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

i think prying on what your ex could be doing by browsing her social media pages could easily turn into obsession, and you may find yourself consumed, anxious and even paranoid; thinking of all the possibilites of where she is, what she's doing and who she could be talking to. i don't know if it's a question of it being okay or not, but more if you think it's a healthy for you to be doing, and what you could be doing instead.

In this day and age it is almost like an addiction to stalk every single thing that another human being does. When you date someone you are quite used to seeing their every move. An "internet footprint". However when things go south what do you do? Unfriend? Unfollow? Block? Probably all of these for our own sanity. At some point you goota stop. You dont need to know who he's going to the movies with. And you dont need to know who she parties with. Past is better left in the past and this habit has to be curbed like ripping off a bandage. If hes blocked force yourself to keep the person blocked

Breaking the emotional link with your ex can be hard and spying his or her profiles on social media it's a way of keeping this link alive. The good news is that the sooner you broke this kind of links, the faster you will heal your wounds. You have the power to decide your recovery speed ;)

It's pretty normal, a bad habit most people tend to have, you miss them and are focused on what might be going on in their life. But it's important to remember that you have to eventually move on, as they have.

I understand your situation. It is perfectly normal. You just have to give yourself some time. And eventually you’ll move on.

It's not the best thing emotionally for you, however, I cannot admit I haven't dabbled myself. The best thing for you is to take a step back and avoid their profile.

You are not the only one who does this, many others spy on their ex partners social media. However, stopping may help you move on. You may see something that will upset you, it is best to steer clear of the potential hurt by avoiding their social media.

Sometimes that happens, sometimes it helps you move on. He was your other half/lover at one point. I can understand why you're doing that. I personally think it's normal.

Of course that's ok! I think we all do it from time-to-time. You will eventually get over him/her and stop spying on their social media pages when you are ready to let go and move on.

It's not a great idea to do this because he's your ex and you wanna be able to get over him so you don't hurt yourself in the long run. there's nothing wrong or unusual about checking in on his personal life occasionally, but I'd be careful to not get hung up on it.
