I [Male Taurus] Told My Ex To Move On. I Keep Looking At Her [Leo] Instagram

Is It Normal to Check Your Ex's Instagram After Telling Them to Move On

It is common for people to check their ex's social media after a breakup, especially if unresolved feelings remain. However, repeatedly viewing their stories can hinder emotional recovery and prolong attachment. Focusing on self-care and avoiding constant social media checks can help you move forward more healthily.

I loved my ex [Leo woman] very much and wanted to marry her. Stuff happened and we broke up. Well she broke up with me. She came back 6 months later. I was really torn. We discussed things for almost 2 months and in one of our discussions about us she said something that really pissed me off to the point that it made me change my mind about us. I called her later that same day and told her she needed to move on. That was about a month ago.

So is it weird that I've been looking at her insta story almost every time starting a few days after telling her to move on? I’ve been looking at almost every insta story she has posted since I told her to her to move on a month ago.

For those who don’t know, if you view someone’s story it tells you who has viewed it-so she knows when I look. She posted something at 1 am last night and I checked it. I stopped looking then went back and looked at the rest of her story. She posts a few times a day. Almost every day. Music, her dog, etc. and I'll look at all of them.

Is it weird? I'm hoping that she sees that by me looking I'm indifferent about her/things with us. I think by avoiding it, it seems like I'm upset. Does that make sense?

Man, I stay off social media in general. Never done that but even then there is a thing where its over or its "not really" over. It depends on what she did. Some things are deal breakers and thats it. Also I dont know if going back after six months is a good idea in the first place. It could be over and you know it but that doesnt make it easy or fast moving on. Its just inevitable though. Constant reminders in your face every day...I dont think thats the way...you could drift away and focus on you without doing anything connected to her. Not saying I have all the answers though or anything like that at this point.

I don't think OP wants to move on though...

Maybe you aren’t over her? Or maybe you should talk to her about what pissed you off that she said, maybe you can work it out instead of just calling and changing your mind like that.

Sounds to me like you are lying to yourself.

Whatever gets you thru the day but maybe you should talk to her like an adult instead of creeping her "instawhateverthetreetrunkitis" crap.

Why do you think I'm lying to myself?

"Man I was so in love with this girl" "Anyways had this really hot date set up" "I snapped a video of my plate of food, you could see the hot date in the video" "I get a message from the ex saying it hurts to see that I’ve moved on but if that’s what I want then she loves me enough to be happy for me. Sent her a "?" "Feels good to finally be moving on"

awww karma is such a bitch, you played mind tricks and now your head is all screw up cuz all that emotional mess you are, isn't swell?

If you are completely over her than you wouldn't be creepin, check out her shit. You unfollow or whatever you do on Instagram and move completely on. You can still care about someone and move on...happens on the daily. You still care care...so just talk to her...

Edit: read the post above where you were being a shitty person.

Social media really is our down fall as a society!!

You can still care about someone and not want to be with them though right? I mean just because OP cares doesn't mean he still wants to be with her. I'm genuinely asking by the way haha.

If someone wants to move on why even have a conversation just because they still care? Like you said you can still move on and care-so what's the point?

If you've moved on from someone...you ain't still checking their social media and crap. He hasn't moved on..plain and simple.

Dude, you have a LOT of maturing to do! You broke up with her because she said something to you ABOUT YOU and you didn't like it. I'm guessing it hit your fricking ego right in the balls and was spot on accurate....which is why you didn't like it. Then the play games with "moving on" while posting pics of dates so fast, and then stalking her social media.....Guess what, you fucked up big time, you need to learn the lessons this will teach you about yourself, and you need to move on. If she's that important to you then get your shit together and then apologize to her and own your shit. Maybe she'll still say no and maybe she'll give you a second chance.

What? All The Taurus I know disappears for 6 months.

They say that they're more satisfied being alone and just doing whatever they want to do.
