You should respect someone else's privacy. Try to let it go. You wouldn't like someone spying on your social media, wouldn't you?

I think that it's not okay to spy on your ex's, why because firstly that is invasion of privacy and secondly it means that you have never truly let go of the relationship yet. Besides lets say you do spy on your ex and you see them moving on or something along that lines it will only make you feel worst. So whats the purpose?

I did that for a while when I left my bf but it passed after some time. It's not ok to allow it to last for let's say months

It might give you a bit of closure, but it will definitely bring you down. If you actually want to get back together with them, talk to them. But overall, this will make you feel more paranoid about them and you may see something that will devastate you that could have easily been avoided. The out of sight, out of mind thing works really well with an ex.

no, you need to let go. it can become very unhealthy... and you will need to move on sooner or later.

I think you should just block that person from all of the social media accounts you know to prevent your self of doing that .

spying on ex's social media comes as a weakness to most of us. often we are curious as to weather they have already moved on, or how they are fairing with the breakup. it may and may not be okay as it could lead to more hurt if you discover something you weren't prepared to uncover. at the very least allow yourself to reach a point where you are calmer with the breakup first before you go spying.

I personally did try and get into their account a few times soon after my break up but the realized it that it will not help me come out of my relationship instead pull me deep inside and become more insure. I removed all links to my ex social media account so that I don't have any means to spy/check even if i am tempted.
