Should I be worried that my boyfriend ex keeps watching my business Instagram stories?

[Anonymous]

I have my personal accounts locked down but as a realtor I have a public business instagram where I display open house information etc. She has been watching my stories ever since my boyfriend and I made our relationship Facebook official. We have been dating for 8 months and just put it on Facebook this last week. My boyfriend hadn’t been with her for over a year and half prior to meeting me and he ended it with her. It just makes me uneasy that she is watching what I’m up to so closely. Should I be concerned that she is so interested in me?

on a side note I’ve asked my boyfriend about this too and he said not to worry. If she contacts him he plans to ignore her and he said there is zero reason for me to be concerned

Hmm I don't know, her watching your stuff all the time after you guys went public on Facebook is kinda weird if you ask me. Like you said it's been over a year since your boyfriend even dated her so why is she so interested now?

I'd definitely still keep an eye on it just in case. The good thing is he said he'd ignore her if she contacts him so that's a good sign he isn't interested anymore. But you never know what some exes might try, ya know?

I'd say trust your boyfriend for now since he said it's nothing to worry about. But also make sure all your stuff is set to private on Instagram too just in case. And maybe make a mental note of if she's liking your posts or just watching random stories. That could tell you more if she's just casually looking or actively watching.

I'd give it some more time, but if it really starts bugging you then talk to your boyfriend again. Hopefully she loses interest soon! Try not to stress too much, but also trust your gut feeling on it. Keep me updated on if she keeps being weird!

Firstly I think you are right to be cautious. Your boyfriend is missing some very clear cut 'stalker' signs, and who knows what else?
That isn't to say she is going to stalk you, but if she IS some kind of psycho she knows every move you make and everywhere you're going to be, (assuming you put all that information on the site) and that shouldn't be taken lightly.
Maybe consider removing your relationship details on social media and see what she does?

Correct she will know exactly what homes and what times my open houses are tomorrow for example. My boyfriend is telling me to not worry about her that he wants nothing to do with her but should I be? It’s so hard because I’ve been burned by other guys in the past. He has been super honest with me with everything the last 8 months and I’ve met all of his close friends and family.

It goes back to what I said up there.. Your boyfriend isn't the problem here.. it is she could be dangerous and you have NO idea.. He clearly isn't much help in this situation.
What you've highlighted is EVERYTHING I see as wrong with social media.
If it were me? Work and personal would have no link whatsoever.. nobody would be able to match the two up..

That is a weird business they are running there. Most businesses here have a 100% ban on ALL social media.
