He's already moved on

Me and my ex broke up less then a week ago and he's already liking pictures of other girls, I don't know why but this hurts me.

Does this mean he never really cared?

How do you know he's liking pictures of other girls? Block access to what he's doing online and get on living your life!

GiantHaystacks2021 · 18/08/2021 09:42

No surprises there.
A lot of them do that. Any hole is a goal.
Block him and move on with your life.

@NorthernDramaLlama I am friends with the girl, who he's liking pictures of.

It's hard because I'm getting texts like I miss you, I love you, yet he's doing that

Is it Facebook or something? He's liking pictures of joint friends knowing you'll see that he liked it?

Block, delete, ignore, eventually you'll move on. ❤️

Once it’s over then it is no matter who ended the relationship. Block and delete as others have said and move on.

NorthernDramaLlama · 18/08/2021 09:46

Let your friend know about the texts he's sending you so she knows what he's like. She'd be a mug to allow herself to get involved with him!

Pinkbonbon · 18/08/2021 09:48

Wtf is he sending you 'I love you're texts after breaking up? Who does that? He sounds like a headfucking wanker. Tell him you're done and he isn't to contact you anymore. Then block him on everything.

whatagloriousthingtobe · 18/08/2021 09:51

Was you together a long time ? To be liking pics of anyone after you break up is going to hurt, but to do it to one of your friends is just taking the piss. It sounds like your better off without him, he's showing you his true colours. It might not seem like it atm but he's doing you a favour.

Dacquoise · 18/08/2021 09:52

So he's keeping you on the backburner with the 'I miss you texts' but putting the feelers out for something new? Some people don't cope well being on their own. Doesn't mean he didn't care but do you really want to be someone's back up plan?

I would avoid anything that lets you know what he's up to until you are over him and concentrate on yourself. You deserve better.

Whydoesithurt · 18/08/2021 09:58

@whatagloriousthingtobe 4 years, it just seems a bit strong because he said "I won't be moving onto anyone else" "I wanted our family" and now he's following and liking this girl Sad

Yuk. He's keeping you dangling in case he fancies a quick free shag. Block him for goodness sake. He's made his views clear

Pinkbonbon · 18/08/2021 10:08

Assuming he was the one who broke up with you? What reason did he give? Some wishy washy bs about loving you but not knowing what he wants? Or similar crap straight from they player guide book.

He'll be looking around to see what else is out there. And if all else fails he will attempt to come back with a sob story about realising he never should have left. Either that or he is keeping the door open to have non committal sex with you.

Block.

girlmom21 · 18/08/2021 10:09

Block him and you won't see who he's liking pictures of.

Whydoesithurt · 18/08/2021 10:50

Do I tell him I know he's liking another girls pictures if he gets into contact with me again?

OP posts:
Pinkbonbon · 18/08/2021 10:52

No, just don't reply. Make it clear he is no longer relevant in your life.

He wants you to react to him liking those pictures. Because that would mean you are still closely paying attention.

You've no reason to reply to anything anymore. He is your ex not your buddy.

girlmom21 · 18/08/2021 10:54

No, just block him. He's proved he doesn't miss you as much as he says he does.

Pinkbonbon · 18/08/2021 10:58

Actually if he attempts the I miss you crap again, i would be tempted to send him that meme where regina george in Mean Girls goes goes 'boo you whore' and hangs up the phone. Or the meme from Elf where he goes 'you sit on a throne of lies'. Because both imply that you know - but just dont care.

Then block.

But seriously op I'd just block as is.

Dacquoise · 18/08/2021 13:33

No I wouldn't let him know this has upset you. Keep a dignified silence about it but perhaps tell him you don't want to hear from him again. Grieve for the relationship, take your time and get out there again when you are ready. Don't allow him to think you are available to him for your self esteem.
