Is my ex making me jealous through facebook?

Question - (14 December 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 14 December 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hey guys.

I wondered if you could help me out.

Basically my ex boyfriend dumped me about a week ago because 'he didn't want the commitment of a girlfriend anymore', and I agreed with it, and deleted him off Facebook and told him I would do just to make it easier.

I checked his facebook profile tonight, and it's gone from being completely private, to me being able to see EVERYTHING.

Photos, Wall, everything.

But this girl has been talking to him saying things like 'I'll see you tomorrow' and 'awww your so sweet!'

and it's just making me think what the hell?!

I mean, we haven't had any correspondence since the break up, and I'm now on my 4th day of NC, but I don't see why he would change his profile settings so that I could see he was talking to this girl?

My friends say it's because he wants to try and make me jealous and make me think he's moved on already, and he thinks that when I see him and another girl flirting it'll make me go crazy.

What do you guys think?

(let me just say, in no way shape or form do I want to get back with the guy, I just want to understand his psychology)

Hiya, I have to say that facebook have changed thier privacy policy since Sunday and you have to click on this new privacy thing or your profile is open for all to view. But if this happened before this change then he may have wanted you to react more when you split up and because you didnt he may be trying to get you jealous, male ego wanting to have girls fighting over him. But it does depend really on how long he has kept his profile open to which of the above reasons it could be.

If he still wanted to be with you then he has a very strange way of going about it, so i would certainly think if not because of the privacy reason he wans his ego boosting!!
