For this to be a deal breaker?

Met a man who I get on with really well, he's a good friend of a good friend he treats me well but one thing annoys the hell out of me...

He's one of those annoying ranty people on FB. Every disagreement, annoyance in his life is publicised. I find it childish, cringy and quite honestly it irrationally bugs the shit out of me. He's actually not ranty in RL at all so I just don't get it.

Would this be a deal breaker for anyone else or is it just me?

I'd have just stopped being his friend on Facebook... problem solved. Just deal with the real life guy if he's nice.

Sounds like you've called time anyway so you must have had your doubts xx

Lilmissconcerned · 14/11/2014 00:22

My fault I've only just noticed there were four pages to this thread.. (It's late) and his behaviour got weird... Best out of that one :-) xx

Oh sod it.

Good call OP!

Thanks for the immensely enjoyable thread Grin

My experience of constant Facebook ranters is that they're pretty miserable and bitter in RL even if they hide it well.

Agree with de-friending him. if he's your ex then he's not your friend, maybe in the future but not now. Friends don't make passive aggressive comments about you on Facebook

Glastokitty · 14/11/2014 02:26

This thread is hilarious. You dodged a bullet there! Grin

Oh gosh, a friend of mine had worse with one fella. They would go out together and have a great laugh and yet, by the time she got home, you would have put up the status that he was depressed.

As soon he felt that she was secure he started massively neglecting her so she dropped him, but six months later when he saw she was in a relationship he started writing telling her she was the love of his life.

Ok so I had 2 text over night. First was saying whatever it is he's sure we can work it out. Second said its my loss and I wouldn't be able to find another guy who would have cared and looked after me like he would. Hmmm... Well I'm an adult woman, I don't really think I need to be looked after but whatever. So I sent him the message I copied and pasted from this thread and and he put up a status - yes another one saying... Drum roll please... I"if people don't like what I put ony Facebook then they are more than welcome to de-friend him.

So I though, you're right. Deleted him, then got a text asking why is deleted him Grin

At this point I have chosen to not respond.

Sorry that was terrible paraphrasing it said "if people don't like what I post on MY facebook wall maybe they should just un-friend me"

And then he complained that you unfriended him? Brilliant Grin.

I know. And to think I thought that other than a FB rant he seemed like a nice, normal guy Hmm

Not a lot to update. Mutual friend called round to mine last night and he said that the guy has taken down everything he has posted about me and feels like a complete plank.

I've had a message apologising too so replied just saying not to worry about it and no hard feelings etc.

Glad I made the right decision as I wouldn't even like to think what would have gone up a month or two down the line.

Jesus, that was brilliant. Thank you for sharing that.

I know someone who was exactly like that. It was so predicatable, so when she turned on me I knew what was coming, as did everyone else. It was so funny to watch.

That was 3 years ago and apparetely, according to friends of mine, she hasn't changed one bit.

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 16/11/2014 13:54

Excellent :o

But for the sake of entertainment I do agree that it's your duty to get back together with him.

Please?

Jolleigh · 17/11/2014 18:09

Any more texts OP?

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 17/11/2014 22:28

Accept! And then find one random post from 2008 and like it.

I got two whatsapp messages which I didn't respond to and then a third saying that he can see they have been read and am I really that adamant on not speaking to him ever again. Hmm
