Posted by bittercupcakeOr maybe he really has genuinely moved on. I really loved my last ex but he cheated and I moved on within a few months. Heck, I started liking his social media 4 months later. I would like stuff with him and his brother, his food, etc. Didn't mean anything though.Posted by LDM90Exactly. The only way I was able to move on from the Leo was by cutting him off out of my life. But it took me a year to do so and in the meantime, I was dating around and talking to other men. It sucks because a lot of these men wanted something serious with me. I couldn't bring myself to commit though. Even my Aries has said that if we were to break things off, he'd cut off all contact, because it would be too painful to keep me around. He'd only be around if he wanted to be with me.Posted by bittercupcakethis x1000Posted by vanballmoosI don’t understand why you’re asking redundant questions when the answers have already been provided. This guy was talking marriage with his ex who he just broke up with. Ime men don’t talk marriage unless he’s looking for something more concrete. Dating around also doesn’t mean he’ll truly move on. Men process emotions differently. It takes them a while before they begin to experience the heartbreak associated with a breakup. This is why they usually go back after months. He’s just using her as a bandaid to cover up that heartbreak.Posted by bittercupcake1. Since when has liking a picture of an ex, especially when he likes his other exes posts mean he still wants to be with her?Posted by missmissyThis all screams of red flags. Why are you going to stick around with a guy whose just using you as a rebound. He wanted to MARRY her. That’s big for a man. There’s no way he’s over her and it’s clear she’s not over him. I wouldn’t doubt that he’s trying to fix things up with her behind the scenes while you sit here pinning and dreaming about your futures, when the probability is, you two don’t have a future.Posted by HippieGemThat’s what I’m trying to figure out as well. Our mutual friend’s boyfriend knows a lot about their breakup so that’s how I know the details.Posted by LDM90Yeah, a recent ex and paying a lot of attention to them online would really bother me too. I’m just wondering if this is just how he is, doing it just to be nice, or doing it to let the ex know he’s still paying attention and interested.Posted by HippieGemI would agree, BUT it’s one thing to like pictures of an ex from years ago and flings who didn’t amount to anything versus an ex from only a little over a month ago.
At first I felt like you should maybe be worried. But if he does the same with another ex from a longer time ago, maybe that’s just his way of staying on friendly terms and it means nothing. Why not just ask him?
So glad I seem to attract men that hate social media and I never have to think about these things. Good luck 🙏 Talk to him. That’s the only way you’ll know.
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). Maybe it’s just me, but that doesn’t sound like someone who is liking the pictures to just be nice...
Rule of thumb: don’t date someone who has just broken up. Chances are they’re not over their partner and you’re just a rebound. Good luck!
2. Talking about marriage doesn't mean you actually wanted to marry the person
3. This guy is moving on if he's dating others so why does this mean he's not over her? Sounds like he is to me if he's dating around.
Ive been in situations where I’ve used other men to mask my pain and have said no to someone I loved because I was hurt and I wanted him to prove that he wanted me in his life, not because I was truly moving on even though it’s what my mind wanted. Feelings are harder to sever and men take longer to feel those feelings. It’s been proven that women process emotions faster than men. It’s the reason why the longer a man takes to come back, the harder it is to win her back. And also why men come back after months of dating around. The fact this guy is still in contact with his ex, will only make it harder for him to move on.
I know this personally and also with men in my life who’ve done this. But if you want to live in a lie, go ahead.
This is exactly what the guy is doing. If he didn't still want his ex after he turned her away he wouldn't have blown up her phone AND said he was struggling. If she had done something egregious like cheating this would be a different story. His ego was probably just hurt and probably felt like they had a lot of issues aka not enough to be completely rid of someone that you wanted to marry. Love just doesn't work like that. So he probably wants his ex to prove that she still wants him like bittercupcake said. Not sure if I'm right on this part, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's liking her things to get her attention.
Bottom line is there's a difference between using someone as a distraction vs genuinely wanting to move on. Even if he never took her off social media, he still doesn't have to like her pictures. Genuinely moving means you give yourself time and space to heal, which he is not doing by liking her pictures. The difference between this ex and the other people is she the most recent one that he wanted to MARRY. By the way, discussing marriage with someone means that you want to marry them. You don't discuss that unless you want to marry the person...
Thing is if you've truly moved on or wanted to move on, there would be no reason to keep an ex around while you're healing. For two possible reasons: #1 to heal and move on or #2 to avoid giving the other person false hope that there could be a possible reconciliation.
This guy isn't done with his ex. That door is still open.click to expand

Posted by missmissyThen why are you so sure than you want exclusivity with this dude??Posted by justagirlFor the 5th time now, it's just because I don't want to set myself up. I turned out to be a rebound not that long ago and I don't want the same thing to happen. Do I like him? Yes, but it's more about looking out for myself and not repeating the past.Posted by missmissyYou are overly invested for barely knowing this guy and the small amount of time it's been.Posted by sugarplumeow
Did he tell you how or why they broke up? Nah they are just pictures and its only been a month for him.
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
He needs to run.click to expand

Posted by missmissyBy liking her every pic..Posted by sas0risaHow is he not trying to get over her? If he's going out on dates isn't that him trying to get over her?
forget him, it's too soon
he wanted to spend his life with her and she is stil in his head. He's not trying to get over her either..

Posted by PayMeek_NoMindSomewhere in the thread I mentioned how this is my friend’s so’s buddy. Her SO saw that this guy was liking his ex’s pictures and then spilled the beans about their breakup. When she got all the details she told me.
Why do you even know what he talked about with is ex though how does that topic even come up?
Posted by hazeofpixiedustThanks. I have a date lined up with someone new for this weekend.
OP - he's still wrapped up in his ex. plain and simple.
Get movin' with your life. You deserve better.
Posted by bittercupcakeI don’t know, if my ex said he loved me in past tense I would think he’s over me.You're trying to find a silver lining in all of this. They're playing passive aggressive games with each other because they still have feelings towards one another, and you're getting caught in the middle.
^^^
How is that wrapped up? If he turned down her reconciliation and told her not to ask questions about his dating life, doesn’t that sound like he’s moved on?
Take a step back and read what you wrote:
So apparently after he turned her away he was blowing up her phone saying stuff like the breakup really messed with him, how he wanted to stay but couldn’t. Then a little later the I’m having a hard time message followed.
He's having doubts about the breakup. No one goes on a rampage trying to clarify things to an ex. If they're done, they're done. No need for trying to explain themselves or trying to leave a door open.
And I imagine you'd ask how is he leaving the door open?
Anyway, she said she was hurt but loved him enough to be happy for him to be moving on. He replied with a question mark, and she said your video that you posted. He told her how he loved her very much but they just argued a lot. Then sent her another message saying it’s not wise to give out information about what may or may not be going on his dating life. She said she wasn’t asking but wished him all the best. He then liked her picture a few days later and I was told he was looking at her social media. This happened in November. He’s still liking her stuff now.
Doesn't sound like a person who's trying to move on with an ex lingering around.

Posted by PayMeek_NoMindI believe OP should date others as well but I don’t think she should let him completely go. If he used love in past tense (his last message to her when he posted his date online) that implies that he’s over her?
Regardless of who told you, its TMI for you to know or even want to know and to know it is enough to fall back not dive deeper. To each their own but you really shouldn't take a chance getting involve with someone during their rebound period if you are looking for exclusivity you are looking to build a bond and that bond can't be built on untrustworthy grounds unless you just a settler.

Posted by missmissylol are you serious? It's actually worse than I thought than just with the pics.. You might have blinders on because you like they guy ( or are you young?) and I guess you would have to go through this quite a few times to realize what all this means..... He is still toying with her. Playing games. Playing hard to get. He's even making effort to make her jealous. Why? Why does he even contact her? Then it dies down and he likes a pic of hers days later. He should be focusing on you. Whether he is trying to hurt her, or whatever the case may be.... WHY? is the question.. Why would he be on a date with you but still focused on her enough to post the pic— And yes - he was trying to make her jealous in doing that...In fact he might just be using you to make her jealous. She actually doesn't seem that interested. Your man is the one doing the damage here. Hun. he is still wrapped up in her. Sorry to say. You learn as you go that these are huge (literally, GIGANTIC) red flags and things won't work out in the end. You're being taken for a ride as a rebound. When he stops talking to her, about her, he is a free man and all yours. Until then, he still belongs to her in his mind... make sense? I really hope so.. In time you'll learn this stuff always rings true. Please don't learn all of this the hard way with this dude... Best to you, I know it sucks..Posted by hazeofpixiedustThanks.

I hate to resurrect a thread but I had to comment. He’s more than likely liking her pictures because he’s happy for her. Happy/relieved to see that she’s okay.
You really think that's it?

Posted by bizzybee84Notice how you said months later.. They are still going through the break up with previous girl involved while he is dating this new girl. It's going to be a while before he is emotionally available to date. Seriously? Also what *types* of pictures he is liking is *sort of* important. Is it just photos showing her only, like selfies?

OP - he's still wrapped up in his ex. plain and simple.
Get movin' with your life. You deserve better.
I guess I’m not seeing things clearly. I’m not sure if you saw this update or not:
So apparently after he turned her away he was blowing up her phone saying stuff like the breakup really messed with him, how he wanted to stay but couldn’t. Then a little later the I’m having a hard time message followed. Also, my friend is under the impression that he tried to make her jealous (I don’t agree). He snapped a video of his food and then showed the girl he was on a date then posted it on social media. This was a few weeks after telling her that he was struggling. Not quite sure showing off your date on social media means you're trying to make someone jealous though.
Anyway, she said she was hurt but loved him enough to be happy for him to be moving on. He replied with a question mark, and she said your video that you posted. He told her how he loved her very much but they just argued a lot. Then sent her another message saying it’s not wise to give out information about what may or may not be going on his dating life. She said she wasn’t asking but wished him all the best. He then liked her picture a few days later and I was told he was looking at her social media. This happened in November. He’s still liking her stuff now.
^^^
How is that wrapped up? If he turned down her reconciliation and told her not to ask questions about his dating life, doesn’t that sound like he’s moved on?
I hate to resurrect a thread but I had to comment. He’s more than likely liking her pictures because he’s happy for her. Happy/relieved to see that she’s okay.
You really think that's it?
My ex had some serious issues. She eventually cheated on me. I broke up with her but I still kept her on social media. Now, I didn’t like her posts for a good three or four months, but after that I started liking her pictures here and there. She would posts things with her sister who I had gotten close with, food, beer,etc.-I would mainly like things of that nature. I liked the pictures because I was happy that she seemed to be doing well.click to expand

Either way it's too soon. He should be dealing with his break-up alone without roping both girls into his obviously messy emotions.

OP - he's still wrapped up in his ex. plain and simple.
Get movin' with your life. You deserve better.
I guess I’m not seeing things clearly. I’m not sure if you saw this update or not:
So apparently after he turned her away he was blowing up her phone saying stuff like the breakup really messed with him, how he wanted to stay but couldn’t. Then a little later the I’m having a hard time message followed. Also, my friend is under the impression that he tried to make her jealous (I don’t agree). He snapped a video of his food and then showed the girl he was on a date then posted it on social media. This was a few weeks after telling her that he was struggling. Not quite sure showing off your date on social media means you're trying to make someone jealous though.
Anyway, she said she was hurt but loved him enough to be happy for him to be moving on. He replied with a question mark, and she said your video that you posted. He told her how he loved her very much but they just argued a lot. Then sent her another message saying it’s not wise to give out information about what may or may not be going on his dating life. She said she wasn’t asking but wished him all the best. He then liked her picture a few days later and I was told he was looking at her social media. This happened in November. He’s still liking her stuff now.
^^^
How is that wrapped up? If he turned down her reconciliation and told her not to ask questions about his dating life, doesn’t that sound like he’s moved on?
I hate to resurrect a thread but I had to comment. He’s more than likely liking her pictures because he’s happy for her. Happy/relieved to see that she’s okay.
You really think that's it?
My ex had some serious issues. She eventually cheated on me. I broke up with her but I still kept her on social media. Now, I didn’t like her posts for a good three or four months, but after that I started liking her pictures here and there. She would posts things with her sister who I had gotten close with, food, beer,etc.-I would mainly like things of that nature. I liked the pictures because I was happy that she seemed to be doing well.
Either way it's too soon. He should be dealing with his break-up alone without roping both girls into his obviously messy emotions. Dude needs a break from any females and you need a break from him until he gets his head on straight. butttt you seem hell bent on entering the mess so I guess learn the hard way...
So you really don’t think his likes mean he’s just trying to be cordial? Showing, ‘hey no hard feelings’?

Posted by missmissyAgain, wrong. She sent a card addressed to he and his family. Only saying thank you is the appropriate response. Plus, she was doing something genuinely nice during a difficult time so I would only say thank you as well because it’s not like my ex was asking for me back or saying they missed me.

His father was just diagnosed with terminal cancer recently. I guess his ex got wind of the news. I was at his house and he was getting his mail. He opened it and he looked a little funny so I asked him what was up. He said his ex heard the news and was saying she was sorry to hear the news and was keeping his family in her prayers.
We go inside and sit down on the couch. I see him text her thanks for the letter. I think if he was still interested he would've said more than that to her.

I met this guy about a month ago. We seem to be hitting it off. The issue is he likes about every other picture his ex has posted. They broke up in early October.
I’m trying to tell myself it’s just him liking the content. He’ll like his other ex’s pictures too, but she’s from years ago. He’ll even like pictures of old flings that didn’t work out, so maybe he’s just weird?
Either way should I be worried?

This is exactly what the guy is doing. If he didn't still want his ex after he turned her away he wouldn't have blown up her phone AND said he was struggling. If she had done something egregious like cheating this would be a different story. His ego was probably just hurt and probably felt like they had a lot of issues aka not enough to be completely rid of someone that you wanted to marry. Love just doesn't work like that. So he probably wants his ex to prove that she still wants him like bittercupcake said. Not sure if I'm right on this part, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's liking her things to get her attention.
Bottom line is there's a difference between using someone as a distraction vs genuinely wanting to move on. Even if he never took her off social media, he still doesn't have to like her pictures. Genuinely moving means you give yourself time and space to heal, which he is not doing by liking her pictures. The difference between this ex and the other people is she the most recent one that he wanted to MARRY. By the way, discussing marriage with someone means that you want to marry them. You don't discuss that unless you want to marry the person...
