Do you ever casually google your ex-es? (Lighthearted not stalking!)

[StillMedusa]

Up late and randomly decided to google my first serious boyfriend.. finally found him on Linkedin He's not looking too bad and I'd have definitely been richer if I'd stayed with him after Uni!

Then googled the two biggest loves of my life... one as a teen, and one at university... the heart stopping crushes that went no where. Neither has aged particularly well but it's kind of comforting to see them doing nicely.

One to my utter surprise is running a car dealership in my county and I am ever so tempted to go look at some fancy cars just to see what he's like in person now ...and to see if he recognises me. He practically lived at my home (due to his own being awful) as a teenager but he never knew I had a massive crush on him! (I'm happily married for 30+ years btw and do not fancy the middle aged version!)

Does anyone else do this or is it just me?!!

I‘m in touch with quite a few, but found some others on FB and Google. They seem to be happy and doing well in life. Two emigrated to the other side of the world, one has now overcome his alcoholism, one very major guy now happily married with kids (which was a reason we broke up, I didn’t want any). I am pleased for them but not tempted to get in touch.

I only have one serious ex who I have blocked as after we broke up I got a bit obsessive about googling him!

i am still friends with one ex, another one is now a director in a company that my firm does a lot of work with and I always find it a bit funny hearing them talk about him in this professional capacity when I just remember him being the first person to ever touch my boobs. Glad he’s doing well tho

And then another ex I occasionally Google even tho we were only together two weeks when we were fourteen lol, these days I don’t even call him an ex really as it was barely a relationship. But I Google him purely cos I’ve never been able to find him and I’m so curious! We live in a very small community so it’s odd to not be able to find any reference of him bar one random school clipping from 2002. So I keep looking because the more I can’t find him, the more nosy I get! Prob every two or three years I’ll remember him and have a look, it’s not like a once a month thing or anything!

I do this - for all my exes (there haven't been many) over various platforms. But I also check old school friends, peoe I've worked with, etc because I'm nosey - we shared lives for a while, I'm curious to know where life took them since.

I'm in infrequent contact with my first serious (aka the one who got away). He seems to be doing okay and we text each other occasionally. He's now a silver fox 😉

My first teenage love is now in the film industry and doing really well - I'm pleased for him, he was a nice lad.

Bloke I lost my virginity at uni to is a uni lecturer having done a PhD. He was a shit to me having pursued me through a mutual friend. I still would though, he's still got it.

The one who got away is on FB but doesn't really use it. I bumped into him again a few weeks ago and yeah, I still would. He's single too but lives 400 miles away.

Last ex (abusive LTR) is on FB and kept popping up in People You Might Know when I was on there. I had a little peek and was reminded of what a prick he is, and blocked him. I've since deleted my account anyway.

The others aren't really on SM. None have died as far as I know.

No need. I'm friends with them all on Facebook
