And often times, satisfaction won’t bring it back. That’s what I’m learning more often than not.
I have this insufferable curiosity that leads me to want to spy and snoop and have some sort of eye or ear on certain people. That would be the only reason I keep people as “friends” on such sites as Facebook or MySpace1. The MIL recently requested me as a friend on Facebook again, and for the fuck of it, I added her back. What’s one of the first things I see on her wall when it takes me to her profile? Her recent addition of a certain husband’s ex-girlfriend as a friend and their correspondence. I really shouldn’t get so up in arms over it, since it’s really not doing me any good getting all irritated and angry, but how can I help that? Seeing that girl’s face brings up a wave of anger and insecurity in me. Not to mention, she’s much preferred by the husband’s family than I am.
It reminds me that I’m kind of fighting a seemingly endless battle. That’s usually how I end up feeling when I keep an eye on these types of people – that or I’m missing out. Either way, I don’t feel good and I need to stop. It’s masochistic, what this curiosity does to me, and I know at least one other friend who suffers from the same affliction and ends up feeling as I do. WE NEED TO STOP!
OR! Anybody care to try and Eternal Sunshine this bitch out of the husband’s and his family’s minds? :D Mine too… Don’t forget me. I really want to forget other people who ended up having nothing but a negative impact on my life, as well.
Does anyone else have a problem with their curiosity getting them into trouble, either with other people or with themselves?

I can honestly say that I am the same way. I kept “tabs” on a certain person on facebook and it only depresses and angers me. I wish I could totally erase this girl from my life but I keep having this seemingly uncontrollable desire and need to check up on her. Ugh! I wish I had the will power to stop! I hate this girl with a passion but can’t seem to remove her from my facebook friends list. If you ever figure out how to stop please let me know!

I have such an issue with internet stalking people, lol. But most of the time, it’s so I don’t feel “stupid”. I have this uncontrollable fear that everyone is fake with me, and lying about their entire life. No idea why. o.O I obviously have my own reserves, but I also would never purposely add someone JUST to lurk them. That is immature. I would have removed her asap. Seriously.
I know the feeling, and it’s very disrespectful of her to be friends with your husband’s ex. It’s like deameaning you, and that’s hurtful. She probably wanted to add you or you to add her just so you could see what was going on. I’ve been in similar situations and a recent one, unfortunatly caused so much internet drama that I have left my twitter account. I found out that friends I had, were not friends at all. Just because I did not give into their boyband obsession they turned on me. I have nothing against the boy/man band they love but…in a way it’s more like a middle aged boy band. I still do get curious to read their twitter pages JUST to see what they talk about…although I think I need to not do that anymore, simply because they are not worth my time.
Sometimes we get curious and yes, it kills the cat, perhaps we all need to learn not to let the curiosity get the best of us.

I actually didn’t think that she added me just so I could see her & the ex getting all buddy-buddy. I wouldn’t put it past her since her mentality is very adolescent as far as how she treats people she doesn’t like. The thought of that being her motive just irritates me more, but I’m trying to forget about her and her BS towards me.

I’d feel the same way about that particular situation. Ugh.

I *ahem* do the same thing, hahahaha. Recently I finally went through and forced myself to delete a bunch of people who I was just keeping on out of curiousity. I would love to help you erase that ho from all their heads.. I can only imagine how it feels to have them against you, ugh.
