Is it normal to check on your ex's activity?
Mostly.Normal for most people
Yes, it’s common to check your ex’s social media or wonder what they’re up to, especially after a breakup. If it’s keeping you stuck or crossing their privacy boundaries, it may help to take a step back.
A lot of people check an ex’s public posts now and then, whether they’re curious, miss them, or are trying to make sense of the breakup. It doesn’t automatically mean you want to get back together or that anything is wrong with you.
The part worth noticing is how it leaves you feeling. If you end up anxious, comparing yourself, or checking compulsively, muting or unfollowing them for a while can give you some breathing room. Keep it to what they’ve chosen to share publicly—don’t use fake accounts or try to get into private information.
