I don't know my ex boyfriend's purpose but he asked my best friend how I was doing. Why did he have to ask her how I was doing? Why didn't he just ask me straight up?

 

He's also "involved" with my childhood friend that I grew up with…right after we broke up, even when the breakup was still very fresh….. She walked in the room, the first thing he did was he made this freaked out face and looked straight into my best friend's face and told her, "I didn't know she was coming"

 

We haven't talked in almost a year. So…why does he feel the need to behave that way?

Honestly, I wouldn't spend much time thinking about it. Sorry if that comes across rude! It sounds like he may just be curious as to how you are getting on without him.

He's an "ex" for a reason, so move on.

 

Who cares why he's asking ? He's not in your life any more, so don't waste any more of your precious time thinking about his motivations.

We did end on really bad terms and we always wanted to remain on good terms….However, that couldn't happen….. I feel like I've moved on for the most part.. He was a huge part of my teenage life so I do wonder about him sometimes. It throws me back just a bit when I hear he asks about me even after almost a year of No contact.

Any more opinions? I would totally appreciate objective comments to get my head back on track to healing 100 percent.

He was just curious. Human curiosity.

Like you said, it ended on bad terms even though you both wanted to remain friends so I think that probably shows that you should just stop thinking about him and ignore the fact that he's asked about you. It is a very strange thing when exes decide to suddenly check up on how you are! I've found that the best way is to just stop thinking about it and move forward. The best revenge is a life well lived :)

Trust me when I tell you that he did you a favor by not asking you straight up.

It's probably a really simple reason. He was just curious, and, since you haven't talked in a year, he didn't want to ask you personally.
