Has anyone felt that they have been checked outPage 1 of 2    (1, 2)
Has anyone on here ever felt that they have been either messaged or contacted through the site in some way by either their x or one of the x's friends trying to get information. I'm sure that I have .

No never, but it wouldn't bother me in the slightest. I wouldn't give out information on here I wouldn't want anyone to know anyway.

What makes you think you have???

I'm sure it happens, and if you live in a small town or within a few miles of your ex am sure it's inevitable even if there was no conscious effort by them, As an example one of the dad's at my kids school printed off my Ex's profile and gave it to me where it stated she was 'single' and said 'all my children are over 18' (both untrue as the divorce won't come through until July and we have 2 at primary school).

Naturally her choice but I did find it a little strange that anyone (particularly a woman) would deny the exisitance of her own children, but am sure men do this all the time!

As has been previously stated I don't see the problem if you've got nothing to hide and your info is correct

What makes you think youve been "checked out" by an ex OP?
And if you have why would you care?
If I had an ex on this site I would definately check out their profile - Im just nosey like that ( winking icon thingy ;)

some bloke who took a shine to me used multiple profiles to make contact... i found it a bit creepy to be honest... but thats because i have lots to hide...

my ex hubbie thought i made undercover contact with him and he was messaging some random women with me in mind and was quite disappointed when he realised he really wasn't talking to me... i think he quite liked the idea of me stalking him...

i reckon most people enjoy the idea of being a little bit harassed by their ex's, it makes them feel special and gives them something to bleat about when they are looking for attention...

I would have no issue if an ex or one of their friends contacted me on here if either surreptitiously or openly. If you have nothing to hide why would it be a problem?

Nah....I only have one ex who might be that nosy and we have mutual friends/family on Facebook so if he wanted to know anything he'd start there.

Not on this site, no. However, I have in the past had girlfriends try and trip me up by using a fake profile.

My ex was on here for a while some time ago and I know he viewed my profile but other than that he didn't get in touch.

If he'd got in touch I would probably have chatted, as we're still friends. I think he was just being nosey though, and that doesn't bother me cos I'm nosey too.

How sure are you ? or could it be that you are being just a tad paranoid ?.

Just because you are paranoid does not mean they are not out to get you.
If you had seen my x's behaviour on here which included giving some guy all my daughters personal info so that he knew what to say when he contacted her then nothing would surprise me.

I am sorry my intention was not to offend you , but you have not given any information as to why you think you are being checked out , and that is why i asked " could you just be a tad paranoid "
Maybe if you had explained the reasons as to why you think you are being checked out , then people like myself would have a better understanding of where you are coming from .

No offence taken !! It was just an innocent post as I know other sites like facebook are used to obtain info which has been used for various purposes.
Some divorces may be sweet and amicable. Some are not and there can be financial reasons.
One other reason would be to prove infidelity.

No, I dont think so, and if I have...meh.

I have spoken to guys here though that admitted to setting up an extra fake profile to 'test' the person they have just started seeing...I dont think thats healthy or a very good start.

I've checked out someone who wanted to date me. He kept calling and texting every five minutes and alarm bells were ringing: needy and pushy so unattractive.

I don't know why I googled him, I think it was because his surname was so unusual. Well you could have knocked me down with a feather when his name, address, telephone number and email address appeared on the BNP membership list!

His ex-wife I never knew he had is black allegedly and his kids mixed race so it's not him, oh he had been to a meeting but didn't know it was BNP...pathetic. I don't know if that's his politics why he wanted to date me.
