AIBU to de-friend someone on Facebook...

[Honte]

... because in every status update she makes some smug comment about her wonderful 'hubby'.

Issues I have with this:

1. The word 'hubby' makes me retch.
2. He is horrible to her a lot of the time.

Have a good cull.
Culling is good for the soul!!

You could just hide her posts, if you want to keep her as a friend but avoid the icky status updates.

I do enjoy a good cull. You can just hide her from your live feed if you don't want to read her updates.

I'd hide her posts. If her 'hubby' is horrible to her she might need all the friends she can get at some point .

De friend!!

Dont worry if she notices, sometimes FB does these things on its own.......

Maybe the 'wonderful hubby' updates are a front to tell the outside world (and any of his family she has on FB) how great things are when they really aren't, iykwim.

De friend,,she will not notice-too busy loving her 'hubby'

I've hidden his posts, they go on about how 'wonderful' he is too. Hide I think it is, I do like her lots.

I think it's always time for a cull when you read the newsfeed and find yourself talking to your monitor...saying "Look, who gives a flying fuck?"

YABU. Why not just hide the updates?

Are you my friend?

I have some who call their's 'Hubba' this I fell is much worse

feel not fell doh!

Changing - not any more!

Thanks for timely reminder!

T'is Monday. Which means it's One Born Every Bloody Minute. Which means One Status Update Every Bloody Minute this evening from friends, who, not content to watch it themselves, seem to need to provide a running commentary.

Those friends need MN where they can have a running commentary only with other people who are watching it.

make sure you tell her what a prat she is before you zap her!

I have someone who calls her dh 'baby' makes me feel a bit queasy.

Am coming to the conclusion that I hate fb and want to cull all my friends. I have one in particular who uses it to drum up business by flogging stuff to her friends. The rest use it to perpetuate the fiction that their lives are exciting and perfect. It's a total smugfest on there.

Do you have friends who constantly update their status no matter where they are, to say what a wonderful time they are having? Can't help thinking that if everything was that good, they'd be too busy enjoying it to faff about on fb!

God, I sound bitter!

I de-friended a girl I know because all she did was bang on about how wonderful her husband and baby are. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't envious or anything, but I think that not only is it irritating, but not everyone is lucky enough to have a partner or a child and it's rubbing their faces in it.

She was the wife of my DH's best friend and my DH told me not to de-friend her as it was mean. So for about 2 weeks after that, I emailed him at work her daily FB status updates. After a while of daily: "Elle Granger is so lucky to have such a wonderful husband and beautiful baby daughter" FB posts my DH begged me to de-friend her.

oh the "friends" who try and flog you stuff really pee me off - no luv im not interested in your crappy soaps or horrendous jewellery

the earth mothers who have to detail everything their little angel does - who gives a toss

the ones that constantly moan about how unfair everything is and how hard their lives are - get a grip luv

Most of my FB friends are great (witty and not obsessed). But some are just so dull - I am not interested that it is raining FFS. And someone the other day gave a full rant on getting people to use more environmental nappies. She hasn't even had the baby yet. Smirk, I can't wait till she gets off her high horse.

I use FB to highlight my failures and DC's naughty behaviour. My strategy is try to make people smile. Perhaps I am being smug that my life is funny and not perfect.

Oh dear.

And I'm with you, hubby is dreadful.

I forgive all these crimes, but for me, the instant defriend trigger is if anyone copies and pastes one of those spam statuses which ends

" Nine out of ten people wont be brave enough to repost this. Are you one of them"

Given that what precedes it is generally some badly thought out crap about how Pakistani earthquake victims are the reason that Privates in Afghanistan don't have enough ammo, it always makes me think "humph. defriend"

Hiding is so useful.

God I hate those who update EVERYTHING!!

Yesterday the smuggest one updated, going into the theatre, shown to posh seats, how show was going.....blah blah blah. Posts pics of her darling hubby sleeping FFS!

Trouble is she's really nice and we go way back but she's so fecking annoying.

So sometimes I hide then I unhide. Sometimes I deactivate that account totally and only log in to the account I have for special people and family Although a few oddballs have tried to join that one too. Wouldn't say ^ she is oddball just mega smug.

BTW I have a fantastic dp and my dss are wonderful but I tell them that not the whole of FB. Although just told you lot
