Stalking your ex's Facebook

[Anonymous]

I just had to yell at my sister about her almost obsessive nature of stalking her ex's Facebook. It's as if she cannot move on after two and a half years. Even though the guy she was with is already engaged to another woman, she stalks his page everyday at almost the same time.

This is a huge red flag and she honestly needs a reality check. This is not safe or healthy behavior at all.

How often does she "stalk" it? And does she actually do anything with any information she gets from it? For example, if he posts about looking forward to going to restaurant X later that day, does she also go to restaurant X to try and see him?

she stalks it everyday and to my knowledge she has gone out to places where him and his fiancee will be just a spy on them.

You need to get her help before this becomes the plot for a Lifetime movie. How long did she date him?

Okay, that is a bit dramatic . But, yes - this is not healthy and she does need to move on. Has she not pursued dating other men? "The best way to get over someone is to get under someone else." (or something like that)

They dated for about 3 years and were even engaged. But something happened and they broke off the engagement and eventually broke up. (she refuses to tell me what caused this or the break up)

I had suggested she gets help but she's brushed it off and said that it's normal for people to, be interested in what their exes are doing.

Not normal at all. She needs help.

I think a lot of people do regular stalking of their ex on social media, that part doesn't bother me. But showing up to places where he is? Now that's going too far.

Gift her a book on getting past your breakup. This isn’t normal. I suspect she has some guilt to not share why the split happened, and that guilt makes it easy for her to dwell in the past.

My wife is stalking my ex. It's a problem.

He’s an idiot for not changing his security settings so she can’t see what he’s doing.

He knows. He gets “people you may know” feeds on his page.

The algorithm "People you may know" is not based on viewable data analytics, but connections between mutual friends. There is a hide recommendations feature as well.

PP, should also note, Facebook message has access to your phone contact list so generally those will also be people who populate in the People you may know box.
