My bf and I have been together for a little over a year. I noticed he has been looking at his Ex's Facebook page nearly everyday, searching her address, profession, etc. what do I do? I feel guilty for snooping but I had a poor guy feeling. He says all the right things but I feel like I'm becoming more and more closed off.

A lot of times you can form sort of a self fulfilling prophecy. You worry about the relationship, you pull back just a bit in self defense, and he senses that something is wrong but he isn't sure what so he pulls back, you sense him pulling away so you pull back further..

I'm not sure what you should do about this though... seems he is still hung up on his ex for some reason.. could be anger, or he could have feeling for her still, or something silly like she has his favorite sweatshirt and he wants it back..

How can you see exactly what he's viewing on her FB page???


Or are you making assumptions based on his search history?...


As said above, who knows why, maybe he's nostalgic for disaster... Happens to the best of us, maybe he has a valid reason for seeking her out.


My thoughts? Either forget what you saw while snooping and trust your BF, or tell him you snooped and ask him for an explanation...

Your b/f is snooping on his ex and your snooping on your b/f wonder if anyone is snooping on you ?
Thanks for this!

Is that normal do you think? I just found the consistency very abnormal. I can understand checking on ex once in awhile, but not daily. Thanks for the input,everyone!

Do you think it's worth confronting if it could be the reminance of feelings?
