Is it normal to look at your ex's social media?
Mostly.Normal for most people
Yes—lots of people check an ex’s social media out of curiosity, especially after a breakup. It’s worth taking a break if it leaves you feeling worse or keeps you stuck.
It’s very common to peek at an ex’s posts, whether you’re curious how they’re doing, comparing your lives, or just following an old habit. Looking once in a while doesn’t mean you want to get back together or that you’re doing anything wrong.
The catch is how it affects you. If every check sends you into a spiral, fuels jealousy, or makes it harder to move on, muting or unfollowing them for a while can be a kindness to yourself—not a dramatic statement.
