My b/f, my ex, and I (all adults 25-30) are all redditors. Reddit does not have a hide function for a particular user. I know about RES, but that doesn't help me at work where I'm not able to install software or on my phone where AlienBlue doesn't have a hide or ignore option.

As such, I've found myself reading every little thing my ex posts. I don't respond to them because we're not on speaking terms and I don't want to start shit for him and his woman, but I enjoy knowing that he's happy. For better or for worse, I love him, and I want him to be happy.

At the same time, I know this is unhealthy. I try to stop but i can't seem to. I need some "brain tricking" strategies to stop doing this. I've removed him from my follow list, but I have the URL to his profile page memorized.

Recently, I realized that he's been reading my posts, too (evidenced by a bout of public drama between my b/f and my ex on a thread recently... still not sure why my ex hates my b/f being as everybody got the girl they wanted in the end). Part of me wants to buy him reddit gold so he doesn't switch accounts, and part of me wants to delete my real reddit account of two years and start a fresh one.

The problem at this point is the conflict. I like having the 2yr badge on my acct, but as of this moment reddit is the ONLY possible method of communication between him and I. We have each other blocked on every electronic medium and he not only deleted me from his FB -- he just deleted his whole FB! Then again, even if i go to another username so he can't stalk my posts, i'm still stuck with my obsessive "need" to read all of his.

I've already come so far. I've accepted that reconcile will not happen and have commited myself 100% to my current partner, but this one little thing is still bugging me.

I even tried walking away from reddit entirely. That only worked for about 12 hours. Damned addictions.

Any and all advice appreciated.
