Question

so its been a year since my divorce from an arranged marriage and i still find myself checking my ex's social media every day i know its pathetic but i just cant seem to help myself we didnt really have a great relationship, our first date was super awkward and things only got worse from there but somehow i still feel this desire to know what hes up to and if hes moved on i try to distract myself with work and friends but i always end up scrolling through his posts at night lowercase feels like im just torturing myself at this point... i had a pretty rough day today and i was thinking about him nonstop and now im lying in bed wondering what hes doing and who hes with and i just really need to stop doing this because its consuming me

i went thru something similar after my own breakup, i'd check my ex's socials every day out of habit & curiosity, it was like i was trying to fill this void or something. honestly, it took me a while to stop but what worked for me was removing the app from my phone's home screen, so it wasnt the first thing i saw when i unlocked my phone. i'd also set a reminder to do something else at night, like reading a book or watching a movie, to distract myself from the urge to scroll thru his posts... it's been a few months now & i can say i've pretty much stopped checking his socials, it's liberating actually
