some crazy kind of question

[wytchcroft]

Do you keep tabs on ex-boyfriends and -girlfriends over social networking sites? Do you think it's emotionally healthy or dangerous? Amusing or painful?

Sometimes i wonder where these psychotic questions come from.

But i guess that everybody has that chord and waits for it to get played.

There is no gone. There is no forgotten. There is no lost.
But all the same...

I love Iggy Pop! Sometimes, I wonder why you are so neat-o.

But regarding your post, I think it is emotionally unhealthy to "keep tabs" on people, because like you mention in this post, things are not forgotten. Why dig up old emotions that just make us feel icky? It may be tempting to track people, but what result does it really yield? If the feelings unearthed are gross, then that is not for me.

On a side note, I also do not see the relevance of social networking networking in my life. I think being on one opens one up to too many icky opportunities, like the ones mentioned above.

I am sadly Iggy Pop illiterate. :-(

As for your post... I do think it's really unhealthy to "keep tabs" on an ex. Computers allow us to engage in stalkish kinda behavior without ever leaving our rooms. If it's over, it's over... move on and find something or somebody new. Leave the past where it belongs.

I do not keep tabs on my exs.
Emotionally healthy? - and what is emotional health? It varies from soul to soul, what not? For me - definitely not healthy.
Emotionally dangerous it can be, especially when the break is fresh. But then, everything is dangerous.
Amusing? I'm amused only with something living, not dead. So - definitely not.
Painful? Once again, fresh wounds do hurt more. The cord certainly remembers all touches an is still there to get played.
So, if you value your life or your reason, keep away from the moor exs...

I guess that's one good thing about marrying your first boyfriend. You never have to worry about these kinds of questions. *g* Although I have to say the stalker in me would probably totally keep tabs. ^^ But then again maybe I'll be so broken hearted that I won't be able to switch on the computer let alone surf the net.
