I am very new to the whole FB thing. So I can only offer limited advice. If you do not want to unfriend him, then just ignore him. Perhaps wean yourself off FB and find other avenues of contacting friends in real life.
Delete him. I know I had to just for the reason that seeing his updates were making me go crazy. I deleted him 7 months ago. Mind you in that 7 months we still broke NC and got together. But it is done now. But my point is it really doesnt help having a tie to him of any kind. It will only hurt you more unless you can handle it. But in my case I just couldnt bare seeing his pictures etc.

Welcome to the board. I would definitely delete him. Dont worry about what the others might say. Maybe they wont even notice. Do this for your own sanity. You must come first right now. That's what i have to tell myself almost everyday.
I'm with everyone else. Delete him. If you want to end your A, which it sounds like you do because you have been lurking on this site, then you need to start somewhere. I understand how you feel about raising suspicion. If you have been involved in an A then you probably have experience making excuses for many situations. If suspicion arises, you will find a way to get through it.
Please keep communicating with us. I have received so much help from others like me. We will help you through this!
If you're truly ready to end it, then I say BLOCK him. You do this through your privacy settings. What this does is remove all evidence of you across FB to him only as well as the reverse...you will no longer see ANYTHING he writes, posts, etc. It's as if he no longer exists. This will not affect your mutual friends in any way. Last I knew, you will have to do this first because if he blocks you, you will have to contact Facebook to have him blocked (since he no longer exists to you on FB). I had to do this with "someone" so I know.
If you have any questions, contact me and I'll try to help.
I can't tell you how much it means to have so many supportive people in my corner.....I feel so much better knowing I have people who are in this too and struggling.
