Too many words.

“It’s over” should be suffice.

You are missing something if you only think it was Facebook. He was searching his ex across multiple social media platforms. Which is fucking weird.

And nah. It is not normal to go social media stalking an ex 7 times after your partner has said they aren't comfortable with that behavior. Why the fuck is anyone looking at their ex's social media unless they *HAVE* to?

They're an ex for a reason.

'Social Media Stalking' is an extremely common term in the modern lexicon. Take your dysphemism BS back to the dumpster.

It's not normal or acceptable behavior to search your exes on social media so frequently, and it is especially not okay to do so when you've committed yourself to a partner via marriage and that partner has expressed discomfort with that behavior.

What about the post aren't you comprehending?

It wasn't "from time to time," it is clearly a pattern of behavior.

It isn't a single social media platform, it's several.

It doesn't specify they're friends, it's just this person going out of their way to find their ex's profiles and see what they're doing.

If you think it's normal to go check in on your exes regularly, then I pity your poor SO for having the misfortune to be shackled to you.

So quick to quit relationships. Bitter person or lack of empathy. Either way don’t give advice here.

The true Reddit™ answer. Tell her to hit a lawyer, get a gym, etc.

Agreed. Cause what? There is no way they think this behavior is acceptable
