Social media

Anybody give up social media like facebook? I know a few that deactivated theirs and switched to Instagram or Twitter. My SO and I "broke up" and gotten back together 3 times and I honestly think the whole facebook official thing is stupid and I don't need anybody to know my business. I planned on telling him and just keep contact over the phone but he doesn't like that idea. It's like he always needs to see what I like and post. Should I just go ahead and deactivate?
