For what reasons have you unfriended on Facebook?

Offence? Cleaning out inactive friendships? Your jealous partner insisted on it? How about when you are unfriended? How do you take it?

Tbh, I don't take it that well. I've had several unfriend me and while we weren't terribly close, I can't help but take it as an unpleasant and permanent dissolution of whatever friendship we did have (and I have hardly anyone on my list I've not met in person). The most recent occurrence was prompted by a comment to her post that was a URL to a Snopes article. It didn't come w/any snide remarks of "fake news!" (although that is the implication) or any words at all. Just the URL. In other cases, I have no idea what I did.
Come to think of it, that last one could have been bipolar. In fact, I can account for another unfriend who [i]is[/i] bipolar. I doubt all unfriend cases can be explained as mental illness.
Yes, I'm aware that some people delete their accounts or clean out their friends list.
The only reason I would unfriend someone is if he seriously offended me or our relationship was so tenuous that the unfriending would have little meaning anyway. Well, so far I've never done that. So what reasons have [i]you[/i] had for unfriending on Facebook?

I think you think too much.

i unfriended an ex because he broke my heart after many years. then when i lost my shit and told people on fb what an ass he was, some mutual friends unfriended me because they didn’t really like what i had to say about said bf. oh well.

people who post nothing but negative get deleted. I'm gonna delete some family members soon. Tired of seeing dumb videos and belligerent posts. I hate feeling 'obligated' to friend a family member when they send a request. I have't seen some of these folks in so many years.
@iamnikki you might consider unfollowing a happy medium

i have also refused friend requests too btw. one b$tch from work requested me NOPE. one of my inlaws who my hubby has a hard time with requested me NOPE. if i don’t trust them, i don’t accept their request
@NiftyWhite refusal goes down much better with me

I keep my circle small but have several people that I went to high school or college with and they never interact. Ever. No likes, no comments, nothing. Those are the ones I eventually get rid of.

I un friended a cousin because she was negative and talked down to me.

I unfriend an ex because he stalked me.

Unfriended a few people because they offended me or did something to offend me.

Just like real life, people come and go, for various reasons, I just let it be and the ones who do stay are the ones that truly matter.
