Recently in a session someone told me they were dumped on Facebook. She and the guy were dating for a few years. Yes they were having general issues but suddenly she did not see him much and then not at all. She left him voice mails but no answer. She looked on Face Book and there was her answer! The guy's profile deleted her and in her place was the classical things from Facebook----" So and So"---now in a relationship with "So and So...." No mention of the previous gal. All photos deleted and suddenly new photos of him and the new girlfriend.
Folks--what is this world coming to? Are we electronotons? Do we now not even have the decency to let the person know face to face? Are so not able to share our feelings that we resort to these things?
It is worth contemplating. Does this gal not deserve at least a parting or farewell in person? Some closure, something after three years?
This is not to say this does not go on all the time. People abandon people and they never hear from them again. Yet Facebook is public----to some degree or at least to your friends or friends of friends.
Another thing that happens is that people say they are "in a relationship with....." and then suddenly those pictures and statements are dropped for a week or two or more by both or one---and then one or both put them back up! Guess it is a kind of Facebook feud---...
Wonder what the world of cyberspace will do next with age old human drama??.
