Unfriending ex-boyfriend isn’t friendly
Is it immature of me to unfriend an ex on Facebook? We said we’d be friends, and I know that a lot of couples who break up say that to each other, but I don’t know if it’s something that could ever work. The breakup didn’t happen because of anything terrible either of us did. We both just had different views on life and couldn’t figure out a way to work it out. I still love him, but if he doesn’t feel the same way, I have to accept that. So I’m really trying to get over it, and I feel like unfriending him would be one more step to deleting his existence. What do you think? I don’t want to be mean or immature.
