A recent study says that the coronavirus pandemic is making us miss our ex. Is that you? Don't answer out loud, someone may hear you. Science Direct asked the question: Why do we search for an ex online.

Why We Check For An Ex Online

According to psychologist Dr. Jaime Zuckerman, "this desire is normal because we are looking for comfort during uncertain times." We tell ourselves that we are "just curious" what they are up to.

It's been suggested that we keep tabs on our ex because we want to know if they are seeing someone new, if there is a chance of getting back together, or hoping that they are worse off without you. It even has a name, it's called "Friends With Exes."

The One Thing That Your Exes Have In Common

I've been told that some of my exes were psycho, then I realize that they all had ONE thing in common...Me. I have the feeling I may have made them that way. When I think back to my younger days, I didn't treat them the way that I should.

I've said more than once, that I make a good friend but not a good boyfriend. If that's you, I'M SO SORRY, you deserved better.

We all have our reasons for checking on an ex like boredom or longing for something familiar. However, it may be best if we continue to "social distance during these difficult times". Yes, I was going for the cliche there.
