More than a half of Facebook users, by means of this social network, stalk their
ex-partners. Specialists claim that such a behavior may badly affect mental
health of jealous ex-boyfriends or girlfriends.
The
recent studies show that by stalking their ex-partners, Internet users risk
having mental problems. Psychologists stress that dwelling on the past and the
inability to handle the break-up may cause significant mental disorders.

University psychologist Tara Marshall admits that stalking was in the past
much more difficult than it is nowadays. There was no Internet, so it
was harder to find out what our ex-partner was doing at the given moment or who
he or she was dating. Therefore, it was easier to come to terms with the
break-up.
However,
the longer we stay friends with our ex-partner (either in the real life or on Facebook), the harder it is for us to
deal with the break-up. According to Tara Marshall, “Facebook may furnish information about an ex-partner that only
intensifies heartbreak.” She claims that we should avoid our former partners,
both offline and online, for it is “the best remedy for healing a broken heart.”
