Sometimes curiosity will drive us to keep tabs on old flames. Yet, it prevents us from ever fully moving on. Find a way to reach closure--then, press forward. This habit can prove harmful to future relationships.

It's a natural thing to do for people after breakup, but you should know when to stop and start moving forward with your life too.

It is perfectly okay to be curious to know how your ex is doing, unless you allow it interfere with your everyday activities. Although, it's best to not know, remind yourself every time you snoop around that, you are looking at the person's account, just for information. This information will not help you in anyway. If you keep this basic concept in mind, it's okay to look around their social media in the same way that you'd look around a distant friend's account..

It depends on why you are doing it and how you do it. While on one hand it can help some people move on faster, for others it can create more confusion. The best idea is to ask yourself why you continue to check out their social media. If you are honest with your answers to yourself, you may be able to see that you do not need to do that often or even at all. There is a point where it may become too much, in which case you should ask yourself what do you really get out of spying on their social media accounts! Hope this helps!🙂

Yea, it's normal it shows you still care, maybe tell her how you still feel. Or if it was for an unsettling reason maybe just let it blow over.

No. Don't ever bother. If you are so concerned about someone you need to spy on their social media websites, you already know that you can't trust them, and it will just hurt you more. No one has ever looked at someone else's Facebook messages, and said, well that went better than expected.

There's nothing wrong about it. Everyone has done the same at least once or more in their lives. I have done it too. but this will just make you more sad or feel like you are wasting your time. You will start to put every his words in your situation which is wrong in most of cases. Sometimes you just have to let it go and look for other things. Try to seek for other activities you can enjoy. Exercising, travelling, watching netflix or even just talking a little walk outside when the weather is nice! Dress up and go shopping! Meeting new people or stay with people who give you comfort. In my case, i started making soybean candles :) try to find something you can distract yourself from him or her. you can also give it a good time to think about what has ruined the relationship and what still bothers you after the breakup. Then you will figure out what to do next. You can move on or talk to your ex in person. I hope this helps! ♥

It's okay - but it won't help you get past or the closure you need to get past the breakup. In the end, it'll only bring up hurt or angry feelings that hold you back from moving on.
