It’s so hard trying to escape an ex in the days of online social networking isn’t it?
Even if you’ve considered moving to another country to get away from them (believe me, I have been tempted) they’d follow you, thanks to Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and even YouTube.
Yep, the wonders of modern technology means you just can’t get away from people.
But if you’re like me, you probably can’t resist a sneak peek at your ex’s facebook profile.
I do it. Often. It’s a little bit therapeutic, actually.
“Oh good thing we broke up, he’s put on a few pounds in his recent pics,” I thought to myself once.
“Oh God, his new girlfriend looks like a horse. He’s obviously isn’t over me yet,” I thought another time.
But it is possible to take it too far.
New research has found 1 in 2 people have checked up on an ex online.
And 1 in 4 people have done this more than once (ohhh that’s me!)
Maybe it is time to take up a new hobby.
