Just left it. I took my relationship status down, I didn't change it to single because I didn't want to get bombarded with questions, back then if you changed your relationship status it came up in everybody's newsfeed so I just removed it altogether. Then moving forward it was just posts about me and the kids and our life, so basically the same but without him. I didn't delete any of his side of the family straight away as we we all got along at that point however a few months down the track one of them was using my fb profile to gossip and start trouble so they went. A few more have gone since then. People start showing their true colours after a break up. I left all photos etc on there I haven't touched them. I hope that's answered your question? If you mean you had a joint profile then I would just hide it and start a new one each. Don't delete it completely as it is a good way to find photos and old posts etc that you might like to look at down the track.
Thankyou. Yes, now I was able to hide my status altogether. So I'll start with that. It's just my account. I will just probably stop tagging him in the posts with the kids. He can make his own if he wants. Thankyou for your advice!!
Change of relationship status and was good to go. I wouldn’t delete anything, you have kids together and a history together. Different if it was some dude you’d been dating 5minutes.
Thankyou lovelies! Yep, there is a lot of photos and memories that I would hate to disregard right at the moment.!! So I will just keep it as is for now.
I do have a lot of his family on there, so that will be interesting to see when everyone know, what will happen 😔
Thankyou again!!
My partner blocked his ex-wife and changed his status to divorced (after he'd had time to process the split). He chose to do that publicly so all his friends would be aware and he didn't need to have the same awkward conversation a million times.
Then every day for the first year, he would delete her photos from his "memories" unless the kids were in the pic, then it stayed.
Since I came along, he has offered to delete ALL pics with her in them, but I said absolutely not, they're still his photo memories with his children.
A lot of her family unfriended him and that's their choice 🤷♀️
But some of her family still keep in contact with him, they know the marriage was horrible on both sides, and they've been very nice about it.
It also makes that a lot easier when there's a family event for them but it's his time with the kids, he's happy to drop them at their grandparent's house for cousin's birthday parties etc.
Although the divorce definitely wasn't amicable, some of her family has definitely made an effort to be civil for the sake of the kids, which is nice.
The grandies & an auntie are also happy to babysit for a night here & there during his time while we go out, and are emergency contacts with the school in case neither parent can collect.
Good points! Thankyou. We haven't really announced anything and only told close friends and close family.
I haven't really posted anything with him in it for a while anyway. Might be a good idea for the memories posts to delete here and there Thankyou!
