I've been in a few situations or heard of where a friend is friends with the friends of the significant other. In some cases upon breaking up the friends of the ex would continue being friend with said friend or completely cut off the friendship. Unfortunate but maybe some folks have that tribal mentality when it comes to friendship.

I never thought much about staying on friendly terms with the ex so long as it wasn't an ugly breakup. It wasn't until a friend asked the rest of us if we're still Facebook friends with his ex that the question came up and he actually was upset we stayed as Facebook friend even though we never interacted with the ex. I myself do not purge my friend list unless someone gets difficult to deal with.

Personally I feel being Facebook friend doesn't mean anything. It's the interaction with said people that matters. I'm probably more of a friend with folks I met in World of Warcraft 13 years ago that I have never met in person than some of my college friends that I haven't seen in several years.

Still maybe said friend expected the rest of us to cut-off the ex completely even though we were never on that much on friendly term with the ex. If anything the rest of us were just indifferent to the ex. We were "friends" in name only.

Do you remove the ex from your contact list, social media friend list, etc.?

Comments are appreciated,

Thank you
