Oh, how fucking well-timed. The rest of my answer will simply consist of laughing my ass off.

So you didn't actually comment? Because I'd be curious to hear your thinking on the concept of 'keeping tabs', if not on your personal experiences.

I don't necessarily think it's emotionally healthy, but I don't necessarily think it's dangerous either. Some curiosity about what the exes are doing is, I think, only human. I know mine check to see what I'm up to every so often (IP tracking is a fantastic thing). Course, I'm a stalker's wet dream, so I'm pretty lucky no one I've been involved with has tendancies to bloody vengeful murder.

Reason why it's not emotionally healthy, at least for me, is because to some extent, knowing what the other people are doing hinders me in my own progress because I then have to cope with the idea that $person's life is continuing without me instead of focusing on my own life moving on and forward without them. But that just speaks to my own complexes about being left out, which honestly is one of my bigger triggers and has been the worst thing about dealing with all of this.
