Why would an ex still follow me on social media a couple of years later when we both have new partners now?

We guys are lazy. Why take the time to change who we follow? Plus, there might be something interesting to hear about.

[OceanGirl21]

It’s more about whether someone’s updates bother someone or not. He’d view mine and post competitive stories in return (I’d hear this via friends in common since I didn’t view his).

He was clearly using more effort than me there.

Lol, i don't even know who I follow on social media and honestly don't care, perhaps your ex is the same and you're the only one who cares. Most people our age have moved passed being obsessed with social media and followers.

[OceanGirl21]

Well if that’s true why talk immaturely… you seem to confuse basic curiosity with obsession for starters.

I rarely use social media myself but it’s natural to pay a certain level of attention to some people, unless you’re a robot or ended on bad terms and you’re past that type of ridiculousness.

I communicate just find thank you. Sure, let's call it common "curiosity"to be hooked on an ex who follows you on social media at your age.

Lol, sure. Let's just pretend it's "natural" to be looking who follows you on social media constantly and that is something someone who uses it rarely does. I'm not a robot and I don't check my followers because again - unlike you in joy a fricking child obsessed with followers and my ex. Especially not when in a relationship.

"I rarely use social media but he looks at my updates, and I'm not obsessed with him but I just know he does". 😂😂😂

Have fun being obsessed with the ex. You'll probably have another one soonish.

Some people don't have the typical insecurities to stop being friends with someone they once dated.

[OceanGirl21]

I agree, I think once the emotions have cooled off after some space being able to be friends shows a certain level of maturity and respect.

Not always, but sometimes people wanna make sure they made the right decision. So they follow their ex to see if they changed or not

[AI Opinion]

Ah, the mystery of the ex lurking on social media! 😏 They might still follow you out of curiosity, nostalgia, or simply because they enjoy seeing your updates. It's like checking an old book to see what unfolds next, without buying a new copy. If it doesn't ruffle any feathers in your current love life, enjoy the casual likes and keep posting fabulous pics! 📸✨
