I'm having a hard time deciding what to do about Facebook. I really don't want to follow W's life without me, but I do want us to co-parent well. I like some of her relatives and don't want to burn bridges with them. Some people I know have quit FB. Others have continued on as if nothing happened. Others have unfriended their spouse and their spouse's family. What have people here done? Part of me is leaning against quitting--because it's a way that I keep connected to family and friends. The bitter part of me wants the W to see that life is great without her, but that's the part that hasn't completely detached. Then again, the thought of completely ridding myself of FB is appealing--at least until the wounds have completely healed.
I'm 32, and I got rid of FB 11 years ago. It's a time waster. In your sitch, it's a pain causer. I'm sure if your goal is "co-parenting well", you certainly can achieve that without FB.
Getting rid of FB, or at least deleting her and her family/friends, will help you forget about her and move on. If your W ever got curious, she'd find other ways to learn what you were up to.

It is not things that bother us, but the stories we tell ourselves about things.
