Facebook Breakup

LegacyUser

My girlfriend and I recently broke up over Facebook. Our statuses haven't changed yet, because I would rather we break up in person as it's the right and decent thing to do. Am I asking for too much?

Is this a joke?

No, really OP, this can't have been a serious relationship if you've just used Facebook to break up. So I would think you can change your status to say anything you want on that website and in the "real world" it doesn't matter

I would also imagine that the relationship isn't worth pursuing if it was through Facebook so I would leave it be, and change your status

I agree with motley, a facebook breakup?! are you for real.... you need to talk to her face to face...

What do you mean by ye broke up over Facebook? Through chat like?

Sounds like something a 15 year old would do. My advice? Grow up and grab a bit of sense. Facebook isnt the real world, it's an internet page.

Move on and forget about it. You'll do better!

I probably should have given more details, but was trying to remain vague in case I was identified. Yes, we broke up over Facebook chat. I haven't changed the status yet because I want her to break up with me to my face at least, which is the decent thing to do. She thinks this is strange.

Maybe it is, but it's only right.

I honestly thought you could only write this stuff.....

You broke up over Facebook? If ye broke up while arguing during the chat system or something then okay I guess you should be meeting face-to-face to talk it out.

Honestly, just let it go. I know it's hard, but you're not doing anyone any favours. You have nothing to gain from making her do it again in person.

Just send her a message(on FB) and ask her if you can meet up to discuss what just happened. It is an unsatisfactory and cowardly way to end things. If she declines, well just move on and forget about it. What else can you do. Sorry for your crappy experience

I agree with this. It doesn't matter. You're making yourself look foolish by hanging on.

Why would you actually be ARSED with meeting up with someone who broke up with you over Facebook chat? Bullet dodged. Block the cow and move on.

did u have an argument or did you actually break up? sometimes teenage guys dont realise you can argue without breaking up!

If its clear you are broken up, just change your status and move on.
