Maybe she's feeling sad and wants her friends to comfort her?

confusedmummie · 02/06/2010 23:22

Don't see the problem, she is merely telling the truth. I think you are more annoyed that she has hurt your brother. I would stay off her page or delete her from your friends list if it bothers you that much.

Fimbo · 02/06/2010 23:27

Tell your brother to delete her too.

YANBU.

It's no secret what I think of FB (pile of poo) and I can see what you're saying.

If you don't like it, leave FB. You life won't suffer for it.

no i dont thinh yabu......I am on facebook and its useful for me in regards to keeping in touch with old friends etc......but i do honestly believe that people are far too personal on it. I have a friend on there who decided to let everyone she was in hospital having a miscarriage through her facebook status!!!!!!!!......i would have thought that announcing such a delicate subject on a worldwide network sysyem would be the last thing i wanted to do at the time.

If you are still going to carry on using facebook, then im in agreement that you delete your brothers ex and tell him to do the same.

NewLeaseofLife · 04/06/2010 10:28

I am quite personal on facebook but I only have very close friends and family on there and my security settings are high. I have taken people off as friends because there updates piss me off in the past. Why dont you remove the exgf and advise brother to do the same. I would also urge everyone to check the security settings, esp the photo albums as these change sometimes.

mrsbean78 · 04/06/2010 10:31

fawkeoff, it makes sense to me that you might 'globally announce' a m/c to get 'telling others' over and done with. I don't think I would do it, but I understand the urge to just get it out there and not have to say the words.

DuelingFanjo · 04/06/2010 10:33

why are you checking her facebook?

usualsuspect · 04/06/2010 10:35

Just delete her then..aint hard is it

fawkeoff · 04/06/2010 10:47

Mrsbean78 i could understand why someone would want to share whats happening to them......i have suffered three miscarriages so am in no way being insensitive....im just stating that it was a status that made me feel as if a little too much information had been shared....there are people on my facebook that i just would not want to share that kind of information with.

I suppose i use my facebook as a bit of fun....i dont take it that serious that i would ever disclose such a personal matter.....but each to their own

confusedmummie · 04/06/2010 20:33

why should i delete her when its my newphews mum and want to no whats happenin with him fair enough she wonts to tell every1 how she is now single 'and lovin it' in her own words but how fuckin insensetive is that!

if it bothers you this much then forget FB and do more exciting stuff with your time rather than fretting about her.

life's too short!!

so glad i don't use FB when I see threads like this...
