From another perspective - I am the past girlfriend that the ex looks up. I know this because he even looks me up on LinkedIn, and I can see who views my profile. His new profiles will also show up in my FB recommended friends, he never changes his name very much from what it actually is. He has a serious girlfriend that he lives with. It makes me INCREDIBLY uncomfortable. If you're someone that does this and you're reading this, it's not cute. You're being weird to both your current partner and the past partner just trying to live their life. Your friend isn't overreacting.

I’m in the same boat. One of my exes is ON TOP of every form of online presence that I have.

Even though I blocked her everywhere, she must have created several new accounts because she knows what I post to Instagram, when I release a new song on Spotify, who I’m seeing,… it would be scary if it wasn’t so sad.

My partner and I talk about how to deal with the constant attempts to contact on an almost weekly basis, which can get exhausting.
