Am I the only one to torture myself by checking out the facebook posts of my ex and his new love? I keep telling myself I have to make it real in my own mind. I have had some choice comments I'd love to make, but I don't. He and my niece are about to have a baby. Does the fact that it's family change anything?

Unfortunately it sounds like they are going to be in your life regardless. It might help if you just block them on your FB so you can't torture yourself. It sounds like the situation is real enough for you to grasp it and you are in fact just torturing yourself. To move on you have to be able to put it out of your head and think clearly, checking their facebooks is going to prevent you from doing that.

Easy to say, hard to do, but you just gotta let it go. You yourself called it torture, so you know it's not doing you any favors.

Thank you, everyone, there does seem to be a consensus here. Guess I just needed to be told what I already knew. Now if I can just make myself press that little button.

I every once in a while will check my ex's girlfriends facebook but she is hardly ever on there so I have just kinda accepted it for what it is and moved on. It's no good to torture yourself though. You have to move on and trust me it will be the best thing you ever did. flowers

Do it ASAP. Why put yourself through that stress? Imagine how much happier your life will be when you leave the baggage at the curb.

You can heal, reinvent yourself, and then be open to a healthy, new relationship.

He moved on - you need to also! drinker

This reminds me of an old joke. A man walks into a doctors office and tells the doctor my arm hurts when I do that. The doctor looks at the patient and says Don't do that.........smokin
