Upset at ex?

NC because I'm embarrassed.

Broke up with my ex only a couple of weeks ago. We have a baby together, 10 months old.

My choice to end things. Lots of reasons, mainly not feeling loved and supported. Lots of little lies too. Gave him many chances to change/step up but didn't.

My single friend has sent me a screenshot of my ex on a dating app. I've also clocked that he's changed his profile picture on WhatsApp to one from 3 years ago where he must think he looks good.

I know we aren't together so I have no right to be upset. But I feel it. It's been a couple of weeks. Not to mention he's seen his child once in that time for 2 hours!

But he has time to date/find someone new?

I've asked him what his plan is for seeing our child and if he will commit to regular days and times and he's giving me the run around.

It sounds like you're going to need to do this on your own because he's not interested in being a parent, just in meeting the next poor girl to repeat the pattern

He has every right to be on dating apps and change his profile picture he is single. But he needs to step up and be a Dad, it's 2 separate issues.
