My ex and I broke up on good terms like 4 months ago and we still follow each other on socials

Just block them fr or you’ll just keep obsessing over their posts and stuff

I wouldn’t know mine blocked me right after we broke up but if it was up to me yeah no biggie. I even removed her fam from my friends list and deleted that Monopoly Go game we always played. But once my fam found out we broke up they deleted her too so I guess that counts

Taking them off all socials def helps delete old messages either toss the pics or hide them in a folder.
Out of sight out of mind.

Healing’s not a straight line and unfollowing them can help you focus on your own vibe instead of staying stuck.

I made the best move not seeing what they’re up to and honestly it’s better that way

We had a fight he said he needed time to think then ended things over text. I didn’t argue just let him go and sent one last long message. After that he stopped sharing his location on iPhone which pissed me off. So I blocked him everywhere even LinkedIn. He knows he can still reach out if he really wanted to but he’s a coward and won’t. Honestly I blocked him first because I know seeing him doing better than me right now would just trigger me more.

My ex is blocked everywhere. It's been way better for my healing. I'm way happier without them around.

You can't start a new chapter if you don't let go

You can stay FB friends but they won’t see all your posts. Or under status settings like public or friends only just pick all friends except ____. Same vibe.

If your ex is making you uncomfy just block them and keep it moving. Letting them stick around like bad vibes isn’t gonna help you let go or move on. Just block and bounce.

It’s kinda like you either remove them (totally get why you’d be salty) or just spend less time on socials. Is there a mute option?
if you delete them do you think it’ll fix the curiosity thing? You might still wanna check their profile (if it's not private) and they could still stalk yours (if it's not private). So it might not really fix it just add more bad vibes by removing them.
Honestly I think it's just a time thing. Whether you keep them or delete them it'll probably take months to move them out of your head. In 6 months you might be fine with their pics and the attachment will fade a lot.
But yeah it's really your call. I tried to think of both sides since a simple delete and move on isn't always the move. If it was bad terms or they messed you over I’d say for sure delete them so you're not reminded of the bad stuff every time you see them. Since it's on good terms you might find that you care less and less till you're chill with them still being there. I've been through it. Good luck with whatever you decide!

I get why you guys still follow each other after a breakup but in the long run it's way healthier to unfollow. I don't keep my ex on social media it just lets them back into your life and gives them a window into yours. Plus it can make you slip into toxic habits like reaching out out of loneliness. My ex used to keep all his exes on his socials and I found out he was way more likely to still hook up with them and even have sexual convos. If you're looking for a fresh start it’s better to clear the path for a new future with your next partner.

Your mind’s gonna come up with excuses just push them aside. You won’t regret it!

It kinda depends on the breakup. I still have one of my exes on social media but we have mutual friends live near each other and the breakup wasn’t bad at all.
My most recent ex though I had to block. Couldn’t deal with seeing her all the time but I texted her to explain why (I posted about it on my profile if you wanna see more). So really it’s up to you what are you feeling?

You can unfollow whoever you want it’s your social media. You don’t owe anyone an explanation. It’ll definitely help you heal or move on.
