How often do you social media stalk your ex?

My boyfriend gave me his facebook password the other day, because he wanted to show me something on his newsfeed but couldn't be bothered to screenshot it.

I have two laptops (An old one I use mainly for browsing and watching netflix and a new one I mainly use for work) I signed into his facebook with my old laptop and forgot to sign out. This evening I went onto facebook with my old laptop (I only use it a couple of times) and forgot I was on his account until I started typing in the search bar and random people came up.

His most recent search was his ex. I know it doesn't mean he's cheating or anything like that, but I just felt uncomfortable because I knew they had a complicated and rocky relationship and it ended with her blocking him. Before we got together he mentioned she'd unblocked him after they'd bumped into each other at a pub.

However, I just feel a bit weirded out that he has been looking at her profile and they aren't even Facebook friends anymore, or have had any contact (as far as I'm aware). I'm not going to say anything to him because I know it's not that big a deal but I'm just curious how many people stalk their exes they aren't friends with on social media?

Well I did have photos of him in my PC right. But then it got a virus.

:colonhash::colonhash::colonhash:

So I had to clean it out but my sister cleaned it out without saving anything first I hate her!!!!!!!
I think my ex's photos gave my PC a virus. Maybe it's for the best I just didn't get a chance to say goodbye lol
Pfft, she doesn't post anything, and it just made me upset seeing it anyway so I removed her :dontknow:

Don't see why you would, it can only hurt...
No but I stalk people I have a crush on

I don't have facebook, no pictures, no contact details, I even told our mutual friend if he dares mention her casually i'll never speak to him again. I still manage a somewhat monthly tumblr stalk though....
Haha never - he blocked me on everything :lol: saved me the trouble come to think of it! Considering I don't even have facebook, it was quite easy to avoid him!

I know a movie where a woman dug through her ex's trash. Gag.

It's called Tokyo Trash Baby.
