writes: Dear cupid, I broke up with my boyfriend and was wondering if I can ask him to clean my facebook account; I mean he's literally commented on all my photos and liked them, liked all my profile pics, etc. Would this request be considered bonkers or a simple logical step since he's no longer into me and things have reached a complete halt. I will give him all his photos back, and tear any we've had together, coz I want to move on. I don't want to be "friends" with my ex and the only thing that's left to do now is get rid of all those virtual likes and silly comments on FB. Please help me in this cyber trouble. Many thanks.

yes its great to move on.. but you can also do this option and that is to unfriend some people without deleting them. i did this because I don't want to know about them and on the same time i don't want them to know that i deleted them. so this is the only option i know.. i found this site that has the step on how to do it.http://darktips.com/facebook-unfriend-someone-without-actually-deleting-them-from-your-friend-list/hope this will help you clean your face book without them noticing you do it

 When you unfriend someone his likes, comments, and you will still see him on your friend's friend list.
You have to actually block him in order for all that to disappear.

Well I deleted the comments on my part and mutual photos, but it turns out that even if you block/unfriend someone on FB he's still visible to your friends, etc. So all his like don't just vanish, and so it's a must he does unlike everything he liked, which sounds like a tedious thing to do...Anyhow, thanks for trying to help.
Special thanks to Deathbunny, I couldn't agree mo!
much peace to you all x

Basically, you're trying to hide the fact you had a relationship--any relationship--from future partners and yourself?That's one of the reasons a common question on here starts with "I'm dating this girl and just found out she also dated...". Which is hilarious in many ways because it's like this whole emotional/dating virginity fetish that says women shouldn't have any experience at all to be attractive.Then there's the series of questions that tend to start "I like this guy, but we have [PROBLEM X] which I also had with my ex-boyfriend/husband/etc. I thought I was starting anew, but..." Which is because many people try to forget old relationships without ever LEARNING from them.But that's just me and my rant.Is it crazy to ask your ex to "clean" your Facebook account?Probably not. If your relationship is bad, he probably won't do it, just to spite you. If your relationship is okay, he'll probably do it but resent the hell out of it and you'll lose any good feelings between you two anyway because you're essentially saying "You are completely worthless to me."So, good luck with that.

 By furthering contact, you are just inviting him deeper into your life. Unfriend him, and move on. Like tennisstar88 said, "All his comments, likes, posts, will vanish like he never existed."
Good Luck!

 Don't ask him, just delete the comments yourself.

As for the photos - if its just him in them then post them, or bin the lot, don't look for reasons to speak to him it just prolongs the agony of getting over somebody.

 I agree with Tennisstar88... just unfriend him and block him and poof he's gone!

It's really not necessary to ask this of him.
Why ask him, when you can just delete and block him from FB??
All his comments, likes, posts, will vanish like he never existed.
