Boyfriend looking at his ex’s FB profile a lot?

Would it bother you if your DPs ex was always the top of his ‘most recently searched’ on FB?

He’s ‘slipped up’ a couple of times and I’ve seen that she is either at the top of his most searched or second/third from top.

I know it’s something minor and shouldn’t really matter, and it’s not like I’ve never looked at an ex’s FB profile, I think I’m just a bit meh about it because the first time he was showing me something and went to type something in to the search bar and her name was at the top, with my name underneath and then some of his friends names. A few weeks later he did it again and this time her name was second from top, so it seems that he is probably looking at her profile on a pretty regular basis.

He doesn’t really use FB that much, extremely rare that he posts, he may have a scroll once a day or something but that’s about it and so I do find it strange that he seems to be searching for her and looking at her profile.

I think I am a bit paranoid about this ex in general as there was ‘unfinished business’ if you like and I have occasionally wondered if he’s over her.

I guess it just miffs me a bit that he cares what one of his exes is up to so much that he obviously gawps at her profile on a pretty regular basis, it’s only this ex that appears, none of his others.

What they all said. The person at the top of the search the most recent. Not the most frequent. He might've looked her up once, a year ago, if he's not that prolific a fb user.

I also look u exes. And ex's OW occasionally. I too am nosy

Another nosey one here. I lsetimes search for my ex. My internet search history also could look a bit dodgy! I really don't think it means anything but do mention it to him if you're worried.

Edit the searches and clear them. Then you will see if he is looking for her

What pops up is to do with alphabetical order isn't it?

Say I searched for "Malcolm" several months ago, then today searched for "Mandy", "Malcolm" would come up as soon as you put the M into the search.

No, he definitely had searched for her because he didn’t even type anything, he literally just pressed his finger on the ‘search’ bar and then 3-4 names came up instantly, with her at the top, then me and then a couple of his friends, exact same thing happened again a couple of weeks later, only I think she’d moved down one but can’t really remember, she was definitely still there though.

It is probably just him being nosey, it’s not like I’ve never done it, but I am not doing it frequently, or at all anymore really. I won’t know if he’s doing it frequently unless he tries to show me something or whatever again and there’s a load of new names in his search with her still being at the top! I’ll probably never know as it’s not like he often shows me things so I guess I need to stop thinking about it. I wouldn’t mention anything to him with just these instances being taken into account, there would have to be more to it for me to bring it up and risk sounding like a loon!
