend after. And if a future significant other has a problem with my being friends with an ex, my ex isn't the problem. She is. If you trust a person, you trust a person. End of discussion. Jealousy and suspicion will only lead to self-created trouble that you can't eliminate from your mind.

In your situation, it sounds like he just didn't bother to delete you. Maybe it's just a social media habit, where we are quick to add friends but uncaring when it comes to deleting people unless we're out to get each other.
Guys deeply want to be friends with their exes, but it feels plain wrong, they feel immasculated and they can't bare the thought of you being with someone else, while you two are just friends. It seriously means that he has deep feelings anymore. but he's looking after himself now, if you still have feelings for him, then for god's sake get him back. if not, then stop complaining and move on too!!
haha tough but it's true :)
When my ex and I broke up he deleted me from Facebook. For him I think it was just easier dealing with the breakup without seeing his ex on his News Feed. For me, I found the idea of deleting him too painful because it was another confirmation that things had ended (21st century problems, wow). Having to see your ex on any sort of social media is difficult because it just brings up past memories and whatever feelings are left. Keeping them on a friend/contact list just really serves no purpose.
I would delete an ex off of all my social media if I dont want a constant reminder of him or want to move on. Maybe he deleted you off of snapchat because he thought you guys weren't going to stay in contact. So he thought he might as well just delete you. That or he's dating another girl and doesn't want her stumble upon your conversation. Not sure sorry :-/
Lul. I deleted my ex who cheated on me and beat me, he made two other and added me on both so accepted them. I even got the kid beat up and he still tries, even though I'm dating his friend..
Guys are weird.

It depends on how the relationship ended. Good terms, I would delete my ex. She cheated on me and I erase her from my memory banks. I stopped hanging out with a friend of mine because he cheated on his girl. I have a bad resentment towards anyone who cheats. Anyway, it's completely situational.
I don't so the girl doesn't think I care enough about her to delete her, but you can still change your settings so that their activity doesn't come up on your news page.
Maybe he finds it hard to get over you. I always delete people i want to forget, not to be mean but so it's easier to move on!
I deleted and blocked my ex across all forms of communication.
Greatest decesion of my life.
Depends on the ex. I have a couple that I've been able to maintain friendships with but there were others that I had to cut contact with.
yes.
Delete , block , set to private profile.
yes but only because she deserved it
