    Couple of choices here:

    Untag yourself from the pictures.
    Remove him from Facebook.
    Get amongst it, and start posting pics of you with a load of men.

    Both of us have those spamming our email accounts too.

    I didn't give it a thought until my ex texted me a few weeks ago saying 'hows your speed dating going on facebook'... thought he was being his usual paranoid self; until I reliased it was the spam emails he had seen... so I can thank Facebook for contributing to the breakdown of my marriage! Wonder if I can sue them.. ;)

  • Sorry, I should have made it clear that I removed him as a friend months ago, within a couple of days of him leaving. I knew that I wouldn't be able to resist checking to see his updates...but equally I knew it would kill me to see his new girlfriend. His photos can be seen by anyone...hence my confusion that he would want his new girlfriend to see them and the comments everyone made about how happy they were for us.

    Yes, I know I shouldn't look at his photos. But six months ago I wanted to marry this man and we had discussed when we would begin trying for a baby. I can't switch those emotions off easily, no matter how much I would like to. :(

    Block him, then you can't see his page or photos and he won't even show up in a search.

    But you have got to, in order to move on. Me and my husband split up in February, we have a 5 year old daughter together, and I believe my husband left me for someone else.. that hurt, tremendously. But I have a life to get on with, my daughter needs her mum so I have moved on. It was hard to start with, ruddy hard, but I only contact him when I have to, for the sake of our daughter. I do not get into little chats with him. He isn't on FB so I can't check up on him (probably would if he was if I was honest) but by keeping contact to a minimum has allowed me to deal with the situation a lot quicker.

    You need to block him on FB; and move on, Sorry to sound harsh but he's gone. The old saying goes 'if you love someone set them free, if they come back to you great, if not, it wasn't meant to be'.

    On another note, have you had your weekend with your friend in Surrey yet ? Any further thoughts on the house and how is the new job ??

    Hi Amanda, thank you for remembering me! I'm off to Surrey next weekend, I cannot wait! It'll be so lovely to see my best friend and catch up...and lovely to have three consecutive days off! :rotfl:I've voluntered for so many extra shifts in my 2nd job that a day off is a serious novelty for me (1st since Easter)..never mind three days, woo hoo!!!!

    I'm still not back living in my house. It holds so many happy memories...and apart from anything else I'm a rubbish cook! :rotfl:

    The new job is lovely...I still can't quite believe my luck at escaping from the last place. It is so nice to come to work and not have people shout at me!!

    See - life is looking up. Seems to me that every time you get yourself on the straight and narrow, the ex pops up in some way shape or form and bites you on the bum :mad:

    Have a fantastic weekend with your best friend and treat it as the start to your newer, better life. Have said before and will say again (from experience) that you can and will move on and it will be his loss, but believe me by the time he realises that your life will be so fantastic you really won't give a toss :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
