Ughh this makes me mad

[MissMuffett]

I check my facebbok and I c people who have been married with kids for years, RECENTLY seperated and flaunting their new partner on facebook. The kicker is their ex is on their friends list!! Don't people have hearts anymore!!

[Peety]

That is very mean..

[Stickler]

I guess this all depends on how you define "flaunting". Taking some pictures, uploading them into an album and setting one as your main picture I dont think is flaunting. Now if you go around your friends list saying how good your new partner is compared to your old one, than that is flaunting.

[MissMuffett]

MY term of flaunting: if its a recent breakup and ur posting lovey dovey messages, (I love u, ur the best boyfriend ever, ur the best thing that ever has happened to me) with pictures of them making out. Not like 1 but like 30. Just discusting.

[bluekrissyspikes]

i agree, very imature. personally i think a lot of people don't think of what they are posting on facebook or use it as a way to upset people.

In that case, yeah thats flaunting. Although unless I know what the reason for the recent break-up, I cant say whether or not that the flaunting is justified.

[rmkryan]

maybe both parties are ok with it and it has been long time in the making.

[bouffant]

Yo Miss Muffet, try to tough it!!I know alot of people that use FB as a tool to play headgames with people. I'm amazed at how immature people have become since the dawn of facebook. They use their status bars as a tool to brag, insinuate and glorify their lives yet the only ones they are fooling are themselves, So sit back, relax, have a smoke or a piece of cheesecake and have a good laugh. Face book is very loser friendly, don't forget that!!!

[dancingqueen]

loser friendly , lol I like that

[Turtles]

Well put, Bouffant! Unfortunately, I'm even seeing some immature people on here, that appear to have the need to "argue" with everyone about everything - like it's their way of thinking, or the highway! Whatever happened to "it's OK to disagree"?

[bouffant]

Oh the drama!! It's so interestng to read what some people say in their status bars, you can cut the tension with a knife...LOL... love the frost!

[Oscar_Leroy]

I think flaunting can be terrible. If an ex is on a friends list on facebook and sees a 'lovey dovey' message however, I don;t think this is too bad. A break up is usually a mutual agreement to end a relationship, and expecting the other party to not move on afterwards is just as bad as flaunting a new partner in my opinion. Sure it can be hard being in a break up and witnessing your ex move on, but it happens to everybody at some point though. Flaunting and rubbing in the face of an ex is terrible though. I don't think some people are even capable of caring about the feelings of others though. Touchy subject really

[Bluesky]

Anyone can disengage a friend if they don't want to look at their 'friends' status updates.

I do that to people who want to befriend me on Facebook, and then post inappropriate stuff on their status update. My kids and grandkids see my newsfeed, and so I un-befriend someone pretty quick if they start spewing garbage.

Facebook can be quite a helpful tool if used correctly and discriminately. It keeps my family in touch with what;s happening.. and I like that, cuz we are spread across the country.

[SusyQ]

I 101% agree with Skyblue. The options are there for you. If you don't like what you see or read delete them.

[lk_wicked]

I also agree with skyblue. the upset party that sees something they don't like, can block that person and not see that status message. afterall, a breakup usually involves two people. her story, his story and the truth is usually somewhere in the middle. bottom line, block and delete, best tools there are. it would also be nice if mutual friends of these broken up couples didnt feel the need to constantly share with one or the other, everything the one party is doing, with the other party. lol if you could follow that. repeating stuff face to face in the name of friendship, is more hurtful then any flaunting as far as I am concerned.

How long should one wait before it isn't flaunting? I have a bunch of my ex's on my friends list, and don't want them to think i'm flaunting by showing pics of my kids :)

I think the flaunting shall begin when you get all your stuff back lol lol

I never add anyone that I've never met in person and could pick out of a crowd and then about the only thing I write is for them to pick up the phone and give me a call or I will phone them . As for a communication devise it ranks right up there with e-mails as totally sucking.

[MissMuffett]

I've cleaned out my facebook!! TOO many weirdos out their.

I did the same thing.FB sure shows immaturity in some people.:teeth:

[official soonet pu$$ycat]

So an ex can't flaunt their new life? What should make you mad is that a friend keeps an ex on the list if they can't take what they're posting. If your friend is forced to go on facebook and forced to keep that ex on their list then ya its sad. Reminds me of when I was 6 and used to make faces at my brother. He would scream begging me to stop. But no matter how much I did it, he would never just look away. He felt the need to stare at me. With that being said, how old is your friend?

[MissMuffett]

I guess he probably wanted to stay In contact with her. But soo not the right way. Anyways, I'm over that!

My facebbok list has shrunk too. I have no need for useless people!

I feel bad for my children though who have to grow up in a world where verbal face to face communication is limited.. It may affect their confidence in some situations. I truely hope that won't happen.

[official soonet pu$$ycat]

People choose not to have face to face communication

Her confidence is going to be affected no matter what type of communication she is involved in. She will constantly be judged by her peers and constantly trying to achieve what society believes to be perfection.

Some people just love to Facebrag. Not cool.

[cybolynx]

FB sux for communication
its a buggy site, that contains crappy apps that can and do contain malware mind you not all apps are like that ... talk about personal violation
not only that, anything you put on facebook can be use by facebook at there own discretion, because they are now the sole proprietors of your content ...


msn is for conversations and so is a phone ... FB general chit chat with old friends that dont have your number or msn ... for whatever reason it is ...

[everywoman]

It's a nice way to be in touch with old friends that you might not otherwise be in touch with, or sharing photos with everyone. It CAN be a great form of communication if people use it appropriately.

What scares me is the young teens(12, 13 etc.) who are all w.h.or.e.d up and posing provocatively, posting a thousand pictures of themselves, and the parent who AREN'T stepping in and telling their daughters how dangerous this is, and then taking the photos OFF!

I can just see ~100 years ago:

"Cars!! You don't need cars, horses are just fine ... what a "sucky" piece of transportation them cars are."
