People do some pretty dumb things, and this includes women leaving images of their ex-boyfriends up on their Facebook page – even after they’ve started dating a new man.
What’s up with this?
I’m no Facebook fanatic, yet I’ve come across four women who have done this. If I can come across four women, being that I rarely visit anyone’s Facebook account, then you can imagine just how many women do this.
And to be fair, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a lot of men who leave pictures of their ex-girlfriends up – even if they’re dating new women.
This is just unreal. Why would they want to do this? Is it THAT hard to take down an image?
- Does it not occur to these women how offensive this would be to their new boyfriends?
- Even if these women aren’t seeing anyone new, if their followers know that they’ve broken up with the man, don’t they realize that keeping the ex’s pic up will make them come across as foolish?
- Will someone kindly explain why people leave photos of their ex’s on their Facebook page?
I’m not talking about a woman leaving a picture of her ex-husband – who’s posing with their five kids in a stunning image with a mountain backdrop – up on the account.
This isn’t about leaving up sentimental pictures that include beloved family members that are just difficult to take down.
I’m talking about run-of-the-mill shots of JUST the ex-boyfriend.
Only him. Nobody else. He’s not a father to her children. She may not even have any kids. So it’s not as though she keeps it up in honor of her children with him.
One of these women in question (I’ll call her Angie) still has on her page a photo of her ex-boyfriend standing behind her with his arms around her! (She has no kids with him.)
I mean, WTF! This is further down in the timeline. Above this are images of the new guy in her life, and her posts about, and to him, are as if he’s “the one.”
Gee, I wonder how he’d feel if he knew that further down is a picture of Angie all snuggles with the ex.
