Checking out an ex on social media after marriage may seem like a harmless thing to do because it is possible to stay friends with your ex even after a relationship has gone sour.

However, if you are constantly chasing and finding ways to reconnect with your ex, especially when you are in a stable relationship, it can weaken your trust and emotional connection with your current partner.

rediffGURU Anu Krishna, mind coach and co-founder, Unfear Changemakers, explains how external interference can break a marriage.

Anonymous: My wife has been stalking her ex on Instagram.
First, she said she wanted closure.
They met last year over coffee and she said she felt lighter.
I asked if she felt anything and she confirmed that there was no feelings. But now they are talking day and night on WhatsApp.
Should I worry or talk to my wife about it?

Clearly, there are still some feelings lurking around or she's going back to her ex as she has decided that there is something missing in the marriage.

Yes, you must talk to your wife about it.

You must tell her what you think and feel about this.

Unnecessary external interference can break a marriage, so take necessary steps to work on this issue.

All the best!
