writes:My ex dumped me a week and a half ago. We had a 1 year relationship. Its been very hard for me, but he is completely fine. He feels nothing about the break up and has moved on. I have to see my ex every day as we go to uni together and are in the same faculty. We used to be best friends before dating, and we have lots of mutual friends. Should I delete or block him off facebook? I feel like it could be an immature thing to do since I have to see him every day, and adding him back to facebook would be awkward. But I don't want to know what he's up to, I don't want to know anything about his life. What should I do

 I would delete him. Also, you can block him as well. The block then stops him trying to find your profile. Also, it should send a message that things are over for you.

 Delete. He should understand why. If he asks, just tell him that since you broke up you need time to get over him and what you and him had, and therefor you need to separate yourself from him for a while. Try to not hang out with him, if you can't avoid seeing him then ok, but you shouldn't force yourself to hang out with him and pretend to be just buddies, when you are hurting from the break-up.
You can block him and he'll never find out, but eventually you'll feel curious and then go and check his profile... and probably read something unpleasant or hurtful. So better to delete and just tell him the honest truth about why. It's not childish. If he needs to contact you he can contact you in person or through a friend, people manage without facebook.

Not only is it socially acceptable to delete him from your FB, but it's also a very wise thing to do. A deletion doesn't have to be permanent. In the future after you've moved on, you can always add him back.
Also I wouldn't be so sure that a week after the breakup and he's already moved on and is perfectly fine. He's probably just not outwardly showing the pain that he's going through when he's around other people, which can also be a healthy way to get over a break up. Don't worry about him and how it looks as if he's dealing with the break up, just concentrate on yourself.

 You have our permission to dump him from facebook. It may be very hard for him, but you will be fine.
Seriously, go ahead and unfriend him. He'll live, so will you. Good luck!

 Facebook causes so much hassle these days for relationships. Don't give it a second thought. Delete him stop causing yourself stress.

 You pick and choose what friends to have on YOUR list. FB isn't to be taken literally.
I urge you to delete him on FB..you don't need to updates that he's out on a date or anything of that nature. Only block him if you're tempted to check his unlocked FB page.
