So me and my ex was together 2 years.. we split up in may before me he had been single for 5 years and that ex he was with 5 years ago he's now with again 🙄
My question is My best friend posted something and tagged me in the post he laugh reacted too it and then liked one of her pics 😷
So she messaged him asking why he's liking her stuff and will his gf appreciate that he said he liked it because she looks really nice then said ‘in all seriousness though I hope she's doing good I really do' on about me, so my friend put him in his place and said he's out of order knowing that's she’s my bestfriend and what about his gf to which he replied with 'it is what it is im well known for doing what I'm supposed too'
Wth does that mean specifically 'I'm well known for doing what im supposed too' his ex he's with now they have kids together so could he possibly mean oh I've just gone back for the kids or what? Also I know I shouldn't be over thinking this but I'm only overthinking this because I don't know what it means and yes I know he's liking her shit and reacting to something I'm tagged in because he's still very clearly watching my shit.. he isn't blocked but he's not on my friend list either

it was only 2 months ago after me ending things and me going no contact did he message me weeks late telling me he missed me sending me sad songs all the rest of it knowing I was moving on to then get back with his ex?😂 some ‘men’🤷🏻‍♀️

How old are you all? This is silly. Block him, have your friend block him, and move on with your life.

GoldDuster · 09/07/2025 16:53

Stop overthinking it. He's your ex. You don't need to know what he's saying, or what post's he's liking, it's none of your business. Some men, yes. These are the ones to avoid. Don't let your friend crank up this drama either. Let it go.

Ohthatsabitshit · 09/07/2025 16:53

Just block all contact and enjoy your life

saveforthat · 09/07/2025 16:53

Nobody can tell you that but him. Please don't ask him though. My advice would be to block him so stuff like this won't bother you.

EasternEcho · 09/07/2025 16:54

This sounds like some silly teenage drama on social media. If your relationship is over, block him and move on.

givingitupok · 09/07/2025 16:55

Your friend is shit stirring and causing drama by even contacting him. Just ask her to delete him and be done with it.

Yeah I know it’s childish but I didn’t exactly ask him to do that did I ? I just wanna know what he means by that and obvs had to add context

I know I know but I’m just asking a question hence why I’m here I’m entitled to ask don’t get why everyone’s biting my head off 😂

It doesn’t matter. Literally none of that matters.

Boomer55 · 09/07/2025 16:58

Just forget it. You’re no longer together so not your worry.

yeah I’m deffo not going to ask him hence why I’m here because I am just trying to understand exactly what he meant which is probs what he wants but Yano what it’s like it’s hard not to overthink

You're overthinking. It most likely doesn't mean anything.

By giving into his childishness and getting into a heated debate with him. It's daft. She should just block him.

But it does matter hence why I asked? Don’t judge someone else I think we’ve all been through similar an ex does or says something and we overthink it

He's being sarcastic, aka referring to himself as a troublemaker or a bad boy. Thinks he's billy big balls basically. Don't give him headspace, he'll be feeling like the dogs bollocks having this attention.

Yeah it is daft I agree but I didn’t come on here and ask to be ridiculed for wondering what an ex means I can guarantee atleast half of the people that see this post have had an ex say something and they overthink

It doesn’t matter at all.

You’ve asked for opinions and we’ve been pretty unanimous. If you want people to join you in analysing this non-event and obsessing about your ex, maybe try Reddit?

I'm not trying to make you feel like crap! But I think you're reading too much into his remark.

Idontjetwashthefucker · 09/07/2025 17:03

It doesn't matter, he's an ex. Why do you care, unless you want us all to say he still loves you and is pining for you. Just move on and do some growing up

Thankyou that’s all I needed to know I thought it was similar don’t get why i get ripped into everytime I post giving it ‘forget about it it’s childish’ like either just answer the question or leave?😅😅 thankyou x

Edited

We’ll never know what he meant by it but we know he has a girlfriend he has kids with, and is trying to chat about his ex girlfriend with one of her friends. Not good. Block him.

I genuinely hope this person is a teenager. Otherwise, there’s something fairly fundamental wrong with you.
