Many people do this, but it doesn't make it okay. I think you should work on stopping, and eventually moving on. Holding on to your past helps you in no way possible.

I think it's normal to look at what's going on in their lives since they left you, but don't obsess over it, try to focus on yourself and your own life, but I would say it is normal and okay in moderation.

It's not illegal, but if you find something that upsets you, it will inevitably not be worth it. While we can't quite our need to feel like we are still in their live, we do need to recognize maybe it's better that way. You should let them be, as hard as it is.

if you want to move on. is not okay then because its like you touch the wound again and again. and then you cant forget him. but if you think both of you can get back together and you dont want to move on its absolutely okay

Its common to cope with a breakup this way- Its hard going through breakups when you really cared about the person you were with.

As long as you aren't doing anything illegal, it's okay.

Although you still care for this person checking their social media will only prolong the healing process for you. The best thing to do is go about your own life and enjoy yourself. Cut contact on social media. What you don't know can't hurt you and concentrate on doing things that make you happy.

If you keep picking at the wound, it will never heal. It might be hard, but it will save you so much pain if you stop focusing on what your ex is doing, and focus on you. Put yourself first!

I know how tough this can be-- I've done it in the past myself. However, in the long run-- doing this isn't ideal. It keeps you in the past. Doing this bars you from moving on improving your on your own happiness and betterment. Try instead to focus on you and your health instead of worrying about those in the past.

Spying on your ex's social media is not a healthy past-time. Instead of spying on their social media, why not take up a new hobby, start reading a new book, or go for a walk? Finding peace and moving on can certainly be hard, but take your time.
