A few months prior to lockdown, I was back in touch with an “ex”. There was talk of meeting up and having another go, which I just couldn’t quite commit to as he hurt me a lot before. More than once. But I know I would have eventually. Then obviously lockdown happened. Eventually contact dwindled in about April. We had re-added each other on SM, but never interacted on there at all.
He recently put up a photo of him and what is obviously a new girlfriend. Ouch, but okay.
Days later I get a message, asking how I am. Then going on again to ask if I’m happy, that he cares about me a lot, thinks about me a lot. I asked why he was asking. He said because he cares. I said I was, glad he was, and that was it. No reply. Another few days and he liked a photo i put on SM.
I feel like he’s rubbing my face in it and wants to make sure I don’t forget him. I feel like I need to delete him. I don’t want to see him with someone else.
Or is he just saying let’s put all this behind us and be friendly? And me deleting him will come across as bitter?
Sorry if it all sounds very teenage, I've got a lot on my mind and this is playing on it now too.
Thanks.
