I just read through another post about checking up on your ex through online social networking sites. Even though we know its wrong, its this nasty habit that I'm sure we would all like to kick. So why do we keep doing it?
Its been over 6 months since my break up and although I feel that I'm back to my normal self and have started dating again, usually about once a month I get this urge to look up my ex on social networking sites that I know he has. I can't say why I suddenly get the urge to do so. He completely betrayed me and I don't want to speak with him or have him in my life at all anymore but I still feel tempted to look him up and see what he's up to. Maybe its to confirm my thoughts that he's a jerk or maybe that his life is hard now? I dont know. We were together for almost 2 years and it was my first serious relationship. I've had an urge since friday, and so far I've been good. Writing this post is me venting but also to get support and know that others can relate?

I think it's curiousity.
I do it too, but I don't do it just to exes. I do it to cousins I barely talk to, friends that I fell out of touch with, etcetera. Don't feel bad about it, a lot of people do it, and we do it because it's simply human to be curious about people you know (or knew).

Hi cosmostar5,.
I try not to do anything I wouldn't want my ex doing to me. Even if he's already done it.
