Just wondering what's the range of normal (also, are you happily married? do you google one particular ex a lot?)

| I don't Google any of them. I have no ill feelings toward them, no any lingering feelings of love. I wish them well and go about my life without much thought for them. |

Me too. Every once in a while out of boredom I will Google someone but that's it. The past is the past. But I will admit that for a couple of people where there was really no closure, I would really like to know what was going through their mind, maybe out of curiosity. |

| I have googled a couple of mine a few times. They were the ones I really had a thing for and it did not end well with one of them. I have done it when really bored and not much going on in my life. :o) |

OP here,thanks.
from what I can tell, DH googles one particular ex frequently,and she's someone he's never really gotten over, in a way. he's not in contact with her, so I let it go, but it does bother me at some level. I wonder what the need is... |

I google my ex every so often. To be honest, I started doing it because I was curious if my ex had been arrested for anything yet (he had a drug problem many years ago when we dated). Turns out that he had. Sad.

| I google my ex with whom I have a child regularly. I feel it is my responsibility to check up on him. I google an ex from college about once a year, he has been in and out of rehab over the years and genuinely worry that he will die. |

| I have an ex who I am completely over, but he has a substantial web presence, twitter feed, etc., and I confess I check them maybe a couple of times a week. It's hard to explain, but while I'm completely in love with my husband and have zero desire to be with my ex, I nonetheless have an irresistible urge to know what my ex is up to. Just ... I don't know, nostalgia? Other possibilities for how my life might have turned out? My husband knows, and I'd stop in a minute if it bothered him. |

He needs to grow up and realize he has a wife. |

And she also needs to grow up and stop monitoring him. |

| most of my exes are still friendly. I don't hang out with them one on one, but will catch up at a party or maybe once a year via email. there is one ex in particular who I never stayed friends with because we didn't get along. I sometimes get curious about what he is up to and since he is very present on the internet (we are not facebook friends) it's easy to google him and see what he is doing. I think I probably search for his name too often (compared to the norm). all that being said, I am happily married with kids. |

Every 6 months or so if I'm bored & nosey and something makes me remember the past.
I'm currently contemplating divorce with my H due to an affair. |

| I've Googled some just to see if I was right about them. One was particularly troubled but I felt bad for dumping him because of it. It turned out he got married to someone who looked pretty nice but killed himself anyway--on his 27th birthday. |
