STM206 Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 I know I'm probably delving way too deep into things but I'm confused right now. So me and my ex aren't facebook friends, and I've found myself slipping up checking his profile - I know not a good thing. However, he had a photo of himself with his new partner. Then a few days later changed the photo back to a photo I had taken of him (I'm a photographer). I just think out of al the photos he could use, why that specific one? I know no one knows the answer I'm just wondering of anyone might have opinions on why this might be? I'm not looking for bashing, I know I shouldn't be checking his profile - I'm trying very hard to refrain from doing so but I guess that'll come with time. The only reasons can think are... 1.) He's trying to make new his partner jealous, since his new partner at one point liked my photography page - so he's aware of who took the photo. 2.) He's sending me smoke signals (pretty sure this isn't the case, but naturally this was something that popped into my mind)
FortunateSon Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 I think you are overthinking this, what good is going to come from looking at his Facebook? I would suggest blocking him and eliminate the question/issue entirely. 3
d0nnivain Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 It's probably just a picture he likes & the choice has nothing to do with you. I have a jewelry EXs gave me that I still wear. It means I like the pieces not that I want the EXs back or I want to make my husband jealous. 3
Zahara Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Too much emphasis over a photo. Fact is, he's with a new partner. Take that on board because that's the reality of it all and forget about a silly picture on FB. And if he was sending you a smoke signal, what's the signal telling you -- that he's thinking of you -- doesn't change the fact that he's still with someone new. Throw out piddly probabilities and pay attention to the reality of the situation. Chances are, he likes how he looks in the picture. I have put up a pic that my ex took of me. Does it mean I'm sending him a smoke signal. Nope. I just like how I look in the picture. 1
Author STM206 Posted May 8, 2014 Author Posted May 8, 2014 You guys are probably right. Thanks for the replies.
LostConfused123 Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 If it's a flattering picture of him, that would be my guess. Especially if he looks good in it. Best of luck to you!

Just a great pic of himself, that's it. Men tend to be pretty straight forward. If they want you (or what you back), you'll know it. Good luck.
LostConfused123 Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 You guys are probably right. Thanks for the replies. Be strong too. I really feel for people that face this issue. My ex didn't have Facebook. Thank God!! I don't know how you guys do it. I think I would have cracked more than once. Stay strong!! ((hugs!)) 1

No Limit Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 The only reasons can think are... ... that he thinks the picture is showing him quite nicely? Not all actions somebody takes are with 'that certain intent', you know.

I think I would have cracked more than once. Stay strong!! ((hugs!)) Thank you. I almost wish facebook never existed but it's a great way to promote your business. I guess each of us as dumpees would naturally think it meant more than it really does. I just find it funny that out of a few photos I took of him and a million other photos to choose from, THATS the photo he chooses. Hell in my mind if I wanted nothing to do with my ex, I would be adamant on changing everything up so there were no reminders. Especially considering he's with a person that knows about me and vice versa. If I was in his new partners shoes, I think that would bother me a little bit... Changing a photo of us to a picture that his ex took. Where's Miss. Cleo when you need her? Lol!
