Question - (4 December 2011) 7 Answers - (Newest, 5 December 2011)
A female United Kingdom, anonymous writes:

I split up with my LDR boyfriend because he wouldn't commit to me and he was messing me around. I told him he had to let me move on if he wasnt prepared to commit, but we could remain friends. He was horrible back to me so I deleted his number and deleted him off my facebook. That was 2 days ago. Anyway, tonight I was just on facebook and I looked at his page and noticed that he had changed his profile picture to one of him cuddling his ex-girlfriend, even though it was taken 2 years ago and she is in a new relationship!!!! I had a feeling that he was still in love with her when he was with me. But why is he doing this? Why has he changed his pic to one of him and her when shes in another relationship? I dont know if its to get to me or if its because he still wants her? Either way Im gutted and dont know what to do. Feel like sending him a message and saying something but maybe I should just ignore? Im just so hurt.

So_Very_Confused agony auntwhy are you looking at your ex's facebook page?

For the same reason he's posting pictures of him and his ex

to play games.

stop looking at his page

and stop caring about him trying to piss you off... cause it's working and that makes it a game that he wins...

NO GAME PLAYING!

hannah76 agony auntHe is probably playing games with you to upset you. So, best thing to do is Block him on Facebook so he cant see you. Then carry on with your life and dont check him anymore. It's only upsetting to keep checking and looking and wondering and getting images in your head of him with another girl.

I agree with the other two aunts. He has probably done it to piss you off...don't let it work...

Remember when you're feeling down, he couldn't offer you what you wanted, stay strong.

I would do what person 12345 said and write out your message to him, vent your head off, but don't send it, don't give him the satisfaction!!

Remember, you are worth worth more than his 'half hearted attempt at a relationship' and it 'his loss'

Cry and feel upset for as long as you need, then remind yourself you are worth more, and you deserve BETTER.

Block his profile so he does not see what is going on and you need to NOT look. Absolutely he is immature and a jerk to go out of his way to hurt you. How is that attractive? Right?

Keep busy with going on window shopping, visiting friends and family, treat yourself to a movie and popcorn, pedicure. Take time to focus on you and helping family this time of year.

When we help others we feel better and we help others feel better.

In, time, you will forget about the Ex and make room in your heart for someone who is appreciative and treats you with love and respect.

*hugs*

Honeypie agony auntMy advice STOP looking as his Facebook page and be glad you followed your gut and ended it.

He is using that old picture to hurt you, because he knows you will be looking. So stop playing his game.

he's just trying to play games and make you jealous. Just ignore it and do not send him any messages asking why he has done that as he will know it has got to you. Just ignore and let him get on with it. It's his loss afterall. Just forget about him and move on.

person12345 agony auntBecause he's trying to hurt you. Don't give him the satisfaction of a response. If it makes you feel better, write out a long angry letter, give it a good read-through and press delete. He's not trying to do anything with her, he's trying to be a jerk to you. If you send him any kind of response, it will validate his childish behavior. Don't give him the satisfaction. Go hang out with friends, take up a hobby, distract yourself.
