He still is on his ex’s social media. Should I be worried.

I do know she broke up with him and shortly tried to reconcile, he said no, but then later told her he was struggling with the breakup and she said she was too. That was mid October ( I think that’s what I was told). I also know that he wanted to marry her/they talked about marriage.


He got dumped by someone he wanted to marry, what, six weeks ago? He is absolutely still hung up on her. You don't move on that quickly, especially not when you're still following their every move on social media.


Yea but he turned her away when she wanted to reconcile. If he likes his previous ex’s pictures and old flings, even the ones that weren’t interested in him, why would liking her pictures be any different? Wouldn’t she just be the same as the others?


And then he went back to her again to tell her he was struggling with the break-up. You don't get over struggling with a break up in a few weeks while perusing all of your exes photos. You're a rebound, don't expect anything more than that.


Not OP, but saying he’s struggling doesn’t mean he went back to her per se. He could be liking her pictures to be nice-show that there’s no hard feelings and to relieve his guilt.


Not wanting her back and being over her are not the same thing. He can know he shouldn't get back together with her and still being emotionally tied up in her and not ready to emotionally connect with someone else. I mean, if OP wants to date this guy knowing he's probably comparing every aspect of her to his ex to find the way that OP is both better and lacking, she can do that. But it rarely ends well, and you spend a lot of time wondering if he's thinking about how much better she was in bed while you're having sex.


So why do you think he’s liking her pictures then?


Huh? I think I've been pretty clear that I think he's liking her pictures because he's still hung up on her.


PP here, then that would mean he’s still hung up on his last ex and flings if you look into liking pictures.

I’ll probably be the only one to think this, but I bet he still wants to be with her.

He’s liking the pictures to get her attention. You don’t go from talking about marrige, telling the person you just turned away you’re having a hard time, to liking her pictures just because he’s hung up.

The difference is time. Past exes that he's had time to move on from but is still friendly with are different from the person he wanted to marry who broke up with him a little over a month ago. Liking her pictures means he's not giving himself any space from her to heal from the break-up.

So if he doesn’t want to move on and heal that sounds like he still wants to be with her, huh?

With some version of her, yes. It may not be the person she revealed herself to be when she broke up with him, but the version of her he knew before the break-up? Absolutely.

It seems like he's one of those people who stays friends with everyone, there doesn't need to be some sort of longing to be with them just because he stays friends and likes their posts. If you're really concerned about it, talk to him about it.

He was dating someone that he wanted to marry and they broke up mid October. And, he started dating you in late October?

You're a rebound.

I know that I wouldn’t be too thrilled w/my boyfriend “liking” something his ex posted on social media.

Most especially if this is a fresh break-up.

It sounds like he hasn’t completely healed from their break-up.

No, TWO months is not enough time to heal your heart after breaking up w/someone you once considered marrying.

He is not ready to be in a relationship w/anyone but himself yet.
Staying w/this person will only cause you much grief later down the road.

Love yourself + walk away while you still have all of your dignity intact.

Store it away in your mind. Do Not mention it to him. Pull back a little and that will tell you what his feelings for you are. Realize this will probably always be a concern of yours with this guy- if not this woman others.
