Why it is a good sign if you still follow your ex on social media

Do you still follow your ex on Insta, Facebook, or TikTok? Very good. Because it turns out to be a good sign if you still follow each other – and you really don’t have to like every photo of the other, you know. It’s purely about whether you have ever unfollowed each other after the break-up.

Exactly couples who have separated in a healthy way find that both is okay. And then you really don’t unfollow the other. Because, well, it was nice between you, but the cookie was crumbled and you went your own way. C’est la vie. It’s long over, and so is that heartbreak. It’s fine like this.

There’s more. Continuing to follow your ex can be a sign of emotional maturity. It shows that you are capable of closing a relationship without resentment or negative feelings. Instead of completely banishing your ex from your life, you can accept that the relationship has ended. You have given it a place. This indicates a mature attitude towards love and relationships. You have learned your lesson from that broken love. And a broken heart may not always heal, but you have moved on. You are not so preoccupied with it anymore. Good for you.

If you are comfortable following your ex without feeling insecure or jealous, it may mean that you are strong in your shoes. You have enough self-confidence and self-worth to know that you don’t have to constantly compare or worry about what your ex is doing. Continuing to follow your ex can also mean that you have maintained a friendly bond. Not all relationships end in arguments or hostility. Especially if there are children involved, that friendship is quite important.

So: you have grown in love. Just be proud of that. And secretly, it’s also incredibly nice, of course, to be able to peek at what he’s up to years later. Right? Shhh. You are an adult.
