Hi all, just looking for some input/advice on what is plaguing me as a difficult decision...though I feel it really should be quite simple!

Long story short, my boss added me as a friend on FB and IG soon after I started at this job in 2016 and I relented being the newbie and unaware of what a stalker she was. We don't really mesh IRL but she will often reference something I posted on IG (but she didn't actively 'like' - insert eye roll). I don't use FB much at all but IG i love as it's only close friends and family, but will sometimes share some of those to FB 3-4 x/year.

I unfollowed her on IG today and already feel way better about not seeing her uninspiring crap on my feed - yay!

I am going on mat leave later this year (haven't announced the pregnancy to her yet) and am already excited about the idea of unfriending her then, but my question is, can I just block her on IG from now? Since she is such a stalker she will def notice a 'restricted view' on FB, but maybe I could do that down the line since I don't use it that often...but when I have a crappy week (usually thanks to her awful style of micromanaging) I no longer feel safe on IG to vent. I got really close to posting something very close to venting the other week and she passively-aggressively mentioned it the next day and I was sufficiently grossed out by her lack of professionalism/stalkerness.

I have many previous work acquaintances on social media but only those whom i have had good relationships with and who i would have a drink with outside of the office...after I have left the company!! This whole being friends with the boss thing is new and unnerving to me!

I know i'm probably over-thinking this, but would love to hear any thoughts or similar experiences! Also keen to hear if anyone has unfriended while starting mat leave? This is a bit more dicey as it muddies that water but i'm in no way prepared to stay friends with her long term.

Thanks in advance!!
