Today, I recently broke up with a girl I care greatly about to spare her having to deal with my mental health issues. Facebook keeps updating me with everything she does. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me. She later put on Facebook that, "Today was a great day!" FML
Today, I just called my now ex-girlfriend to break up with her, due to our insurmountable lack of communication, even though I was in therapy for four months to try and keep the relationship afloat. Before breaking up, she'd blocked me on Facebook, Whatsapp, Twitter and Instagram for no reason. FML
Today, my girlfriend threatened to break up with me because I don't like her Facebook statuses enough. FML
Today, when I logged onto Facebook, I discovered a friend request from my ex who broke up with me and deleted me months ago. Upon adding her, I was taken to her profile where I saw dozens of status updates talking about how much she loves her new boyfriend, who she dumped me for. FML
Today, I got dumped by my girlfriend. Apparently, it's my fault because I act like I don't care… and guess what? She's posting little embarrassing details about me on her Facebook wall. FML
Today, my girlfriend of 3 years broke up with me because I added an old high school friend on Facebook. She claims this person is getting in the middle of our relationship. I haven't talked to him in years, and he lives across the country. FML
Today, I rang my girlfriend to make sure she made it home alright. She told me to check my Facebook. Nothing was different so I hit refresh. We were no longer in a relationship. I got dumped via Facebook whilst on the phone to her. FML
Today, I was diagnosed with depression. My girlfriend's idea of consoling me was to break up with me because she can't date a "psycho". FML
Today, my girlfriend decided to break up with me over Facebook. Unfortunately, she "accidentally" posted it on my wall instead of sending me a message, so the whole world could see it. My mom liked her post. FML
Today, my girlfriend's mom pulled me aside and started telling me about how her daughter was extremely depressed and suicidal before she met me, and how happy her family is because of me. I was planning on breaking up with her within the next week. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's really rough, but if seeing her activity on Facebook bothers you so much, just unfollow her.

I am sorry that you felt you had to end your relationship due to your mental health issues. However, did you give her a fair chance to accept you as you are? A lot of people have mental health problems and their loved ones just accept them. Also, if you are having issues with Facebook telling you about her then stop following her. Its not hard.

Without context, I know it’s hard at times but it’s important to work on yourself and be able to maintain your illness before dating again. You did the right thing.

Take a napkin, move on. It shows character when you can deal with an ending, so you get a better new start with someone else. Learn to move on!

This is along the lines of what I wanted to say

My girlfriend did that with me years ago, broke up without saying the real reason. We got back into contact during Covid because we both still cared about each other and wondered if the other was ok. We were apart for 3 years. She told me the truth that she didn't want to be a burden on me but still loved me. I never stopped loving her and I had pretty much just figured I would be alone for the rest of my life, just cuz I knew she was the one. She has depression and doesn't feel she deserves happiness. We are working on that, but I am never letting her go again. Mental illness doesn't push people away, must will try their best to help if they truly care about each other. If you really care about her, tell her the truth. If she cares as much, she might be willing to help. You deserve to be happy too.

My ex and I stayed together for 5 years. We broke up 5 years ago but kept seeing each other until last year. I'm still in love with him and for 4 years now, Facebook wants me to befriend every single girl he has slept with. I hate the "you may know..." functionality.

Usually just blocking is enough to stop that. Also unfriend and unfollow her, move on.
