It's been weeks since he broke up with you and you're still wondering whether to delete him off Facebook or not. It is a tough decision to make because there is a chance he might not add you in the future if you regret your decision. If that is the situation you are in now, here are 3 questions to ask yourself to know the answer.
Question #1: Has he deleted you?
Before cracking your head to find the answer, check that your ex boyfriend hasn't deleted you from his list; especially if he is the one who dumped you. Chances are, he has already deleted you right after the break up to distance himself from you.
The tricky part in this situation, where your ex has already deleted you from his list, is whether to add him back as a friend. There are plenty of answers online with some saying 'yes, add him to show that you are ok with things' while others say 'no, he doesn't deserve it'.
My answer for that is NO. Do not add him back as a friend. I understand how much you want him back by your side but at this moment, if you add your ex boyfriend back to your Facebook list, he will be thinking you are stalking him. So, for now, let it be.
If you are still on his list, proceed to question #2.
Question #2: Are there any pictures of him with a new girl?
Yes. Be a Facebook stalker for once just to be sure that he is not already seeing someone new. If it has only been a week since your break up and there are pictures of him hugging/kissing another girl, it will be wise to remove him off your Facebook list. This is a sign that he probably doesn't care about your relationship or it could also mean that he has been seeing that girl even before the both of you broke up!
If you cannot bring yourself to delete him off your Facebook list, ask yourself this: 'Would you rather remove him from your list now or tolerate another few months seeing him tagged in photos with other girls?' The latter will definitely bring you more heartache.
Question #3: Do you want him back?
IF you intend toget your ex boyfriend back, it is wise not to delete him off your Facebook list of friends. If you delete his profile from your list of friends, he will see it as a sign that you are distancing yourself from him and that eliminates any chance of patching things up.
