Breadcrumbs? Ex liked several photos of our dog

[crystal_77]

First off, just to clarify, I don't want to get back together with this guy. After 2+ years together, he ghosted me and I found out later he was seeing another girl behind my back at the very end. He's with her now and wasted no time posting about how beautiful and wonderful she is on social media. He's love bombing her the same way he love bombed me and every other girlfriend he's ever had. We've been broken up for months now.

 

The other day, my best friend posted a series of photos on IG. She posted photos of our dogs running around. He liked every photo that had my dog in it and skipped any photos without my dog. Earlier this year, my ex suggested getting this puppy and insisted on getting a hyperactive trendy breed to brag about. He only lived with it for about a month around 6-7 months ago. He never even tried to talk with me about who would take care of this expensive and hyper puppy. I was just left with it. In my opinion, it's not his dog anymore.

 

Anyways, I'm not friends with him on IG, and my friend didn't realize he was still following her account. What would you think of these recent likes? Is he feeling guilty? Trying to make her think he's a "nice guy"? Trying to **** with my head? I am really annoyed. Any insight would help me make sense of this. Thank you.

Annoying. Is it possible to block him so you don't see his inane likes? I had an ex do this and I didn't have peace until I blocked him.

Probably, I'll look. She told me about it though. Hopefully I won't have to experience this again.

It only takes about 20 minutes to fall in love with a dog. He loves the dog. He misses the dog. He probably wishes he could have a dog.

I get that. But can't he just "like" the photos in his head instead of actually pressing like on her posts?

You don't want him back anyway, so where is the harm?

After being lied to daily, used for sex and money, cheated on, and ghosted, I think any contact with an ex is bound to bring back old hurt feelings.

Sure...and tell your friend you don’t want to hear about it if he likes her pics again.

I have my ex blocked on all social media so that I can't see these kinds of things. Unfriended helps, but blocking closes the door and doesn't allow you (remember, our goal is to stop caring about what they think/feel, and to stop feeling anything for them) to see anything that they may like/post. That said, I agree with snowcones and made it clear to all of my friends and their significant others that may still follow my ex for whatever reason that I don't want to know **** about her. Until I'm over this hearing anything about her now is just a trigger that I don't need in my life. Give it a shot.
