Spying on ex's social media - since my breakup I can't stop from monitoring. Is that okay?

It won't make you feel better if you find out your ex is doing better than you expected. If you continue to 'spy' on them you will hold yourself back from moving on and becoming a happier person.

No you will only hurt yourself. It will only hurt if you keep looking at her/him especially when they post things about another significant other

Its not a good idea to do that, however, I understand, due to the fact, I used to do that very same thing with my ex. What I found out was that, the fact that I did spy on her social media, was making it hard for me to let her go and move on. What I did was defriend her, and then block her, that way I would not see or b tempted to look at anymore posts.

Sweetheart, it's not the best thing to do but it's part of getting over the breakup. You might want to try and remember the reasons why you broke up and try to really get over him.

That is normal. However, it is unhealthy. That only shows that you still hasn't move on. It hurts to let go, but sometimes, it hurts more to hold on.

No, it isn't okay. Not because you're violating his space but because it is a violation you wouldn't like or stand for. Also, it leads to obsessive thinking and immense amount of energy on something that isn't moving in that direction. It's best to get off social media if this is how one feels. That's probably the only way to get over the habit. And it is a habit, and like all habits, it's hard to break.

No, it is not okay to spy on him because he would know that you are doing that and his girlfriend will get mad

It's normal to want to check up on your ex after a break up. Try to gently ease yourself out of it and keep yourself occupied.
