Hi all, this might be a long chaotic and rambley post so apologies in advance.
I know this is an ex and i should move on but this is all feeling raw and triggering, any advice or insights would be helpful.
If anyone read my last post they will know I blocked my FA ex on May 21st, I'm still not completely over him but I've started to feel better and took steps to focus on myself....all until 2 days ago..
I'll try to summarise the situation, but the timeline of events went like this
1. We broke up 7 months ago in October last year. Had a few ugly arguments that resulted in him blocking me on IG in March but not on Facebook.
2. I blocked his Facebook in May because I felt like I had enough and I wanted to heal, I'm not completely over it and before I blocked him I noticed a new girl coming into his circle. I'll call her (A), she seemed to be a new fangirl of his and was always liking all his posts almost immediately.
3. He probably noticed I blocked him on Facebook...because he ended up UNblocking me on IG. I found out 2 days ago as his profile got suggested to me out of the blue (he may have unblocked me much earlier but I don't know). I didn't expect this, I couldn't help but snoop a little and he only followed 20 accounts on his IG, all were people knew of, He didn't follow (A) at this point.
I blocked his IG account because I knew I'd just keep snooping and it wasn't good for me.
4. Yesterday, I posted a dance video on tiktok, and he immediately liked it. I had forgotten we were friends on tiktok as neither of us have messaged there and he rarely goes online. I posted because as part of healing I started taking dance classes and thought doing dance challenges on tiktok would be fun and help build my confidence a little. I unfollowed him after that.
5. This morning I decided I should probably delete some dormant social media accounts that I have him on, I just didn't want to be triggered again by seeing him popping up
Or giving myself an excuse to snoop.
I went to delete a dormant IG account that followed him back in the day, but I hadn't logged in for a very long time.
When I logged in, he had posted a bunch of new things in the span of the last two days and they were all showing up on my feed. The contents were all cryptic as if to say he's moved on. I tried to hide all the posts to not get triggered but I accidentally pressed on his profile and the number of accounts he followed went up by 1, he started following (A) back.
I don't know what it was but I immediately spiralled. I felt so triggered cause I knew they started getting close about a month ago on social media, I watched it all play out and that's what made me block him in thr first place.
I'm not completely over him yet, and I'm just fighting with myself over all this blocking. I have an intense fear that by blocking him it will just push him to potentially start dating (A) and the thought makes me sick to my stomache.
I'm just so confused. It's like he was already flirting with her but then hes trying to get back at me after finding out I blocked him? What does he want out of this? He didn't try to reach out, he didn't try to communicate or even give me any closure that I wanted. Its apparently ok for him to flaunt how many girls are around him in my face and the moment I decided I wanted to heal he just doubles down on it.
Trying to understand this is really driving me insane, I almost want to confront him but I haven't messaged him anything yet.
