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’🤷🏻‍♀️

Just forget him and stop with the teenage drama.

Oh…. This poster is a regular about this kind of drama @ShamrockShenanigans ?

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

I really don't think 'we' do.

Honestly, once someone is an ex, they are an ex for a reason. I've never given any consideration to what an ex's motives, thoughts or feelings might be because, once they're an ex, they're gone from my life and that's that.

A few years ago, an ex of my friend liked my profile picture on fb. We were no longer friends but profile pics are public. They'd split up a year earlier and my profile picture hadn't changed. I had no idea why he'd done it. I told no one and blocked him. The end.

He went straight back to his ex after the end of a 5 year relationship with you Op?

That has to have hurt, and probably explains why you are spending so much time thinking about daftness like this. He has moved on. Now you do the same.

2 years. It's in the first line of the OP.

If I was completely over someone two months after a break up I'm not sure I'd need any context to a message 🤷🏻‍♀️ I wouldn't give it any head space as it wouldn't matter what was implied

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 😂

Because you're giving this juvenile crap headroom. You shouldn't even be giving it a second thought. Your friend is a stirrer.

HTH.

Ps who knows or cares, he sounds like a right prat.
