With the advent of new social media networks like Facebook and MySpace cyber stalking is just oh-so-easy. I find myself killing (I can't even count how many) hours by repeatedly pressing the "check status" icon on my blackberry for Facebook and my heart skips a beat when there's a new update from people that I've been "keeping in touch with" ahem..."stalking" via Facebook.
It's just so easy to scroll down your "friends" list and just casually check on people that you know especially with exboyfriends.
I really want to see what my ex has been up to these days. We no longer speak or even really communicate. I think he doesn't want to be on "friendly" terms with me. My definition of friendly means an occasional email with a short update on what's going on. Nothing serious...no drama. I don't need to know how many women he's talked to or hooked up with but a short cursory email with a little information on his life and family wouldn't hurt. I mean when you're with someone for a number of years and things don't workout is it really necessary to completely cut off all ties of communication?
I have friends that say that this is an absolute must and that you can't stay friends with your exes. I beg to differ. I do believe that distance is necessary in the beginning when the separation is fresh but after almost a year of no communication shouldn't a little email warrant a timely response? It wasn't like there was drama in the breakup....things just didnt work out there was no cheating or anything like that.
So given my obsession with Facebook status checking, I've been really good about not checking on my ex. However today I hit an information over load purely by accident. OK..not quite by accident...but I wasn't really cyber stalking. I was just going through blogger and found his blog. *gasp*
I know. I shouldn't have read it. But that's like putting candy in front of a baby and asking him/her not to try to eat it. I tried to resist but I knew it was a battle that I wasn't going to win. I read it. And it was hard. I think I might be an emotional cutter....i have problems. :(
