jl27 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 My "ex" (2 months ago) has been liking all these sad/heartbroken quotes, sometimes even quotes like "whats meant for you will come naturally" recently. I'd say throughout the last 2-3 weeks. Throughout our entire time together, which was one year, I've never noticed him EVER liking quotes like this at all. I know he's a very emotional guy, and he told me that his last GF treated him like he was garbage through a majority of their relationship (they broke up a year and a half ago.) He was a very sweet and caring guy, always understanding and would always get jealous of other guys giving me attention. I'm very confused as to what he's doing, and why he's doing this. I don't want to reach out to him as I know he's looking for attention, or to get the validation that the things he's liking are bugging me/confusing me. These are some of the few that he's liked recently: "if you tasted the best piece of cake in your life, would you still continue to eat it even if a few people tell you its disgusting and they don't like it? "yes", exactly, so why do people give up on the chance to be with someone who makes them happy because of a few things that irrelevant people say." "you'd have to understand how accessible I'm not, to really appreciated how accessible i am to you. Everyones access isn't granted" "positive mind, positive vibe, positive outcome" "after a long day, you shouldn't have to go home to walk on eggshells. You should be able to go home to someone whose only objective is to make you happy and give you peace" "you get what you focus on, so focus on what you want" "sometimes you just have to play the role of a fool to fool the fool who thinks they are fooling you" "whats meant for you will come naturally" "don't let our egos interrupt our ability to communicate. Turning our backs on each other in silence does more harm. Say goodnight, say I'm sorry and always say i love you" Any insight would be appreciated! Link to post Share on other sites
basil67 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 He's doing it because it's what he needs to do for himself. To speculate further would simply be guesswork. Link to post Share on other sites
I AM HERE Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Definitely sounds like subliminal messages to me. If you are no longer interested in him, which is what it sounds like, don't waste your energy trying to understand what he is doing nor why and try to ignore future like's.

Author jl27 Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) Definitely sounds like subliminal messages to me. If you are no longer interested in him, which is what it sounds like, don't waste your energy trying to understand what he is doing nor why and try to ignore future like's. I am still interested in him though. He told me once that he's previously & use to look to see if I liked anything on instagram.. and to see what I was liking. My gut instinct is telling me that he's still looking to see what I've been liking over the past 2 months since I've seen him. I'm using a different approach this time to just "pretend" like it doesn't bug me, but it really does, and I'm going out of my way to NOT like any sad/heartbreak quotes either or anything from that matter, because I feel like he's doing it to see if he'll get a rise out of me... He'll go through spurts of "moving on from someone/focus on yourself" quotes, to the more "sad/heartbroken" quotes ... no idea what he's doing, but its messing hardcore with my head and heart. Literally hurts me so much Edited July 26, 2017 by jl27 Link to post Share on other sites
I AM HERE Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Why did you break up? Why do you want to be with someone who purposely pushes your buttons? Do you want to live the rest of your life "going out of your way NOT" to do things? Link to post Share on other sites
Author jl27 Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 We weren't even dating in the first place. It was more like a friends with benefits type thing, then I guess both of us evolved feelings and nothing came from it. He would get jealous over guys messaging me. & I guess the reason for the "time apart" was because he thought we fought too much (which we did, over stupid pointless things) and him needing to control his "jealousy/trust issues". Now that we've both had time apart (roughly 2 months), I've just been noticing way more sappy/sad relationship posts being liked. He'll bounce between moving on quotes to wanting to be happy with that special someone. I understand what you're saying, but when things between him & I were good, they were beyond exceptional. Yeah we fought a bit more than we should've but it's because we were never in a relationship & I never knew where I stood with him in his life. I've been trying to keep off social media to prevent myself from seeing these quotes he's been liking and its driving me nuts here. Not sure if I just remove him off of everything, or if i just pretend it doesn't bug me as I've been doing for the last 2-ish weeks Link to post Share on other sites
preraph Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I would be more inclined to think he's liking stuff trying to make new friends or new girlfriends. Link to post Share on other sites
