Social media stalking?

Hi, it's my first post here so be kind!! Lol. Also still learning all the abbreviations so go easy on me with your replies 😂

Basically I'm just wondering how much interest your partners / SO's take in your social media posts - whether this be what you share, pictures, statuses, just in general?
For example - how many likes you get, how often you post, who likes your things, who follows you etc.

Has your other thread been taken down alm23x? Every time I click on it, I get the Ooops message. Glad things are working out for you.

PlantPotPat · 31/12/2020 10:57

@Cuppachino I can't even find the new one anymore. Hopefully that means OP is doing well and doesn't need the support 🤞🏻

Cuppachino · 31/12/2020 13:31

@PlantPotPat

Thanks for replying. Yes, hoping all is well for OP, it does sound like it thankfully.

havecourage8bekind · 01/01/2021 20:09

Hey everyone. My newer post got taken down because posts on the 'secret place' only last for 30 days before automatically being deleted. Haven't started a new thread as didnt know if anyone would actually see it on that board anymore! X

Sassysally12 · 02/01/2021 10:27

@havecourage8bekind how are you? How are the kids, so pleased for you! I didn’t find the new post so didn’t see the updates until you said you were ok the other day, amazing news x

havecourage8bekind · 02/01/2021 10:33

@sassysally12 hey Smile we are all okay thank you. I'm having good days & bad days which is normal I suppose as all the adrenaline has worn off now. Started some meds and have got counselling booked for next week so it's time to rebuild myself I suppose. Had an awful time with a Sainsbury's delivery driver (I'd explained about it on the other thread) harassing me on my first night at the new house which was NOT what I needed, had to call the police, but he's been sacked now and apparently I've got a "gesture" from Sainsbury's coming in the post lol. Ex is still acting very sad and depressed which does pull on my heart strings every now and again but I soon give myself a slap across the cheeks and tell myself I'm not responsible for his feelings. Kids are so ready for some school and routine, woken up to news they may not be going back after all? They've been out of schooling for Six weeks now so that really worries me. Sorry for the essay!!! Hope you had a lovely Christmas and New year xxx

Daftapath · 02/01/2021 13:12

Hey OP, glad to hear that the Sainsbury's driver was sacked. Hopefully you will hear no more from him.

If you start a new thread people will look for you. I have looked a few times to see if you had and I'm sure others have too.

Baileysandcream · 02/01/2021 14:10

I've been checking for a new thread too, I wanted to wish you a very happy New Year @havecourage8bekind.

So pleased to hear that Sainsburys took the incident seriously, I wonder what the "gesture" will be, I hope it's a generous gesture !

No doubt Ex is sad, he's probably realising that he's really blown it this time and he's lost someone truly awesome.

You've had such a whirlwind and rollercoaster few months and been through so much in such a short time, hopefully now you can really start to relax and settle in to your new home. Happy New Year to you and your little ones, I hope 2021 is your best year ever.

BlueThistles · 02/01/2021 14:13

great news OP 🌺

Sassysally12 · 02/01/2021 14:26

@havecourage8bekind oh that’s great news OP! Wow the Sainsbury’s incident doesn’t sound ideal but at least he’s been dealt with and I hope a hefty amount of vouchers are on the way to you!

It’s so natural to feel the way you do, it’s been 2 months and I still miss my narc horrible ex I think it’s just part of life, but yes just remind yourself the lengths you had to go to LTB. Will be great for you when the kids can go back to school and get settled etc again, hopefully it will all start to fall into place for you. I admire your strength so much, so many threads you read it doesn’t end this way and they live a lifetime of hell. You’ve taken your life into your own hands and decided you weren’t going to accept a shitty man. Good for you and a massive happy and healthy New Years to you xxx

alm23x · 29/12/2021 11:43

Hi everyone! I thought I'd come back and just say a HUGE thank you to everyone. My life is so different now and to be honest, it's thanks to everyone on this original post for giving me the strength. It's been a year now, and I have my house sorted..two happy children, a job, a circle of friends who I see regularly...and I now have a really lovely boyfriend who treats me like a princess. Co parenting hasn't been easy, and still isn't at times but I'm so much stronger than before. Divorce is going through and he's not contesting it, he also has a new girlfriend. Life is good, so let this be a sign for anyone struggling..I promise it gets better! Hope you're all well xx

TheCatShatInTheHat · 29/12/2021 12:50

OP, I started reading this thread and at once remembered your story. I'm so glad you and the children are happy.

I'm so proud of you, truly.

You are a real inspiration and I thank you for leaving this post up for other women to read... and giving us the happy ending.

CerealKiller22 · 29/12/2021 13:34

Wow, I remember your threads. Well done, OP. You showed amazing courage to get out when you did. All the best x

Momijin · 29/12/2021 13:45

My ex did comment when some men repeatedly liked my posts. My bf has never said anything and I know he doesn't go on facebook much. We trust each other so don't care what people like or comment.

IWannaQuitTheGym · 29/12/2021 14:09

@alm23x I never saw this thread first time round but I've just spent 3 hours reading the whole thing and I'm so glad you came back to update, not that you owed anyone an update of course but I'm so glad you did. I am currently living in that 'surely he's not THAT bad' and 'I'm not perfect either, I probably do stuff to wind him up' and I identified with so many of the things you posted but your thread has given me a bit of hope that maybe I can be as strong as you can find freedom at some point. I'm so glad you're happy and life is on the up xx
