Something stupid but sad/awkward about facebook...

So I posted a few weeks ago about how one of my ex-'boyfriends' passed away. We dated for like a month but then just stayed friends and I ended up dating a guy who he was in a band with for like 2 years so we stayed in touch that way...

I keep having dreams about him. And our mutual friends and that band they played in our throwing a big benefit concert on his behalf... blah blah blah so I keep checking his FB page to see what everyone's writing 'to him' and about this show and stuff.

I had a morbid thought like... his girlfriend and him were together for like a little over a year.

Eventually she's going to move on. You know?

Can you imagine having to 'break up' FB style with a boyfriend who passed away?

You know?

not quite on the same level but we have friends who separated after 2 years of marriage, and like 2 months after their baby was born. we know they're headed for divorce but they arent public about it yet. but like, he still has 'married to...' but she took her relationship status off, and also has a link to a new company she started under her maiden name.

its just awkward when everything is soooooooo public!

It's very sad and awkward. I've seen people who have passed and of course their FB page is up and running. People still post on their walls...It's just sad to think that people are still friends with taht person but they're not really there.
Very depressing. his poor gf having to deal with all that.

that truly is such a sad circumstance... only she will know when she'll be able to change her relationship status and I'm sure it'll be areally tough thing to do.

I know someone who dated a guy for a few years and then they broke up. They were broken up for quite awhile, and one day he was tragically killed in an accident. But he was the last person she dated and she was devestated. So many people gave her condolences as if they were still together, even though they had broken up for awhile. She was so conflicted on how to feel and react to it all. It's so sad as it is, and then seeing it on FB can really open up the wound that much more.

i totally know what you mean ...

one of my high school friends had an accident about a year and a half ago and is pretty much a vegetable now ... she was dating a guy before it happened and he still has that he's 'in a relationship' with her ... i always think it's a bit awkward that he hadn't changed it yet ... but i think i'd do the same thing if i were (God forbid) in his situation....
