I have been dating someone for just over a month, so obviously not been together long, but all going great and we have already said I love you etc.

I was bored tonight and on Facebook and starting browsing through his photos. When I saw a photo of his family - he only mentioned his brother and father to me and there was another man and woman in the photo (both tagged with the same surname as bf)

I clicked on the mans and realised it was bf's older brother and the woman is his SIL - again not friends on facebook. The odd part is they are not friends on facebook - even though they clearly were 2 years ago.

This couple have children, two girls who are his nieces and so he has clearly cut off contact with them too.

I know facebook isn't everything and you delete people all the time - but to delete a sibling?

I don't know whether to find this odd.

You can tag people who aren't or ever were on Facebook.
Tagging means nothing.

If at one point they were on Facebook and his 'friends' then another explanation is that they are no longer on Facebook.

My sister and her husband used to be on my friends list, but removed themselves a few years ago because of privacy concerns.

Doesn't mean we have fallen out though

We have family who we had to remove from fb because of petty jealousy issues.

Mil was being really shitty over seeing one pic of my mum with my ds! That pathetic! She was a right bitch about it so we removed her as mil said she couldn't stand seeing any pics of ds with any of my family.

She is still in our lives unfortunately, just not on our fb.

I do wonder what other people and other family think who don't know what went on!

LadyBeagleEyes · 20/02/2013 20:41

I was just about to come on and ask why this was still here when the other one went pfft.
And to think I got told off by another poster with pointing out a name change.
Grrrr.
