I think it's normal..lots of people do it. The question is why do you do that ? Are you still in love with him or you just want to satisfy your curiosity about how's the ex doing? ...

It's never okay to invade someone's privacy. It's understandable that you may not be over them, but you have to let go and move on.

It's okay, but it's not healthy. You have to let go and move on at some point. Spying on them will only bring you pain because they're moving on and you are not.

Not ok. It will bring back memories and feelings that will make your life had. This makes moving on had and may make your new found love to fade away also. You stand to loose if you do that.

no it isnt, as it is bad for both you and your ex. You have a mental block to move on, and your ex has a obstable in moving on.

I use to do that, but I always felt worse after. By stopping that I moved on faster and began to meet new people! It's okay to do at first but moving on is a better thing to do for you and your emotion unhappiness.

Its normal to check in a little bit, but you don't want to constantly focus and obsess over the relationship. it will just make you feel bad.

In my experience, looking on a an ex's or former friends social media only causes unnecessary rumination and pain. How do you feel when you look at/monitor their profile? That is a pretty good indication of if this is something positive or negative for you, personally. If it makes you feel better or helps you heal, that is one thing but if you leave those times feelings sad or worse than when you signed on, it maybe isn't helping you in your healing process. I personally block and completely cut off people i'm hurting over in social media b/c it halts my growth and moving on process.

When you focus on what your ex is doing, it only makes it harder on you to move forward with your life. When breakup happens, there needs to be a clean break of contract and monitoring. There needs to be understanding of what happened, why it happened, and what can happen currently. We all can learn from our experiences in life, whether they are good or bad. Watching what your ex is doing will only hold you back from focusing of growing as a person, and moving forward with your life.

I totally understand you might feel sad and well curious to see what your ex partner is up to now that you both aren't together but don't stress about it! What isn't meant to be never works out. Just wait for the "right one".
