Wendy,
I don't think it's abnormal to keep track of what ex friends or girlfriends are doing. I stay curious about the lives of everyone I've known. And you thought at the time that this person would have his own reasons to find the board interesting. You haven't really lost much more privacy than if your ex was a member of a group of mutual friends who would fill you in on each others doings. This is a public place. It may be a good idea to keep out of your posts anything that you can't stand the idea of a friend potentially knowing.I'm not saying I'd like it myself. I don't tell anyone that I post here and I'm not that open about what I do post for just that reason. But you don't sound like you feel threatened either so I think that stalker scenarios are premature.
Did you tell him that it bothered you? Or is that the point of this thread?
Jane
PS On rereading I realize I sound unsympathetic. I'm really not. It would bother me like crazy if I were in your shoes.
