Question –
What does it mean when your ex always checks your stories?
Background –
My ex and I dated for 4 years and broke up 8 months ago. It was clean break with no contact since then, but lately I’ve noticed he’s always checking out stories, like the first one to check it out. Does this mean he stills has feelings? Is he hoping I’d react to it?
Response –
No one truly knows but him, but are you really in a position to want to reach out and ask him? Probably not. It ended for a reason.
Having said that, one possibility could be your stories come up in his queue from the algorithms. But the most likely explanation is that he’s curious to know what you’re up (and if you’ve moved on) without actual contact with you. He could also be curious if he still has you as an option. Especially if he’s the first one to see them once they go up.
There’s a chance he could still have lingering feelings (especially if you were the one to end it), but if he really wanted to reach out to you, he would.
If you’re wanting a clean break from him and that relationship, block him. Keep in mind, if you wish to have your profiles public (there’s no need to make them private because of a break up), keep in mind there could be other ways he could ‘keep tabs’ on what you’re up to, like if you have mutual friends and they’re still on your accounts, they could provide details to his blocked account. Setting your profiles to private wouldn’t ‘protect you’ from this.
Regardless of this, continue to live your life without worrying about what you post for fear he might see. Block. Move on.
