To think it's weird my exs fiancé makes fake accounts to watch my stories?

I've caught her twice now (that I know about) making a fake Instagram account to watch my stories... I know it's her because her email address/Facebook account is linked to these fake accounts 🙄
They always have no picture, no followers or anything, but the last couple of times I've put a story up I've noticed it.

She's made it clear she doesnt like me, and she doesn't want to know what happened between him and me (he was SAing me) and I've not bothered her at all in the few years they've been together, I only talk to my ex about our kids (they also have a kid and are engaged)

AIBU to find this weird? Should I say anything or just let it go? It doesn't really affect my life but its does feel like I'm being watched sometimes 😖 I blocked both accounts but nothing stopping her making another!

There is an option to block and block all other accounts made by this person. I think they use IP address. Only other thing is set your story to close friends and add your followers manually. Or just make your profile private. I get some proper weirdos watching mine. I instantly block

Id just ignore it unless she actually does something or comments. If you are doing public stories then the public can see it. It doesnt really matter does it? She seems insecure but thats her problem.. you dont need to give any thought to this.

It’s weird but i also think it’s more commonplace than you think for people to stalk exes

It is odd but why haven’t you locked your profile down to private? I’d be more worried about random weirdos nosing into my life than an insecure woman my ex was with.

I think the kindest thing here is to either make your stories private, or to just ignore it
she’s obviously got some personal/self esteem/trust or confidence issues??
I’ve been there :(

  1. You can't say anything unless you can provide proof, not just tell her you have one. You have to show the evidence so she knows you caught her red-handed.
  1. Just ignore her, block any account you think it's her and carry on.
  1. If you don't want random people looking, then make it private.

I sent screenshots over to my ex when his newest girlfriend was very recently doing this to me. It’s all so embarrassing and weird, we’re in our 30’s and she’s in her 40’s.

Only good thing that came from it is I learned how to better make my online presence more locked down and minimal.

He spoke to her and she stopped for a week or so, but I suspect has continued on a fake profile.
