Was this childish?

As I have posted before, my ex broke up with me 10 days ago and we have had no contact since. It's been very hard but I refuse to break the no contact rule as I need it in order to help move on...I guess it's the out of sight out of mind thing. Anyway, with myspace, facebook and instant messaging everywhere, I decided today that it was time that I remove him completely from my instant messaging contact list and my facebook page. I should have done it the day he broke up with me but I couldn'tbring myself to do it. If I ever want to go back online again to talk to my friends I needed to do this. I know I shouldn't even care but I do, I've been crying all afternoon about it. I guess it just makes it more real or something. I'm also scared he may think it was childish for me to delete him from all that stuff, which I also shouldn't care about but I do and it feels awful. I'm really more venting here than looking for answers to my question. Maybe it was childish, maybe not, either way I needed to do it. Thanks for listing.

No--not childish, it's necessary! You took an important step forward in the healing process.

It is not childish at all--you need to do this to move on and you are doing the right thing. Who cares what he thinks??!!

Welcome to the board smw81,


I second the 'who cares what he thinks?' comment.
