Ex deleted FB pics of us together after I posted a pic on a date

[yhwh90]

I broke up with my ex about 1.5 months ago. I broke up with her but in reality she wanted to break up, she just couldn't muster up the courage to end it so after some time I ended it. You can read my previous post for more info but basically we broke up because of the distance, as it was LDR. It was too much for her to handle and although I tried to convince her that everything will work out if we work to maintain it she just became more distant, which lead to me ending it.

 

I recently started hanging out with a new girl, I don't intend to make her a rebound because I don't want to hurt in the process of my healing but it's always a good spent with her so I went out with her to a steakhouse and took a pic of the porterhouse steak (her arm happened to be in the picture but I didn't really care as I didn't think anything of it). Now it might seem like I'm using immature ploys to make my ex jealous but I'm honestly not willing to use the girl as a tool. I simply wanted to post a pic of the thick porterhouse steak on Instagram & FB, lol. A lot of my friends are in the fitness field as I am so we we're big on the insta food pics.

 

Before I posted the pictures my ex still had pictures of us on FB. Literally the day after I posted the picture she took all the pictures of me and her down. I'm not sure what to think of it... she wanted to break up and acted very distant and cold with me forcing me to end the relationship and now it seems like my picture of the steak (and the arm of the girl) struck a nerve. What does this mean?

 

I'm getting over her and examined the situation objectively over the past month and a half and I don't want her back simply because life circumstances would make it very difficult for us to be together at the moment, and would most probably lead to break up again if we reconciled anytime soon. What does her action of impulsively deleting the pictures of us mean?

And just so it's out there. I didn't FB stalk her and find out. I've been staying off of her profiles, my best friend told me.

What she does or thinks doesn't matter. She's your X

 

Move on and stay nc

But it does mean she has some level of feelings towards you. The opposite of love is indifference. If she was indifferent she wouldn't give a darn about you having been on a date.

 

That said, especially since she was the dumper, just keep it moving and stay NC.

You're an ex. At some point, those couples pictures had to go. Stop reading into it. Focus on living your life rather than worrying about what motivates someone who's no longer part of your life.

If you are that concerned about your exs old pics of you together and whether or not she cared about your steak picture then you really are in no place to be dating.

 

Don't waste a girls time dating her while you are worried about this trivial stuff. Seriously.

I think it means that she saw you are dating other people, so she wanted to take further steps to move on as well. It's not unusual to move on in increments. Meaning that we often dispose of reminders of our exes over time. Pictures are left on social media, you may still have some of their things out, ect. It took me about 2 years to throw away pictures of my ex's son, and that happened when I switched wallets. It's just one of those things. She probably saw a girl in the picture and decided it was time to take more steps to move on. Oftentimes, seeing that an ex has made a step to move on can serve as a trigger to move on as well. I wouldn't read much more into it than that. It's a process.

As the poster above mentions, she is just removing the photos as part of the moving on process. Yeah, it could be because you posted a pic with another woman and that just sped up the process for her. It hasn't been that long so there are some feelings still involved. While she probably doesn't want to try and get back together, ex's also don't like seeing the other move on with another person in the picture. Bottom line is that no one on here can tell you exactly why she did that, but I would highly recommend elimination her from your facebook. No need for her to be seeing what you are doing. The reason most ex's keep each other on social media is to play games. If you want no drama, then you eliminate her from everything.
