How long is considered a normal amount of time after a break up to be following your ex's life through a social networking site? Im going on about three weeks straight after a year long relationship. Other than that Im over it. I wouldnt even want to get back together if she tried. Im just a little obsessed with knowing what shes doing now that shes single...any opinions?

You say that you are over it, but if you were truly over it, you would stop trying to see what your ex is up to.

Try not to follow anything that she does and focus on what makes you happy. In time, you will be so involved in the here and now in your new life, that you will no longer be fixated on what she is doing.

It's easier said than done, but if you take it day by day, one day you will realize that you haven't given her a thought for the entire day.

Good luck!

A female reader, squares Canada +, writes (22 July 2009):

For the first little bit it's normal to continue looking out for that person, or following their daily lives. You were together for a year, and after a longer relationship such as that it's difficult to be anything less. Curiosity is natural, but it's also linking you to the relationship. Try to stop watching for uploads on social networks and go back to your own life. Try something new, or get a hobby. You're only truly over a relationship when you don't need to know what the other is doing, so get going. No sense in wasting your twenties watching hers go by.

Good luck :)
