My ex and I have been split up for just over 2 weeks now with no contact. But on Thursday he messaged me asking how I was feeling, how work was going and then said my new profile picture was nice. I’ve not heard from him since.. why would he message then nothing? I don’t get it what’s the point? I was struggling before but I was doing ok and now I’m back to square one.

Block him so that he can't ruin it for you. He only messaged to see if you're still hurting over him, to get an ego stroke

Why did you two break up?

He might have had a moment of loneliness or boredom. Did you reply to his message, and if so, what did you say?

he was taking your temperature to see if he could get sex from you.

EDIT - he messaged again today. One minute saying he loves me but wants to be friends, then the next saying he wants to take baby steps. Getting fully mixed signals. My head feels so confused and upset.

The nature of his reasoning depends on the circumstances of your relationship and also how the breakup occurred. If you dumped him with no warning then he's probably just scrambling figuring out if things are really over. If he dumped you he's at the very least breaking no contact with is not good for either of you. Or worse, he could have dumper's remorse or whatever he thought might happen didn't pan out or he's just looking for sex or an emotional high as someone pointed out. More information from you equals better advice and a richer perspective from us. :)

We could really use the backstory of this break-up, Anon. It would help us help you

Text him back and tell him to just stop. Then block him.

He's continuing to take your temperature to see if you will give him sex. Afterwards, he's going to quickly remember that he doesn't want a relationship with you and you will be 1000 steps behind square one.
