When you’re in love and happy and have a facebook status of “In a Relationship,” you’re letting the world view your romantic life and share your joy.
When the relationship ends, you know it’s best to cut your digital ties, but will you?
It’s hard to resist taking a peek, but it’s not healthy if you want to move forward with your life.
In a recent article in the Toronto Sun, I was asked my dating advice and opinions on the creeping an ex syndrome. So without further digital adieu, I hope this article helps you move on, both online and offline. As usual, your comments and suggestions are always appreciated.
“I?m against creeping exes,” says Julie Spira, online dating expert and author of?The Perils of Cyber-Dating. “There?s a reason he or she is your ex, so do what you can to move on. If you stare at their Facebook photos, it will be much harder to move on to a better and healthier relationship.”
Spira advises de-friending the ex on Facebook, untagging yourself from photos of the two of you together and unfollowing them on Twitter immediately.
“It’s just too tempting to take a digital peek,” Spira says.
But cutting your ex off from your social media circle doesn’t necessarily have to be a permanent measure.
