If you didn't want absolutely anything to do with your ex, would you unfriend their siblings too?

[Anonymous]

Like you wanted to forget them completely and move on, would you remove any links to them?

Yes

No

[Dana223]

I haven't broken up in such a bad manner that I'd have to disconnect their friends and siblings as well. I believe that normally one should separate siblings and friends from "the ex". Facebook has this nice feature called "Restricted list", which means that those whom you add there will not see your posts (unless it's public) though they will still be able to message you (back and forth).

Thanks for MHO ❤️💖

That would be the best course of action if you want absolutely nothing to do with the ex, yes!

[Asker]

Yeah common sense

[Kaneki05]

Nah. That would of been like a Ex that's cousins with 2 good friends of mine, I wouldn't just stop been there friends. And if I saw her for whatever reason I just wouldn't care because at the end of the day I am focusing on hanging out with my friends not her.
Don't matter if they come from same family.

[OlderAndWiser]

The siblings of an ex have an allegiance to their sibling. If you truly want to put your ex in the past and move forward, you should not maintain any ties that lead you back to your ex.

Thanks for MHO!

I believe you’d have to, otherwise you will be hearing about them and they will be hearing about you. At times you’d see each other.

[Asker]

OK so what does it mean if you block an ex only on one thing? Like they have access to you in other ways? Plus still being connected to their family

[s10sleeper]

Ok, I see what you mean about unfriending now. If you were blocked on one thing, maybe you were sending them too many messages, or putting up passive aggressive posts or posting things about how heartbroken you are. All of those things would be annoying

[hahahmm]

That depends on what kind of relationship I have with them. For example, my brother married and got divorced because his wife was a cheating whore. Her whole family sided with my brother from day one & they're good people so our family keeps in touch with them. And even visited them here and there. But they live in another country so we don't have much contact.

Another example would be the family of one of my cousin's exes. He had a kid with her so there's a relationship between her family (her & her parents) and my family. The relationship is really for the kid.

[Asker]

What if there was no real relationship just acquaintances, but you wanted to forget your ex and you know being connected with their family on socials, you may likely see what they're doing too.

[hahahmm]

I don't equate social media to relationships tho. For example I don't connect to any of my family on social media because I'm not interested in all the self-centered/attention whoring that goes on on there. A relationship can be very low level (acquaintances) and still be a relationship. There's nothing wrong with you cutting all ties if that's what you want. Without any family connection at all then there's no need to maintain anything. Let's say an ex's mom/grandma loved you like her own daughter... then you'd be a fool to toss that relationship away tho, in my opinion. But your choice.

[hahahmm]

Blocking is a very, very, very recent idea. You can do what people have done for eons and just ignore unwanted contact. As long as you made it clear to them that it's a no contact situation. It's just called having boundaries. IF the ex is a stalker/dangerous in any way then I wouldn't have any contact with anybody they know tho.

[TacosRAwesome]

I don't because how else is my else going to know I'm living and thriving? Come to think of it, I've only been Facebook friends with the sibling of one ex (never cared about adding the others) and he (ex's bro) unfriended me about 2 years before I left my ex because I told him the girl he was chasing was using him for attention.

[MelonSoda]

Even if i was really good friends with them, I'd have to cut them off. Can't keep being involved with an abusive asshole.

[Anonymous]

No, after my ex cheated on me and we broke up, I tried to contact her family.
It turns out that she told them all a lie that I think they're all a bunch of paedophiles.
She didn't want them to talk to me anymore so nobody would find out what she did.

[FreyaRed]

Yes. If those people aren't my real friends, it's pointless to keep links to them

[ItsMeElliana]

I wouldn't unfriend them, just keep them as friends but maybe just ignore them and not talk to them much, like i usually do

[comtep]

If I get along really well with them, no. But as a standard response, yeah. I don't really stay in contact with exes or their lives after we break up, and that's considering all my exes were great women.

[bgreek]

I would unfriend the ex
But if the ex has a cute sister
I'd fuck her to just piss off the ex

[Wise4myage]

Yes, most likely.

[Asker]

Is thay your 6 girlfriends on ur profile?

[Asker]

*that

[Wise4myage]

No, I wish, lol. 😂

[linka_pat307]

What's their fault in ur unsuccessful relationship

[PeterSmith1983]

Depends on the situation

[hi8sm3]

Best to unfriend them

[JohnK123]

That’s far haha
