This is my first relationship, and I've been with my bf for 6 months. Once, out of random curiosity, I googled his screen name and found some interesting info. I started to do this on occasion now out of curiosity. I don't want to be creepy, but if you put information about yourself on the web doesn't anyone have the right to view it?

I think stalker is a strong word and no I don't think you are one. If someone puts info into the web sure you have the right to read it, but remember no one is held to tell the truth on the web, If I found out anything about a loved one that bothered me I would confront them with it, if I didn't well I guess then that it really didn't matter.

No, googling people you know, or are in a relationship with, is not stalking behavior. If it's on the internet, it's public info. Most people aren't interesting enough to have new things on the internet every few months though, so googling him over and over again should get boring.
Driving by his house, breaking into his email, asking his friends about him, hiring a private investigator.... this is stalker behavior.

No, you are not a stalker. You are in a relationship with him, and relationships are intimate. You deserve to know what you're involved in. I wouldn't even say you're nosy. Who knows, you could marry this guy, and have children with him. It pays to know who you give your heart to, and the internet is just the place to find things that even the best of friends and lovers don't know about.
And yes-information the person posts on the internet is for the purpose of someone else viewing it (public). So- if he's ok with a complete stranger viewing his information, he should be ok with you viewing it too.

I think you need to be honest with this person and if you found some info that is disturbing then this needs to be dealt with. You deserve to know truth about who you share your life with, but if you are now monitoring her movements online or otherwise, this is definately cause for concern, get help, you are not in a relationship of trust.
The rule is would you like someone doing to you what you have just done.,,,,let her live her life and you live yours if trust is an issue you either work it out or get out

Google is a public domain and any infor he puts on there avaliable to the public means any one can view, even his gf. No your not a stalker, until you try decoding his passwords and peeking through windows. Subtle hints about his "interesting info" could show him you know and are/are not ok with what it is.

I wouldn't say a stalker, since he's your boyfriend. You sound like you might just be doing it out of boredom. Or don't you trust him? To the guy above: what do you mean buy thongs? Not the underwear I'm guessing. What thongs are you talking about?

your not a stalker... everyone is curious about things their "other" might be into.. so it's normal for you to google his name or even read his page everyday to see if anything changes.. your normal with your curiosity... =) good luck and best wishes in everything you do... hope you and your man have a very happy new year!

I wouldn't say you were a stalker, and I don't know if what you are doing is right or wrong. However, I can tell you this -- be prepared to handle whatever you find out. You might stumble across things you didn't want to know. Trust me!

no, i dont think you are a stalker, however, i do think you may be overly curious and suspicious. do you not trust your boy friend ? and if you do then why dont you let him do what he wants and you stop checking up on him. do you do this kind of a thing when he goes out with his friends? i dont think its wrong if you are using this stuff to get to know more about him but any thing else is insecurity on your part.
