I always wondered if there was some type of rule against befriending an ex shortly after a breakup. I mean, not that it’s illegal or anything, but let’s not forget about that period in between a breakup where both parties seem to despise one another, unless of course things were ended on a friendly and mutual term – but what are the odds of that really..

Remaining “close” friends after a breakup can only result in things not necessarily changing at all. Let’s be very honest for a second. How do you stop sleeping with the person you’ve been dogging down for the past x amount of months when you still ‘cee’ and communicate with them effortlessly every other day? I think at this point we can all agree that a period of separation is necessary or better yet inevitable. Cool.

It happened the other night. His name was…well y’all don’t need to know all that, but know that my phone buzzed. Almost annoyed at the fact – it was late – I grabbed my cellular off my dresser. To my surprise the buzz was no sign of a text message, but instead a Facebook notification from him. He had liked a random I’ve-got-nothing-better-to-do picture that I had just posted not quite to long ago. He was the 2^nd like on it in minutes. I stared at my screen aimlessly and wondered what in the world he did that for. To make a long story short, we dated about two years ago. It involved a fairy tale beginning and a deadly end, but enough of that. I began to wonder..

Is an ex anything of yours liking a Facebook status acceptable or should we consider it a mockery depending on the status? What about liking a picture in my case? Personally, I’ll take it as a “damn, I messed up and you look good…here’s a like…I’m sorry.” Am I wrong…or too much too soon
.
What about Twitter? Should two broken parties refrain from following one another? You know..since it’s over and all..  Be honest. How does your ex RTing you make you feel? I’ll lie to you not the FB think mind-freaked me a little bit, not for too long, but momentarily.

These are the types of things that drive us all insane from time to time when we get just enough downtime to realize what’s going on in the midst of our social networks and it’s all one big game. One third of the time there goes absolutely no thought into it and the other two-thirds…well there goes plenty. If you ask me, I’m just too good to like the status of any ex I burned bridges with. Hell, I’m too good to even be friends on FB or follow each other! Again, that’s just me. Depending on the time frame and ending of a relationship I think a general six months of complete separation might do justice, or does the three-month rule also apply to breakups?  What do you guys think?
