Its been a while dear bloggie. I’ve had soo much on my plate. All my blogs are neglected. Oh well. Life has been rather interesting so far. I attended a course that would increased my understanding my field. Now looking for a job without much success.
Anyway, looking back at my previous omg-i-just-broke-up-boo-hoo posts, I decided to write about something that has been in my drafts for some time now – The Blogger Breakup.
Bloggers are people who like to share their lifes (this does not include those niche bloggers who blog about tech, politics or whatever else that does not include personal lives). So when they are in love, they want to share it. And share it they do, with pics and lovey dovey posts where all is right with the world and the birds are singing. Its multiplied by two if BOTH parties are bloggers. So much so that sometimes they even use the same template (yea, yours truly was included *cringe*).
So what do you do when you break up? What do you do with all those photos, those posts and those little messages and stories that you write about each other? My ex used to put as his tagline that his life was sweetened by me – he changed it soon after of course – changed his whole template in fact. And the posts and photos? Do you delete them? Do you keep them? Or do you go back and edit every phrase of “my bf/gf” to “my ex-bf/ex-gf”?
The weirdest part (for me at least) is wondering if every post after that is related to you. If the other party posts lyrics, you’d think, “is that referring to me/us/him?” when in actual fact, she just wants to share that song so that her blog will get hits (thats what I did). Then you’d have to think, “will he/she have the wrong impression about this post?”
Is it only girls who think this way? I bet some (if not all) the guys also think this way too.
What do you think? If you and your ex were bloggers, what would you do?
