Our phones are essentially another limb for our bodies at this point, so it's no surprise most people consider them a personal space.
So why the heck would exes ever agree to allowing each other access to these technological diaries? Honestly, we don't know, but we're happy to watch if they're willing to do it.
In the video above from Elite Daily, five couples talk about their past relationships, as well as who they're now involved with — and that's where it gets interesting.
From talking about how much better sex was with their ex to the possibility of getting back together, there are relationship patterns here that are recognizable for many.
Check out the video above, and ask yourself — would I ever, in a million years, allow for this to happen?

Getting Over A Breakup
Do A Social Media Detox(01 of11)
Yes, right away. Seeing your ex pop up in your Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram feeds won’t help you accept the breakup. Unfriend, unfollow, move on. "It'll be hard. You won't want to,” says Tamarisk Saunders-Davies, a psychotherapist and life coach. "But you must.” (credit:Tim Robberts via Getty Images)
And Keep The Worst Of It Offline(02 of11)
It can feel cathartic to unload your sadness onto your Facebook feed: YouTube videos of breakup songs, sad status updates, crying selfies. Don’t! The reality is the majority of people on your Facebook feed are not interested, and your true friends might have fewer emotional reserves for you if they have your breakup in their face 24-7. Pick up the phone or arrange a time to meet up with a friend if you really need the catharsis. And keep this important reminder for Saunders-Davies in mind before you post: “The evidence of your unravelling and emotional spilling will be forever publicly recorded!"

Accept That You’re Grieving(03 of11)
Nobody died, but getting over a relationship that’s ended is a grieving process all the same. "Here's the bad news — it will hurt, your heart will ache but the only way out is through, meaning the fastest way to recover from the pain of a break up is to allow whatever feelings you're feeling to bubble up,” Saunders-Davies says. Get those feelings out to a sympathetic ear, she suggests, keeping in mind that dealing with them now is the best way to avoid having them hanging around for longer than they’re useful.

Don’t Make Friends Choose Sides(04 of11)
Navigating friendships can be tricky after a breakup. Try to keep shared friends out of the fray of the relationship’s fallout, at least in the early days. But demanding that friends choose sides can backfire by making them feel resentful. On the other side of things, it’s okay for you to ask friends to not keep you up to date on your ex’s activities; it’s understandable to need some distance, and if you’re truly solid you’ll have lots of other stuff to discuss. Plenty of people maintain relationships with mutual friends after they’ve broken up — it just requires a concerted effort to act fairly and maturely, by all parties.

Allow Yourself To Grieve The Loss Of Friends Too(05 of11)
Unfortunately, some people do choose sides, and it may not always work out in your favour. That definitely stings, and losing friends is doubly hard when you’re dealing with the loss of a relationship at the same time. "Allow yourself to process and heal from your breakup first before looking to repair any lost or strained friendships,” Saunders-Davies says. "They may feel hurt or upset in their own way by your breakup and you'll need to be strong enough to hear them out and let them know you're ready and willing to do what it takes to repair your relationships.” In the meantime, put your energy into your strong friendships, or reconnect with people you care about but may have lost touch with.

And Don't Rush Into Having New Ones(06 of11)
As for the well-meaning friends who try to set you up with someone new the second you’ve changed your relationship status on Facebook, Saunders-Davies says you’re well within your rights to say thanks, but no thanks. "Communicating your boundaries to friends who love you and have your best interests at heart is a delicate balance of respect and creativity,” she says. "Thank them for their concern and firmly state that you're not feeling ready to date." (credit:Hill Street Studios via Getty Images)
Let Go Of Closure(07 of11)
"People get really hung up on getting closure, getting caught up in the trap that it's something you can only get from your ex,” Saunders-Davies advises. "It becomes totally disempowering.” You may never get all the answers as to why things didn’t work out, she says — and sometimes the answer is that it just didn’t, through no fault of either party. If you’re struggling with the idea of closure, find a way to accept the uncertainty so you can move on. (credit:Riou via Getty Images)
Have Fun Your Own Way(08 of11)
People in a relationship tend to spend a lot of time together, Saunders-Davies says, so when the relationship ends that can leave you feeling like you’ve forgotten how to entertain yourself. Of course, that’s not true — you just need to spend some time finding new ways (or rediscovering old ways) to have fun. Make like the girl in “Hotline Bling” and go dancing with friends, take up an old hobby, or plan a trip you’ve always wanted to take. (credit:Everste via Getty Images)
Love Yourself First(09 of11)
The end of a relationship means not only grieving the loss of a person in your life, but also the loss of the plans you had together — even the person you were in that relationship. Part of moving on is falling in love with yourself again: remind yourself of all the good you have in your life and everything that is great about you, and focus on developing those things. "Once you shift your focus on something that is more empowering to you, like your family, friends, career or doing some good in the world, you know that you are emotionally secure enough to include another individual in your life,” she says.

Dating Again(10 of11)
How do you know when you’re ready to get back out there? Counterintuitively, Saunders-Davies says, the best indication that it’s time to start dating may be when you’re not obsessing about it because you’re enjoying your life as it is. "Usually, when you are getting over a breakup, you tend to focus on replacing your ex with someone else,” she says. (credit:Inti St Clair via Getty Images)
How To Tell When It’s Not Just The 'Blues'(11 of11)
Feeling sad after a breakup is normal, but not being able to get out of bed for weeks on end is not. "If the symptoms of grief don't seem to be improving much over time you may be dealing with depression,” Saunders-Davies says. "See your doctor or better yet, ask around for the details of a reputable therapist to help you process your feelings." (credit:Fuse via Getty Images)
