Did your ex-spouses family remove you from social media

[Anonymous]

My soon to be ex husband serially cheated on me, had alcoholism and is unemployed. He walked out on me in June saying I abused him.

Since then I noticed my ex sister in law blocked me from social media.

I’m a little surprised as I’ve never done anything to her. Isn’t it a little aggressive?

You’re dead to them. Move on.

You're an adult. An adult in the process of divorce. You have more important things to worry about than social media.

And take a Psych 101 course - that's not what aggressive means.

Not that I've noticed. They still like my profile pictures and stuff. But they have started friending the AP-turned-girlfriend too.

Maybe your ex-SIL never liked you and is like, well now I can stop pretending . . . IDK. I'm not really missing any of my ex-in-laws. They were mostly fine, except for when my MIL had a midlife crisis and left FIL for an incarcerated rapist. Those were a bad few years. But she always cried about how much she loved me as a daughter so it wasn't like we had beef. FIL was just self-absorbed and a functioning alcoholic, which is what my ex turned out to be too.

The girlfriend gets to spend Christmas with them and I am zero percent sad. Who knows, maybe they'll like each other better than we ever did. That's my past, not my future. We don't have any bad blood but we're also not super bonded.

There's no reason for them to stay connected to you. It's cleaner and more appropriate for them to unfriendly you and just part ways. Why would you care?

I learned what a truly misogynistic family my in-laws were when they ghosted me after my covert narcissist husband left me, our marriage of 25 years and our kids for his affair partner. Being good trad wives, my sisters in law stayed silent and obeyant. They all had fake morals. They live far away so they can pretend my husband is not a deviant. It sickens me and disturbs me that I have to allow my children around these wretched people.

What’s really funny is that they don’t know how much my ex-husband truly despises them and resents them and fakes a relationship with them. That’s why he only shows up once a year and never calls them. Pathetic.

My ex-fiancee did that recently. She always talked a big game about developing relationships but then unfriendded my family members from FB when they were so nice to her and genuinely cared about her. She left me on facebook as a friend and I am not sure why. She was abusive and very controlling and angry most of the time and that was our reason for break-up.

Move on.
They no longer consider you family or feel obligated to you
Probably for the best.

No

Yes. It is normal.

She believes his story that you abused him. Nothing you can do about it, move on.

No. My ex-SIL is wonderful and I was very sad that she is no longer part of our family and at family gatherings. My brother totally freaks out if we have any contact so I don’t see her really, but we are still friends on social media and we text for bdays, holidays, etc.

you sound unhinged. I bet there are two sides to this story!

Move on. I have unfriended ex spouses of friends or family members unless we had our own friendship.
