I'm aware this might sound pathetic to some and that's fine but after 2 years I'm still not over him.
After 2 years I started my Instagram account up again and my ex has been viewing all of my stories.
Surely if he wasn't interested In what I was up too or bothered he would just delete me?

It’s a pretty big reach. It’s been 2 years, just keep moving on OP.

MerCatsSpawScience · 10/02/2024 17:24

I just flick through all the stories at the top of my screen one by one and click on to the next if not something I want to watch.
I wouldn't say it means anything.

Block him if you can and move on!

he’s just keeping tabs on you, don’t look too much into it.

To be fair I do that, sorry op, I’m really nosey, and I just click through the stories, I don’t even know who is up next.

sorry, try to move on.

Nah, it’s insta, you just click through,

I would say he is being nosey and seeing what you are up to.

I’m no expert on Instagram but if I go on the first story that pops up and then keep swiping, I must view loads of stories of people that I follow but have no more than a passing interest in.

I wouldn’t overthink it.

A lot of my exes watch mine. I ask them straight.

one says he wants to see I’m ok (ok by HIS standards, not mine, I am not ok with him, he was a bastard)
one offers to meet up with me for lunch every now and again - I suspect he wants to be around should I become single
one just likes to see my face and remember the good times
one likes the music I post
^ i suspect the last two are covers for some thing else but they won’t admit it

i agree that they wouldn’t watch if not for something, even if it’s not a romantic reason, even just to validate themselves - as I have exes who don’t watch at all

But he is a follower on Snapchat and he still looks
On Snapchat you have to click don't you if not a friend ?

Oh op; if he’s interested he will reach out, stop trying to find hidden meanings that don’t exist. Either ask him out again or get some counselling to help you move on.

Noideawwhatsoccuring · 10/02/2024 17:35

If you click on someone’s stories, it keeps feeding you stories. He may have seen yours and just clicked through,

It doesn’t mean he watching them all or seeking them out.

If you don’t want him to see them, block him:

If he was interested he’d probably say. Why not just ask him?
