This started as an "I am grateful" post [I Am Going Through a Breakup]

I am grateful for growth and change and movement. It's weird that I always tend to be more productive when I'm single than when I'm in a relationship. It's like I channel all of my energy into making the relationship work instead of leaving some for myself.

... I should probably seek help for that. Lol.

Anyways, I am thankful for one of the cleanest breakups that I have ever had. I only cried twice. Maintained my boundaries (although I was pressured to move them for him), and I feel really good about it. Yeah, I might have let the relationship drone on a little too long, but I am still proud that I was able to land on my feet afterwards.

I'm done dating this guy, but now I'm left wondering if I should leave him on my social medias or delete/unfriend the connections altogether. Like, I said I'm ready to move on, and seeing his posts this early into the breakup or allowing him to see what I'm up to this early in the breakup doesn't feel like a clean break to me. I think it will make things more messy, but I also don't want to seem immature by "unfriending" or "blocking" him until I'm ready to see those things again.

What do you think I should do in this situation?

Its a matter of what your comfortable with, your not together now and removing his profile is another step in the moving on process for you both doesnt mean your childish at all

@warnbrobeachlover1 Thank you. Geez,it's crazy that I'm still not comfortable doing what I'm comfortable with. Lol. I tend to think about how others might perceive it or if they'd be comfortable with it first. Thank you for this insight.

@wtfgirl001 Anytime , and dont worry what others think they arent in your shoes and if they have a problem with your decision's thats on them and not on you , if they are judging you instead of supporting you , hope things work out happy to contribute if i can in some small way

Do what your heart tells you. It has worked well with the rest of the breakup, so why not trust it with the last step too?

@NerdyPotato I guess my brain is telling me to try to look "mature" in this situation and is afraid of how others might perceive me, while my heart tells me that I should disconnect with him from the socials for now. Thank you for the advice.
