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

There is nothing wrong with having curiosity, asking yourself "What´s up with her/him?". Continuously spying on someone´s media can and will only be harmful to you. Moving on will be significantly harder with constant reminders of the other´s life as it triggers emotions that we can't really control. Peek at your own risk but if it´s not going to help you better not even have the temptation and block or delete that person´s media; if you simply can't do it, ask a friend to do it for you, but one you can definitely trust.

I've done that too. Once you've fully moved on you won't feel the urge to anymore. Try working harder to focus on yourself, which is what's really important.

I think it's something that most people are guilty of after a relationship however it isn't particularly helpful or productive. Social media only shows what that person wants the world to see.

No it is not. You wont move on if you keep doing so. Please either delete or block him to stop yourself.

No, it isn't. I understand maybe you went through a rough break up? Would you like to talk about that.

No. That is considered stalking spying is never a good nor right thing to do. It is very wrong and you could get caught.

Thats completely fine as you are not over the breakup. However, in time you must reduce the amount of spying as this can become unhealthy for you.

It's normal to want to see what your ex is doing but don't let it become a habit. Watching other people and envying their new life is unhealthy.

How long have you been separated? It'd be normal if you just broke up. It's part of the denial stage - the checking up on him/her. It wouldn't be normal if you broke up a couple of years ago, and you're still hung up on him/her.
