Why did they put their pictures on facebook?

Tagged as: Breaking up, The ex-factor<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (21 February 2008) 3 Answers - (Newest, 1 March 2008)
A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I was with my ex a year. In the first 3 months, his ex (of 4 years) kept hassling him, trying to break us up. She was desperate to keep contact, to remain friends, but they had only left it 3 months between breaking up and us getting together, which looking back, wasn't long enough for either of them to move on. Plus they had slept together once in that 3 month period.

So, as you can probably guess, she was the one thing we argued about, because she was always there. I would find photos of the 2 of them on Facebook on a night we had argued and he had stormed out (as he always did), of them 2 drinking at a party. I would find text messages from her on his phone, showing that he had clearly been discussing our relationship with her. She text him on Christmas day saying she really missed him.

So in the end we broke up. And straight away, there are photos of him and her on Facebook. Nothing incriminating or intimate, just doing everyday stuff together.

Why?

I can't help but look at the pictures. I know she only put them there to get to me, and although I will NEVER let anyone know they hurt me, they do. All throughout the relationship I had a hunch there was still something there and he's proved me right. The only thing that does make me feel better is she took every picture herself (as in holding the camera away from her and posing) and he hasn't posed for a single one, it's almost as if he looks embarassed or uncomfortable.

rockelle agony auntIf it is her facebook page more than likely she is putting the pictures there to make you jealous, and/or let you know that he is back in her life. If I were you I wouldn't look at the pictures that is exactly what she wants. If you and him are no longer together let it go and move on. I know your feelings are probably hurt but give it some time and you will forget all about him, you are much better off it sounds like he is exactly where he wants to be.

You know, I think he's wanting to make you jealous, and come running back to him. He doesn't sound like he's keen on saying sorry and coming back to you, so he wants to turn the tables, and make you paranoid and come back to him. Either this, or he loves people to think he's always got a girl on the go. If he's trying to make you jealous, don't be, he's obviously trying to wind you up honey and it's not nice of him. And if he's a little bit of a player.. then he's not going to do you much good. Putting pictures of him and his ex on facebook is a spiteful and careless thing of him to do. If he respected you, he wouldn't do it. To be honest, I think you've done the right thing by breaking up with him, he's obviously not willing to take responsibility for his actions, and doesn't care about your feelings and emmotions as much as he should. So try not to take this all too much to heart honey, he's being immature. I really hope everything works out ok for you :]
