To find the new girlfriend annoying

77 replies

My ex's new girlfriend is really really annoying me.

She has systematically gone through his old Facebook photos of when we were married and liked all of the ones where he's on his own. Most of his photos have our children in (and me as well), so she's really taken her time to do this.

This has actually really angered me.

She didn't know him then.
He wasn't with her then. He was with me (and was for a very long time until he cheated).

She's clearly done this to make some kind of point.

Delete him
Or if for some reason you don't want to just unfollow him then you won't see it

CatherinedeBourgh · 31/10/2023 18:46

How did you even notice this?

I don't think I would care. Can't you see how sad it is she has to pee all over him OP?

connu · 31/10/2023 18:48

He's your Ex, she's his problem now.

Oooh this happened in my family!

Turns out it wasn’t actually the new girlfriend but the narcissistic ex himself who had used his new girlfriend’s account to do it. He assumed his ex was monitoring his social media so he did it to wind up her up.

I took half the photos so I got notifications

Oh that's a whole other level, isn't it.

We've remained friends on Facebook due to our children and trying to maintain a fairly United front but this really really annoyed me.

It really is her trying to piss all over her territory but it's pathetic.

She didn't know him then.
He wasn't in her life.
Leave them alone

Block her - I think that then means you won't see notifications of her activity.

And ignore - if she wants a rise out of you why give it to her?

Dacadactyl · 31/10/2023 19:12

Leave the sad cow to it.

Paperbagsaremine · 31/10/2023 19:21

She's a weirdo, let her weird on and ignore her while you live your new fabulous life.
Sure you are human to find this momentarily irritating but don't waste time on her.

Cantstopcoughing · 31/10/2023 19:36

I blocked exh new wife on fb, there wasn’t a need for me to see her posts or likes etc, although occasionally like numbers didn’t add up but I stopped looking and counting. In the end he messed up again and she disappeared.

BOOTS52PollyPrissyPants · 31/10/2023 19:45

As someone else has said it is probably him doing it and you need to not let it get to you. Why did you break up, if you feel like saying. I think no matter who he got with if he treated you bad you will always feel annoyed but it is with him you should be annoyed. Am not on facebook, etc so would not be bothered as would not know. I would be moving on myself and just keep it friendly for the children's sake which is always the best thing to do. Keep yourself busy and try not to focus on what your ex or girlfriend is doing as it will just annoy you.

Now is your time to heal and move forward and try to live the best life you can without thinking of them unless to do with the children.

Exactly

Screwballs · 31/10/2023 19:52

I think it's equally sad to be sat being angry about pictures of your ex on Facebook. Let it go.

forrestgreen · 31/10/2023 19:57

Change your settings so your photos are only visible to friends

ACGTHelixA · 31/10/2023 20:16

pinkyredrose · 31/10/2023 19:46

Exactly

as the op was the originator of some of the originals photos, that was why it pinged when they were liked

JustWhatWeDontNeed · 31/10/2023 20:19

Block her.

You don't need to be his friend on Facebook to co-parent successfully.

Montaguez · 31/10/2023 20:21

If OP took the photos but he was tagged in them, then the photos will show on his page in "Photos of X" for the girlfriend to like, but OP would be notified as they are actually her photos. It's not weird at all for OP to notice when she is being notified!

BrightGreenMoonBuggy · 31/10/2023 20:35

She’s living a petty life and is to be pitied. Just block her so you don’t have to deal with / see any more of her childish nonsense.

Cosmosforbreakfast · 31/10/2023 20:36

If you posted or tagged the photos you can delete them or the tags. You don't need to be friends on FB to co parent amicably. Unfriend him, he probably won't even notice.

Sparkleshine21 · 31/10/2023 20:50

As elsa would say, let it go 😂

AnneKipankitoo · 31/10/2023 20:51

Why are you bothered ?

Sidebeforeself · 31/10/2023 20:54

I don’t get why you are angry? She’s not allowed to like pictures of her boyfriend before she met him? I mean, it’s an odd thing to do but people love Facebook for showing off.

SuperGreens · 31/10/2023 20:56

Pathetic, how funny, go and like all the ones with kids and you as well just to wind her up for a laugh!
