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

It is OK for the first couple weeks but after that you should really move on and let them go and find somebody else take your mind off your ex that's what I will do

That is absolutely okay unless it doesn't affect you in a bad way. You can always check up on your ex and how he's choice has been degraded, Lol that makes me happy and i'm sure it will make you happy too. However, after a point it is meaningless to waste time on your ex who's probably forgotten your existence.

There's nothing /wrong/ with it, but it's not good for moving-on purposes. I would block his contacts, unfollow things, etc. Distance is the only way you can heal-- constant reminders do not work well. To let a scab heal, you can't pick at it

Everyone is guilty of a little stalking of maybe a crush but your ex I think maybe it's time to move past them especially if they are you're ex if the feeling if not mutual to reunite then move on you'll find someone else trust me for now just surround yourself with positive things

It's not whether it's okay or not, more so that you're making it harder for yourself to get over your ex. Instead of monitoring social media, how about do something nice for yourself? Hang out with your friends? Staring at your laptop screen, or phone screen, is just prolonging your pain.

No it's not.. it makes you think about her/him and you should stop doing it.. it is important to stop spying him if you really want to move on

That's generally normal, but you shouldn't be doing that. Try blocking him, so that you don't see his posts and what not.

It's not ok, for either of you. In my experience it only keeps the hurt going. Letting that go, the 'spying', is one step closer to letting yourself heal from that hurt.

That is completely normal to do! It is not easy to completely stop thinking about your ex right after a breakup, but it helps to reduce how often you monitor them!!

For a couple weeks/months its completely normal. But eventually you have to stop so you can move on with your life, and find someone new
