wingman2 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I'm having a really hard time trying to keep myself from looking at my ex's facebook/myspace as well as her best friend's. Although I'm in the process of getting over her (even though there's so much confusion in my life right now) I just can't seem to keep myself from peeking at her profiles from time to time. Remarkably her headline on myspace has been the same since the time we were together but I just can't bare to look at her profile, see her signed on and only to not see an email, text message, or phone call from her. What's worse is that I know one day I'll see something I wouldn't want to see and I'll probably snap. Please I need help preventing myself from looking at her profiles and if it means installing programs or doing something to block the website (both computer and phone) in order to prevent myself from looking at her profiles then I consider it a bargain. I really need help with this. Link to post Share on other sites
USMCHokie Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Block her on the social networking sites. And then you'll probably respond that you'll just as easily unblock her and take a peek. If so, then set a large wooden boat paddle next to your computer. Every time you unblock/check her profile, slap yourself as hard as you can in the face with said boat paddle. Bottom line: it's a matter of personal discipline...there really isn't any amount of technology or software that you could just as easily bypass to "cheat"... Link to post Share on other sites

northstar1 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Same way you stop putting your hand on a hot stove top. Because it hurts like hell. There is nothing good that will come of watching her pages. You will drive yourself crazy trying to decipher her updates, pictures etc, and make assumptions that may or may not be true. If you can't stop yourself from looking at her pages, then delete your account. Link to post Share on other sites
BetterOffWithoutYou Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 i had this problem briefly with my ex, looking at his mother's page (as she didn't delete my after he left. why? no clue). then i saw her post about how happy she was that he was back home with her....this hurt like hell. so i decided i was done! i made it so she cannot see my info and also i forced myself to stop looking at her page. i get the urges but i know the info will only hurt and set me back, I'M MOVING ON. you need to make the decision you are ready to let her go for good. then you can muster up all your will power to stop looking. also, maybe parental controls can help you block the page? just a thought. good luck and stay strong!!!
