Moving into a relationship seems difficult for me to overcome. It takes time for me in order to conquer my broken heart. I may seem crazy but i can't help myself to look back our memories,remember the most happiest moment and stare at his pictures. The most easy way to do that is through social media.Nowadays, the most common social networking is Facebook.I act like an agent in a spying movie or action movie.I keep on updating his life in a hidden way. I'd choose to do this to easily move on however they said it's the opposite.Do you spy sometimes with your exes or you just don't bother to do so?Is it helpful or it only adds the pain in your heart?i'm willing to listen to your advice.

I sometimes find myself doing that too when I was still hurting. However, these days, we're friends in Facebook but I no longer bother looking into his profile or even caring if he's online or not. Perhaps you should slowly take the habit off, because nobody moves on by sticking with the past. You'd only find yourself hurt instead. Too much thinking would make us bitter sometimes. Let go and do some other things that would really make you forget the person. When you've forgotten and truly "moved on", you'd find yourself laughing at your past actions. Suggestions would include you spending more time with friends and family. Lesser time alone because you'd only end up thinking. Perhaps more time out or do a lot more work. You could try spending more time online in MyLot but don't talk about your ex or the past all the time, venture into other topics. There's no perfect formula for love, neither is there a "right way" to mend a broken heart. But trust that you will get over it. Be hopeful that someday, you'd meet that someone whom you won't need to spy on anymore - he'd be willingly there beside you and you'd be talking about the silly stuff you did when you were broken-hearted - and you'd be glad you broke up with that guy in the first place. Have a great MyLot experience ahead!

Hello there Daisy. I only have one boyfriend in my entire life. :) He's my first boyfriend and we are still together right now. I really love him a lot. Though he's my first boyfriend, I couldn't also deny the fact that I also learned to love some guys before him. Though we weren't officially on, some guys were also very dear to me so I consider them as my ex-loved ones. Hehe. :) Before, I think I loved doing it. Spying on facebook or should I mean, checking the new posts, photos, or activities done by them. For now, I think I'm not that hurting anymore. Accepting the truth that they are already happy with their lives without me is better than letting myself lonely. Even though I see them with the women they love, I'm so happy to see them smiling. In fact, some of the guys I fell in love with before are already married. There are no reasons for me to cry over spilt milk. I see them on their wedding day photographs and I'm still so happy for them. I'm wishing them all the luck in the world. I hope they wouldn't encounter many problems now that they are already married. I just feel happy now because once in my life, they became special to me and I was special to them too. Maybe, if they could read my name in facebook, they would also smile or remember me. For now, I don't bother checking every posts of them anymore. What I am busy at, is looking at some accounts of some girls who want to be so close with my recent boyfriend. I love checking their accounts at times. But I think now, I'm not so serious about those things anymore. I think when you have a facebook account, you should stay friendly to others so you won't appear to have a coarse attitude. I think maybe it's okay for you to check your ex's activities but you should take control of yourself. You shouldn't be so sad. Instead, be happy when you see him happy in his photos. At least, you could still see him in facebook. You could still know what is happening with him. Be thankful we have facebook. It's so useful for us to know what is going on with the people we really care about. :)

Very well said ladybug!Even though my friends keep on telling me not to look at his account i can't help myself.I still feel worried every time he posted some sad quotes.It is still very obvious that his presence is still in my system but even if the situation is like that i'm still happy to know that he is happy now even i'm not part of his happiness. Stupidity is what they called with my actions but for an in love person it doesn't matter...

I would never bother looking at a exs or old friends photos, as that is the past and the past is something that can not be changed no matter what. I feel that some things are left as well as people left in the past, even if you can spy on face book. Some people torture their self looking and wanting the person back in their life.

I believe in "out of sight, out of mind" mantra. ANd if ever the person is out of sight but still in your mind, DO NOT let him in your sight, his image, his stuff, or gifts. Just for a while, while you're still hurting, while you're still accepting that what you once had with him is over. I was also guilty of Facebook spying, but I did this when I was no longer hurting. Actually I just did it out of pure curiosity and nothing more. There's no sense in remembering things that are not gonna happen again. Keep busy, try new hobbies. Meet people but never enter into a new relationship unless you're ready. Just enjoy life, enjoy being single.

wow I can relate on this one, it was never easy to move on especially if you really love your ex. well I was like that too I'm a super ninja spy on my ex lovers hahaha but it hurt so much because you can see that your ex is already moved on and you, well your not then on that situation I realize it was pointless and stupid. The best thing to move on is to keep yourself busy, go hangout with friends, have a drink and meet new friends. Just wait for the right time and your heart will always heals.

hi... Stay positive. There's nothing wrong when you keep on looking his pictures but try to do new things. There's a line in the book that says, the power of positive thinking will surprise you. If you're really having trouble getting over your ex stay positive and tell yourself you will get over him. Life will go on. Plant some flowers and watch them grow if that's what it takes for you to remember that life goes on after breakup. You can do it. One of these days, you'll wake up and he'll be so insignificant to you., you'll barely remember his name.

I guess you can move on quickly if you will avoid looking at his Facebook account. It's hard to forget. Maybe, you will see things that might hurt you more so as long as possible, don't visit his account. You can also delete his pictures in your own albums. You have to avoid looking back on your memories. Free yourself. It's time for you to move on. Maybe, he's already moving on too. Enjoy your life and love yourself.

Well, it is not good if you do like that...your heart is hurt more only. Better move his id out of your facebook list and never connect to his page anymore. All things related to him should removed...so that nothing makes you remember your previous time with him. It is the best way to make you move on your life. I did remove my ex- id in my profile immediately and i have no habit to watch what is going on with him more...With me, all is the past and i just move on without him... I wish you all the best!!!
