i have a friend who si so upset and i understand why cause if it were me i would be too. she and her fiance have been together for over a year..almost a year and a half. and today just casually browing the computer. she was looking for a page she had viewed earlier and couldnt remember the url so she checked the history on the compute rto find..he has been searching for his ex on myspace. When they got together they both agreed to leave their exs alone because he doesnt quite like the idea of her talking to her ex and she is the same way. So why is he looking for his ex on myspace?

I can understand that he's curious. A lot of people are, myself included. I guess it is somewhat understandable. However, they both agreed to leave their exs alone, and I think he should have respected that and not go looking for his ex. At least, out of respect to his fiance. He made a promise, and he should live up to his promise, in my opinion. I don't think he should have looked for his ex.

Girl you need to chalk that one up. A man is going to do what a man is going to do. I am not saying to just sit back and do nothing. Your friend have to make their mind up on rather or not that they are going to go thru marrying this man or not..... seeing that he is looking for his EX! I say your friend might want to give it some more time and see what else he (fiance) is looking for, but if your friend love them, then by all means..... your friend has my blessing!

It doesn't seem all that bad. I would ask him first before jumping to conclusions. But then I see the point of if he doesn't want her to talk to her ex then yes he shouldn't be talking to his either. It's only fair. But I say talk to him first about it because were his intentions on talking to his ex or just seeing if she had a myspace? I'v been curious before to know if some of my ex's had a myspace, but I had no intentions on talking to them.

I was going with a guy my parent's loved but I broke up with him and married someone else about 3 years later. My family got to talking about my divorce a few years ago and asked me about the other guy who I had not seen in some 25 years. a few weeks later I looked him up on the internet, he had a history of arrests, substance and wife abuse problems. My choice may not have been perfect but I had the satisfaction on knowing that i had made a better choice. Just my story.

have you ever listened to that song my garth brooks Unanswered Prayers? Although i agree at first i would be furious if he is happy in their relationship its going to turn out in her favor even better then if he didnt go searching for her.

Who knows maybe he's just browsing to see what they've been up to. I mean i still talk to exes on my Myspace page and my wife knows it as well. She doesn't care considering their in different cities and moving on with their lives. She's just curious why i'm chit chattin and seeing what each other has been up to that's all. After all it was a good relationship and it's good to see how each other is doing i suppose.

I think he is just be curios on who his ex is seeing. It is natural I know even herself would be interested to know who her ex is seeing and compare herself with her. It is harmless until she discovers that they are chatting, texting each other or even meeting secretely.....thats when she should react. But it is good if the two of them sits down and talks about it and see how the guys responds. Or she can keep quiet atleast for now and watch him and see how often he visits that page and the activities. The he can burst him from there. I think one and half years is a long time and if they truly love each other she should not worry. There is a reason he left his ex for her. Let her weigh her options.

So, your friend has a choice. She can start a big fight about it right before Christmas or she can choose to trust her boyfriend. Just because he's looking for his ex's myspace page doesn't mean he's cheating. I know it's irritating but, if he's never done anything to cause her to suspect him of cheating in the past year and a half, she should give him the benefit of the doubt and trust him. If the ex shows up on his friend's list then she can kill him.

Chances are, he is just curious about his ex. Do I agree with him looking her up, not at all. My husband actually got rid of his myspace account becausae it was causing us too many problems.(Long story). I think that she should ask him about it point blank, unless she wants to see how often he goes to her page. In that case, she could delete her browsing history and look at it periodically to see if he has been there again and how often. If he seems to be going to her myspace page frequently, she should confront him and find out what is going on.

From the ex's point of view.... There used to be a site called ProfileSnoop.com where you could put in your MySpace address and it would show you who was visiting your site (if they had a profile...random people off the net would only get tracked by their IP). I had set it up because I had gotten a friend request from the same guy (a complete stranger) four times and I wanted to see if he was stalking me. Come to find out my ex, who had broken off our engagement some six or eight months prior, was not only checking out my profile but doing it several (eight or nine) times a day. I'm sure this doesn't offer you or your friend any insight into his behavior, other than to serve as reinforcement that guys are boneheads. I never did find out what he was up to, except when I asked our mutual friend, the friend excused it as curiosity and two days later the nine visits a day came to a screeching halt. MySpace is a breeding ground for jealousy and hurt feelings.

Well, some people still have feelings for people that they have dated. It happens. It's natural. It takes time for most peoples feelings to truly be gone. I would say he's just curious on who his ex girlfriend is dating now and stuff. Tell your friend that she has nothing to worry about if she truly feels like her fiance loves and cares about her.

This is really tough. People get curious. He may or may not have been looking to contact his ex. He might have been curious to see how she was doing. It's something that takes a hold of all of us. Let them talk about it. I doubt it is anything serious and if it is then I hope he is a decent person and tells your friend what's on his mind.
