I am not a fan of FB. If it's making you that miserable delete your account or else get a grip and realize that others lives are just that, their lives and just b/c they post happy pics doesn't mean they don't have their own issues behind the scenes.

Work on getting to a place where you can create your own new and joyous memories. Focus on that...you'll get much further that way pondering over how others have it better than you. Good luck.

I'm quite active on FB because my very large family of my 3 sisters, their families, my over abundance of cousins and aunts and uncles and other relatives plus personal friends use it to all keep in contact. I think it's great for that. But, yes, sometimes I do have those pity parties as my relatives, and my friends are all seemingly happily married while I am the divorced loser of the bunch.

social networking website.Thats what it is and always will be. Don't sighn up , dont put yourself in the network . lol

Setup

Facebook, like other social networks, is all about getting in touch with others. Luckily for novice users, Facebook has created some simple ways to find your friends using your e-mail address, or the buddy list from your AOL instant messaging account. You can also search by name, or pull up listings based on your computer's address book.

Ha ha thats funny

Well, I stopped using it, then I removed my ex from my FB; now FB is useful again.

I deleted my FB because I would feel down every time I went on there or would look at my ex's page or the page of girls he had cheated with... it's so much better for me to not have an account. Maybe it would be the same for you?

Facebook sucks

i lost my family to fb. wife reconnected with an "old friend" a 1000 miles away, while we awere having trouble in our marriage, he moved up here now they are living together. i deleted my fb account and think that fb is evil. toeasy not to work on your marriage. to bail and go to greener pastures. i don't think that i am the only one in this situation. thanks

facebook is a good tool for some, i suppose. but, just like anything else, if it isn't working, ditch it.

I received a ton of support over the past years from friends on facebook. I didn't think that the ex was on, but once I found out I blocked him and everyone that were "mutual" friends. I had NO IDEA he was on there until I clicked on a friends pic and it brought me to his page! Disgusting pic of him with someone 20 years younger. That was the first and last time I saw his page.

It's hard not to look, but it's just like no contact. Why look when you know it is just gonna cause you pain.

I had my stbx blocked for awhile, but don't anymore. I don't look at his page and I have changed my privacy setting so he or anyone not on my friends lists can't see my postings. I have been quiet about what I am going through except for posting things from status shuffle that fit my moods. I have gotten alot for support through those postings from people who do know and people who didn't know. Last week I posted about me divorcing my husband and thanked those who have been showing support and have since gotten alot more support. I have only a few friends in common with him, and only one that I did not trust that he would say something to my stbx so I blocked him and my children from seeing that particular post.

To see others happy doesn't bother me. I am glad that others aren't going through this and it is nice to see that there are good relationships. I still share good things about my family, just without my stbx.

I have used it to rebuild friendships lost. I try not to compare myself to the married/family folks, cause to be honest, is anything REALLY as it seems?
People will make things seem perfect when they are far, far from it.....

If I didn't use FB to monitor my kids' online activities, I'd have gotten rid of it months ago.

My ex isn't on FB. He insists that all social networking is "stupid", so I'm relatively safe there.

When we were still living together I had a problem with FB. I never posted things about my situation on there because I hadn't removed his family from my friends list, and I hadn't done that yet because he didn't want anyone to know we were splitting until I moved out. Well my ex had his aunt watching my FB page and my mom posted something nasty about the ex, which I gave a non-commital reply to, and I got screamed at for "not defending him" regarding my mom's comment. Yeah, like that is going to happen. So I promptly deleted all of his family from my list, even his cousins who never bothered me and were staying out of it, because I just didn't want the drama.

FB is awful...sadly people can "friend" or email your spouse and you might not be the wiser...sadly my husband didn't seem to keep that boundry and a woman who 30 years ago professed her love for him found and friended him and he accepted without telling me...then they started chatting and texting daily M-F until I found out...uugghhh FB makes it easy for people who are bored in their lives to go looking up people from their past..I really miss the days when it wasn't so easy...and now I don't trust because anything you have to hide you shouldn't be doing...not to mention my husband acts like I am crazy or something and that I am jealous...well if you spend all your time investing it in someone else and you are hiding it then that IS an emotional affair...and that is what FB and other sites like it do for some people..makes it easy to have an emotional affair :(
