An old ex has blocked me on Instagram but uses a fake account to watch my stories every week?

[Anonymous]

My ex of 5 years blocked me on IG recently. I have gotten used to it because he had a weird pattern of blocking and unblocking me although we never messaged. Last summer he asked me anonymously why I had been drawing pictures of Jim because he thought they depicted us. He has been using a fake account to follow me on IG. I removed him as a follower however he’s still watching my stories. A few times he liked and unliked my pics. Is that some kind of obsession?

After 5 years that is definitely an obsession, you usually get over an ex after, around, half the time you spent mental energies on them (usually it means half the time the relationship, but that works for crushes too). So the more he spends energies in checking you, the more he delays the time he will get over you. You should either confront him about this or find a way to block his ways to contact you. For example, make your profile private, or block all the accounts you find suspicious and instantly after change nickname completely, and profile pic. So that if he digs through your contacts (which he probably remembers, probably he checked some of them too), he will have a hard time finding your profile through the list of their followers.
You should do this because imagine if you get a partner, will he harass you? Will he stalk all his life on internet? Will he try to interfere? Or could he do something stupid? You better stay completely separated for a while so that he is forced to get over you at some point.
