A female age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I was dumped 3 years ago. It was a serious relationship. I was desperate and have been through every step after the breakup. We're not friends on Facebook, and this did help me a lot. After 3 years, I can say that I'm finally over him now. But I dont know why I still want to know how my ex is doing. Is this normal?

Totally normal - it's just curiosity. It may go away with time, it may not - either way though, as long as you feel you're over him, it's pretty harmless.

Yes it is normal ... when we care for someone we always care ... Aslong as you are moving on with YOUR life and not just obsessing over his then do not worry .... But ask yourself why do you want to stay friends ???? If you have a hard time answering this then stop being friends on Fb .... cause you are not really friends ....

wrathykins agony auntIt's 100% normal! Although I wouldn't bother looking at his facebook, you don't want to see anything that could set you back in any way.

Why would you want to know how he's doing?

If you've truly moved on and happy on your own or with someone else, why even think of him, the person who hurt you and dumped you?

Enjoy your life, who cares about him.

GeeGee255 agony auntDear op, it's very normal to be curious after a break up good or bad. You used to care about this guy, you want to know if he's happy or maybe even if he regrets dumping you. All very normal just don't let it become an obsession. How well have you moved on?
