In this age of electronic communications and social networks, breaking up with someone can be even more of an ordeal than it has been in the past. A divorce or major breakup can be messy enough without the added reminders about what your ex is up to every hour of the day or who he or she is going out with on the weekends. Plus, there's always that risk that your ex is of The Crazy(tm) variety and is using your social networking updates to ensure that you cannot possibly move on with your life if he or she can help it.
