I had been with my ex for nearly 5 years when he walked out of my house 6 months ago, telling me that he was sick of me and to not contact him again. We hadn't been arguing, the relationship (I thought) was good so it completely blindsided me. I also had to pick up the pieces with my DS who loved him to bits.
I haven't heard from my ex since he left so I never knew what the reason was. I never text him to ask either as I was so angry/upset/shocked at how he had behaved.
I've spent the last 6 months getting over the relationship, and although I'm not completely there, I feel much better about things. I've also spent a lot of time at the gym and feel/look better.
I posted a photo of myself on Instagram yesterday (I don't usually) and I woke up this morning to find that my ex had liked it. He stopped following me when we split up, but my profile is open to the public so he can still see if he looks for me.
I am using all the strength I have to not text him. I don't even know what I want to say. I'm wavering between wanting to reach out to him and asking him how he has the absolute audacity to like my photo after the way he treated me.
In reality I know I 100% shouldn't text him anything whatsoever ever. Could I have some reassurance that is the right thing to do? When we were together he had a habit of making me question everything I was thinking/doing and it looks like he's still having the same effect.
