Breakups are usually nasty; some relationships get broken amidst tears and pains. The affected people in some of these bad breakups hold grudges against each other for a long time.
Some people are vengeful; they would always do things that would make their exes mad despite having gone separate ways. They enjoy the fact that they still have certain powers and authorities over them even though they are miles apart.
Depending on the level of maturity of the individuals that have separated, things may not be as bad as people think they would be if they handle things well. Some individuals believe they have the right to say whatever they want since they are no longer within the confines of a relationship.

They take to their social media pages and update their thoughts there as a way of reaching out to their exes. They know that their status updates would always be checked by the overzealous partners who enjoy stalking them.
