I (21F) have been dating my boyfriend (23M) for a year now, and we’ve been living together almost the entire time. We’ve known each other for two years before that because we worked together. Here’s the issue: my boyfriend’s ex, who he used to live with, has been harassing me since before my boyfriend and I started dating. At that time, I had a boyfriend, and she would send me awful messages on Instagram, calling me a “whore” and other vile things. It was pretty draining.
I noticed that she views my TikToks from her sister’s account and I can’t seem to stop checking her page in return, which I know isn’t healthy, but I can’t help it. Over the past couple of months, she’s been reposting things about an abortion she had with my boyfriend, claiming she regrets it. On top of that, she’s also been reposting about him—even though she has a boyfriend now. I know my boyfriend doesn’t care about her and actually dislikes her, but it still bothers me seeing these posts.
It’s messing with my peace of mind, and I don’t know how to stop letting her actions get to me. I want to move past this, but it feels hard when she’s still so present in my thoughts and on my social media feed. Has anyone dealt with a similar situation? How do I get over this and stop letting her affect my relationship and my mental health?

Dude, tbh, this sounds hella taxing on ur mental health. Block her on all platforms. If she still gets to u through other means, document everything. And remember – ur bf chose YOU over her. Forget about the past, she’s not worth ur time or energy. It won’t happen overnight, but it’ll def get easier over time. Stay strong! 💪
There really isn’t advice for feelings but you can really focus on not looking at her social media and not talking or posting about her. You move forward by moving forward.
Mute or block his ex on social media, talk to your boyfriend about how it’s affecting you, and stop checking her posts. Focus on things that make you happy and shift your mindset away from her. You don’t have to let her affect your peace.
block her on everything so you can get some peace of mind.
Social media is blockable, and optional…
Block her. Block everything.
