Updated profile pic has got on my nerves

Last summer I was chatting (initially in a work context) with a guy who then began telling me he had feelings for me and couldn't stop thinking about me, arranged to meet and he stood me up and ghosted me. After reading through the messages he had sent, they were filthy and showed what he was really like.

He posted a photograph just around the time of the ghosting on Facebook, showing him looking rather tubby and I concluded he was a pillock and I had had a lucky escape.

Today he has posted a new profile picture on Facebook (I haven't blocked him but have never engaged with him since the ghosting. I did call him out, but that was in December and he read the message in May!) I don't want anything to do with him.

The profile picture today that has been the first change in over a year shows that he has been to the most exclusive, tough and exacting boot camp in history. Bear Grylls couldn't hack this. He's lost stones, grown more hair and miraculously it is darker, too, set off by a very deep tan.

It has really pissed me off though! I don't know why. I don't want him, he is a fool. Why it has got to me I do not know!

@Sandra15 - Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter. I didn't write that but John Keats did. It's all about what you thought you might have been to each other. But it would probably never be that way.

You are thinking that he might have been different if he hadn't ghosted you, or you had got over it and got back in contact, met up etc. But he's shown you what he's like hasn't he by his sleazy actions.

It's all an illusion in your head. That is what is annoying you.

Hopefully she’s got over him in the last 7 months...
