So on facebook, my boyfriend recently subscribed to his ex-girlfriend's status updates so that now he gets notifications EVERY time she updates her status or uploads a photo or pretty much posts anything new on her Facebook Wall. Do I have any reason to be concerned?

He and her are still friends. He's been dating me for 11 months. When he and I started dating, he still had some feelings for her. I don't know if he still does now, but they have each other's numbers and they text(as friends according to him).

Doesn't matter if it's Facebook. I think in this case he's still into her.

People are taking Facebook far too serious. It's just Facebook and is not serious at all. I'm sorry if I'm coming across as rude but you need to put this from your mind. He's with you and the fact that he subscribed to her on facebook means nothing. Try not to take it seriously, because it really is not.

So to answer your question No you have no reason to be concerned. It's understandable that he still had some feelings for her because when you're with a person obviously there was something there and usually feelings like that never entirely fade, but it honestly sounds like you have nothing at all to worry about.

Good luck with your relationship.

Sounds like a second red flag. The first one being that he still had some feelings for her when you both started dating. So are you are rebound or something serious? My boyfriend does subscribe to status updates of his ex girlfriends on Facebook too. But he was already over them before I met him, and I made sure he wasn't carrying emotional baggage into our relationship or i'd have dumped on him the spot. This is something you might have to discuss with your bf though, or the mistrust between you two will creep in and slowly disintegrate your relationship

It's fine, as long as he's subscribed to you 2. Also, I would less worried if he was subscribed to a few people at the least. And if he has feelings for another girl at the same time, I wouldn't have gone out with him in the first place.

Think about it - who do you subscribe to? I bet there are a few people he might be jealous of too. I honestly think that if you have a problem that revolves around facebook, it's not a problem at all. Chill out, it doesn't mean anything.

Sorry to be blunt but he's still into her, very much so, iv it's been 11 months too he's probably in love, try doing it to him and see how he reacts to you seeing every single move a boy or ur ex makes on Facebook and texting him. Good luck

It's just facebook. He's with you at the end of the day not her. Keep that in mind. I know it can be tough but you just need to remember that.
