BF shared a picture of him and his ex. Weird or normal?

[NonplussedwithFB]

DP and I have been very dodgy lately for various reasons and I'm hormonal so I don't really trust my judgement. It's about shitty FB too so look away now if you hate it.

This morning he has shared a post from that timehop thing. The post is a picture of him and his long term ex (no kids, not married but together over a decade) from 8 years ago. They broke up 6 years ago.

We've been together 2. His family don't seem to like me very much and his mum still has pictures up of his ex, so I'm very sensitive. Do you think it's weird that he's shared it? He's friends with her on there so she will have seen it. As will all his family. As yet nobody has liked it. WIBU to put a 'love' on it sarcastically!

Pity him. Idealising somebody who didnt want him.

No worries Dad I understood what you meant.

He finished her though charis in pretty traumatic (for her) circumstances.

Maybe he feels guilty about what he did (it was very bad tbh, not cheating but relates to a baby) and they therefore can't fully let each other go. He's lost me over it though. I think he'll come to regret that.

What do you mean it relates to a baby? Sorry but he is looking worse by the minute.

fucking weird. my dp's family are all still chins on fb with his ex gf.

I loathe Facebook... I'm sorry this has made you feel this way Lady

I know you're in the middle of this right now and it feels horrific, but honestly it could've been so much worse. You're only 2 years in, living separately, no marriage or kids together. I realise it feels like a small mercy right now, but thank your lucky stars he's shown his true colours now and not after you've entwined your lives together further.

He doesn't appreciate you and he doesn't deserve you. Nor do his treacherous family.

bunch of wankers. Im glad youre done with it. Well done for not putting up with bullshit anymore

He's texted this morning with 'Did you have a nice evening?' as though nothing has happened. What a twat.

What a bunch of wankers they are! I hope you tell him firmly to jog right on! Can’t imagine for a minute sharing a picture of me and my ex in FB - he would also think I was being a total weirdo if I did!
You aren’t over reacting and every right to be pissed if by this. Find someone who doesn’t play mind games and behave like a 12 year old.

Did you write back? I hope you've blocked him

Whoops sorry I don't know where that biscuit came from!

I think a quick reply
'Fuck off you twat and don't contact me again'
and then blocking would do the trick about now!

I haven't even 'read it' just flashed up on my phone.

I'm going to say that hells but he needs to pay me the 500 quid he owes me first!

Does he have the money?
If not then I'd write it off and put it down to experience.
You will open up again to the right person when the time is right.
38 is no age at all.
Don't give up entirely - just for a little while.

get your Money honey ... then BLOCK x

Sounds like he wasnt a good enough man for either of you.

So I've just read the entire thread. One word - loser!

You can seriously do better and I can tell by your tone you've had enough.

And you're still young, plenty of time to meet someone much better!

Oh money involved?

I'd reply 'Fine thanks hon, sorry haven't been in touch for a few days, had a bit of a horrid time - can't go into details right now but I urgently need back the £500 I loaned you. I can sub you later on if necessary but really need the cash right now- can you transfer it? Thanks baby'

then BLOCK

Fizzy I really couldn't bring myself to be that nice to him (even if I'm faking) I could happily take an axe to his head at the moment.

How are you OP? What did you decide to do?

I'm okay. I pointed out that most reasonable people would be upset by it and his reaction showed we have very different opinions on boundaries and therefore I don't think we should be together and when can I expect my money back? He didn't respond at all until today and he sent two messages:

'I'm sorry. I'm depressed and didn't want to think about anything. How much do I owe you?'

and then, when I didn't respond immediately he said well you've blocked me on FB anyway so pointless writing this. I haven't blocked him, I've just deactivated it because I don't want to see the fucking picture

I responded, couldn't help myself but now I could kick myself because he's gone back up blanking me. I just want him to acknowledge how hurtful it was.

What an arsewipe he is.

I don’t think usnevesarily disrespectful, after 8 years, if they ended in an amicable way, she is like a family member (ie lots of history together but no attraction).

I am friends with most of my ex boyfriends, but just the ones that were nice and I did not break my heart. Just those where the things fizzled down into a fruendship. Having said that, I would go ballistic at my family making a fuss at an ex if they do not make the same of much more fuss for the current partner.

Necessarily, not that word that I wrote

Send an amount Owed.... that is all you send
