I actually had this happen to me and believe me it is awful. I was living with the man and my daughter called me to see how I was doing. I said good and you? She then asked how things were with him. I thought it odd first she was calling me at work and from her work. I said things are fine why? She then informed me that he had changed his relatioship status on FB. Now I must say the week before he had talked about wanting my grandson to call him grandpa and how we were going to be together forever. So I was rather shocked. When confronted he had nothing to say other then what is the difference how it is done? I said the difference between being a child and an adult. I am pretty sure he found a woman online by the way he was acting. I have to say I was hurt and embarassed. I tried to joke it off on facebook by saying well this is a first for me. But most knew how hurt I was. Believe this is not the way to go about things. I did leave him within 2 days of that even though he said I didn't have to move out. Like I would stay with someone that would do that to me. Please never do that to someone. Have you done it?

I'm so sorry this happened to you! Men can be horrible beings sometimes and just when we get the most comfortable and trusting of them that's when it blows up in your face. Of course you would move out what's he nuts? You don't have to stay and be embarrassed that's so hurtful. Good thing your daughter is looking out for you..lol....Good luck!

I have never ended a relationship on facebook and I never will. I have a facebook account but I don't really use it that much and I think it is absolutely shameless to break up with someone on facebook especially the way your daughter's ex-boyfriend did to your daughter. I don't think it's a problem to change your relationship status but I think it is incredibly wrong to have that be the way that she finds out you are breaking up with her.
Like you said though this guy obviously was not a man but a boy. I'm sure that you've already told your daughter many times that she deserves better and that her lame ex-boyfriend isn't worth the stress or the worry. Now that she doesn't have him around she can have the opportunity to actually find mr.right and a man that will treat her the way she deserves. I hope that her hurt eases soon and that she finds happiness soon.

I haven't experience to ended a relationship on Facebook. Because what I did on that social networking site is a plain promoting something that I need to promote. I even not notice some post on their on what is going on. Sometimes I do some chat with my Facebook, friend. But most of the time it's not about personal...

I'm so sorry to hear that he did that to you. That would be awful. Especially like you mentioned the two of you were living together and everything. And he didn't even have the courage to tell that to you personally and in a private setting. That was very immature. You deserve a better person that him. He is awful.

No, I am not active on facebook.
I think you did the best you could do by leaving him. There is no point in staying with an unfaithful partner.

That's how low he level of maturity with that man you were living with. Actually breaking up on facebook is down right immature, can't he just say it to your face that he is now actually seeing someone new. And say sorry to you? Good thing you moved out, go and live your life happy with out him.

No I never ended a relationship by facebook or any other social site. Also not by writing a letter, e-mail or texting. I think only cowards do it that way. If you want to end a relationship it's your own decision but your partner should be allowed to ask why or how and you have to be adult enough to answer these questions. Nobody likes to be treated like that.
