Do you stalk your ex on social media?

Question

And why?

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

Yes and no!

I'm not the kinda person to spy other people on social media, and I don't do that to most of my previous partners, 'cause why would I, but then there's this one ex that's an exception. I didn't use to cyber stalk him but then I realized he was doing it to me and that we both still had feelings for each other. Our break up was due to a stupid misunderstanding during an argument and I think we've both been too proud to admit our mistakes and talk it trough, even though we still want to be with each other. So I guess we've both been on the fence of saying something, making something happen, and we're going back and forth about contacting/trying to figure out if we should get back together, and just cyber stalk each other to see how the other one is doing, not ready to let go just yet.

Nope we were facebook friends but now we're not even that anymore. We kind of got into a small fight which lead to me saying we need to cut ties again and just stop talking to each other completely. Long story short, nobody is going to question my faith or beliefs cause I don't reach their standards. So I told him peace out and good bye. I don't hate him, I have nothing against him and I wish him the best in the world and that God continues to do amazing things in his life. But we just can't click like that anymore.. just can't, sorry.

My sister and I sometimes send each other screenshots of things about our exes (who were brothers). We make jokes and laugh at them, and thats horrible blah blah blah. But the assholes cheated on us and we're petty.

He doesn't have any social media. So there is no way to stalk him at. lol

Cavemen would crawl into isolation when they lost love, not eat.. they'd also still try to find their lover long after they'd gone... We're emotional beings at our core... anyone who say they don't keep tabs, who grew up in the digital age, either was in a platonic, blah rel'ship that was more about convenience or just hasn't experienced the kinda love yet that makes ya so happy & scared at the same time that when it ends, ya feel unbearable pain... ya can't help but monitor their social media accounts like a drug addict trying Hold onto what he believes to be the greatest high he'll ever have in his life...

I will be honest, I have. I was in a relationship for a few years and it ended poorly. Not cheating or anything, just parted on bad terms after an argument about finances. I would google her name every now and then when she popped into my mind but I was glad to see her happy and healthy mostly.

LifeEqualsLove · Answer

I think when it was still 'fresh' like maybe 1 or 2 months after the break up, I would look on his facebook, just to see if he wrote anything on how he was feeling. After a while, I moved on and forgot about it because I actually felt like a stalker lol.

ladsin · Answer

I said no, but to an extent I do. We broke up just a week or two ago, but prior to the breakup their depression and anxiety were worsening so I want to make sure they're safe. Also, I still care deeply for them, and looking at them brings me comfort, but also sadness. I never look up my other exes though, so it may just be a phase.

Apoteket · Answer

I'm still friends with my exes. And I do not stalk them, if something pops up on my newsfeed I will check it out but that's all.

ddy0974 · Answer

When I separated with my ex wife. The first thing I did was remove her from social media platforms. Facebook, twitter, instagram, blah, blah, blah. I felt we needed space to deal with our own emotions, and feelings regarding our failed relationship. She was upset, which surprised me. But even before I moved out, I was seeing both of us start posting memes, or shuttle statements directed at each other. I didn't want it played out online.

Anonymous · Answer

I have stalked my boyfriends ex dates yes and he knows as well

Anonymous · Answer

I actually have almost all the passwords of my ex, so sometimes I do that. But for the record we're besties and he knows about it every time.

Anonymous · Answer

I was like checking him everyday or twice three times a day when I first broke up after 3 years of relationship. But now, it's been 3.5 years since breakup and I am still single, and I dont even wonder what he is doing. In fact I didn't even think about him till now I read your question.

RJGraveyTrain · Answer

No. I genuinely don't give a fuck what he's doing. Not out of animosity but we don't talk anymore.

Mishthefish · Answer

Yes , because I'm a curious person. If my ex gets a new girlfriend> I want to see what she looks like. Haha I want to see if he upgraded or downgraded.

chaxle · Answer

Yeah. I'm not friends with her anymore so I never see what she's up to, and sometimes I get curious about what's she's doing. Don't really want to be friends again. I just think it would be awkward, even after a few years being apart.

Annewill82 · Answer

I kind of did when I still had feelings. We've been broken up over a year so no. I still occasionally look on people who used to be in my life pages though

shoujohell · Answer

Idgaf what he's doing. Not my problem anymore :p I used to... For a few weeks after the breakup. But it was painful. Don't do it.

torken · Answer

Stalk is way to strong of a word.  I.. notice them. I dunno. Its weird right? They used to be a huge part of your life, and now they're not. I wanna know how people change.

Hanna2 · Answer

Because we are still friends on facebook and I see his updates on my newsfeed, I check it out. Nothing to be jealous of but just to see what's going on

Euph0ria · Answer

Depending on how the relationship ended, and if we are still able to be friends, or if my ex is a vitriolic type of person, I will often block/ban so they can't cause any more damage in my life, and put them out of sight and mind.

AthenaAnne · Answer

No cause fuck that bitch he had the best and now I'm gone so why should he deserve my time

NyomiMcClinton · Answer

I use to do this but all it did was annoy me. So I dont do this anymore. Stalking meaning you have not gotten over the person yet.

SarahsSummer · Answer

I'm too busy and satisfied in my current relationship to gaf about what he's doing.

mamamai · Answer

One is still my friend. We broke up because of distance. The others I kept on social media so they could see how fabulously happy my life is without them ;) I'm a petty person

loveyoulikexo · Answer

Just wanna know if his life is better than me or not now:))

azzntittiz · Answer

Of course, I want to see him be miserable, what a stupid question.

Anonymous · Answer

No. I have thought about it but usually even overthinking what i might see takes me to some kind of dark place in my mind and all it does is upset me. Like constantly picking at some kind of open wound. Not worth it!

DamonGill · Answer

Yeah i kind of want her to do well even if she was a bitch to me. And also want to see if she ever learns from her ways before.

ariadneR · Answer

I did right after we broke up, like I am talking the next couple days. After a week though, no. I tell myself to be strong and occupy myself with something

MadeInAmerica · Answer

I don't have any social media accounts also if I did I wouldn't waste my time on doing that. Way better things to do.

JimRSmith · Answer

One of many reasons I don't bother with social media. In this instance, I think it actively slows down the process of moving on...

didigo182 · Answer

Im do not stalk nobody.

But like occasionally (time to time) more for curiosity than anything i check the profile.
The same way i "caught" a ex checking mine (her roomate told a friend and this friend (my co-worker) told me. lol

Anonymous · Answer

My advice is not stalk a ex on social media. The reason i won't stalk a ex on social media cause i don't feel like possibly end up in jail cause this day and age just never know.

Mjbabe · Answer

Too painful I guess you will have a few moments when you wanna look but you start to realize it just causes you more pain blocking is always the way to go for me unless the breakup was a mutual decision

Anonymous · Answer

I like to check up on them from time to time, just to make sure that I don't regret breaking up with them for what ever reason

ohayoo · Answer

im kind of sapiosexual and most of the girls i know are not really the kind of girls that truly attract me tbh so i dont think i have a crush yet

Anonymous · Answer

I've done that with some and honestly it's the most counter productive thing you can do, at least if you wanna move forward.  Even if your ex isn't dating someone, you'll be jealous to some degree.
