Today, I found out that when someone posts a "story" on Instagram, they can see who has viewed it and how many times. I have been viewing an ex's story every day for the past week. We do not follow each other. FML

Caught redhanded

Today, I fucked up by clicking on my ex's new partner's stories while deep-diving into their Instagram. Now they know I'm still lurking in the shadows of their social media because they can see who viewed their stories, and I can feel the judgment radiating through the screen. FML

Dumbass move

Today, I stupidly liked a post on my ex's social media account from three years ago. They then texted me immediately to ask why I was stalking them. FML

Today, I was stalking a popular girl from my high school's account and my phone went bonkers. It looks like I liked and disliked the same video of hers over and over. I disabled my Instagram account. FML

Today, looking on the internet, I came across my ex's Facebook page. Most of the posts were about me, and his profile picture was still of me and him. We broke up over a year ago. FML

Today, I posted a story on Instagram just so a certain someone who has been ghosting me could reply. He didn't. He never even opened my Instagram story. I should give up by now. FML

Don't look back

Today, I looked at my ex’s Instagram stories and found out that during our relationship, she was taking her now boyfriend to all the places I'd showed her. They’ve lasted way longer than we did, and she’s the one who left me. Seems like she liked how I treated her, just not me. FML

Today, my ex popped up as someone I might know as Instagram, complete with his workout photos. My fiance is mad at me for showing these to my family, even though the consensus is that my ex looks like a condom stuffed with marbles. FML

Curiosity!

Today, I got curious and decided to look for my ex's social media after he blocked me off everything. I found him on LinkedIn and it is only after I click on his profile that I remembered, he will be notified that I looked him up. FML

Today, I was scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed and I noticed my boyfriend had commented on a post. It said, "Tag the hottest girl you know". Yeah, he tagged his ex. FML

I knew about who views it. But I did not know about the amount of times that person viewed it. That’s interesting

And you still wonder why she dumped you in the first place.

where exactly does it even imply that the ex is a girl?

Pretty sure that's a female sign under the fml... so 95% chance that the ex is a guy... (3% of US identifies as Gay or Lesbian)

I doubt he would even look at who checked his story out. But what do I know, I'm an instanoob.

Most people at least take a glance. Kinda part of the insta-fun.

Unless he checks to see who views them, he wouldn't know about it. I am not sure how long it has been since the break up, but I hope you will be able to move on soon. It's tough, but stay strong, OP!

You do follow him — not in the new-fangled, click-a-button way, but in the old-fashioned, creepy stalker way. Your version takes more effort and is more disturbing.
