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

I feel that it isn’t okay nor healthy to do so. Spying is just a nice way of saying stalking. When you let go of the hurt and pain truly you won’t feel the need to spy!

It is okay to be hurting, but becoming obsessive is not a good thing. Obsessiveness is an unhealthy habit to get into and will almost always result in you getting hurt again.

It's not healthy but I think everyone is guilty of doing that. If you feel yourself wanting to do it, do something else instead. You need to find distractions. Download a puzzle game on your phone or watch a funny video.

It is normal, we all have been through this phase but what is important here is why do you want to monitor their activities. Seeing their pictures or statuses is only going to hurt you. Why do you want to hurt yourself? It is not the time to focus on what they are doing in their lives, you should try to keep the focus on yourself and move on in your life.

Not really, You are not letting yourself go from the past. Dont look back, you can only look forward.

I think the temptation is there. However, it is a bad habit that needs to be broken. I think it makes it difficult to move forward. Try blocking him. Remember the phrase "Out of sight, out of mind". Good Luck!

Its incredibly normal to do this after breakups. In today's world its hard not to get away with the amount of social media options we have. I cant think of a person who hasn't monitored their ex's social media at some point. To answer your question, yes! Perfectly normal. For the sake of your well-being however it's best not to make a routine of this. It makes the process of getting over them last much longer than it need to.

No,because he will think that your stalking him and that is really really creepy so no. not O.K. at all

that's not healthy. the only way you will find closure and the ability to move forward into a healthy relationship (when you are ready) is to find closure in letting go. If you continue to spy on your ex you're not allowing yourself the chance to heal and find closure.

At first, it's okay it is very natural and i would do it too. Though, it is not healthy to do it forever, at some point you should stop and move on, it's okay if you can't because that is where you can talk to us for some help :)
