Is it normal for an ex to leave up facebook pictures when...?

A mutual friend informed me that my ex girlfriend is in a relationship with someone beginning November 11. Long story but in a nutshell, she broke up with me on March 31, 2013 with the intention of remaining friends. In August I called her and told her I was moving on because she was treating me like crap and I wanted more than friends. I unfriended her, untagged myself from her photos, and removed my pics of us. I checked her profile the other day for the first time and she still has all our pictures up and the captions too that say stuff like "me and my amazing boyfriend <3" and "look what my awesome boyfriend bought me!!!" I get that people leave some pics up but many of the pics are pics you'd only leave up if you were in a relationship because they are of us very close together (one is of us laying in her bed!). Why would she leave them up when she's in a relationship and we parted ways (we don't communicate anymore)? Does this mean anything?

    So she left them up when you broke up (nearly a year ago), they were still up a few weeks ago when you posted the same question. She's now with someone else and they are still up.... I'd say she's probably just decided to leave them up.
    She doesn't care enough to take them down. I know it's brutal, but you need to move on bud. Quit holding out hope for this one. Looking at the old pics is not going to help.

    It means nothing. I've never deleted a pic from the internet.

    I think you are over-thinking.

    This question got plenty of good answers last time you posted it.

    She does have an album dedicated to me. I would think her boyfriend would have an issue with these pictures. Yeah I know I need to move on. I've been looking but haven't found anyone yet. If I could find someone, I wouldn't be thinking about her.

      Maybe she is faking being in a relationship with someone else and leaving your old couples pictures up to mess with your mind. Some girls are weird like that.

      Andshe's had a handful of boyfriends before me. She has no pictures of them and I'm positive about that.

    Ask her politely if she would take them down. Pretty simple.

    dude u haven't moved on, right? your head is busy with thoughts you really are not supposed to have at all by this time. I wonder what is wrong.

    you don't need to look for someone to forget about her. just do something good for yourself, throw away pics of you and her, get rid of all the things that remind you of her, delete her phone number and so on.

    keep no contact because I am pretty sure she is not coming back to you.

      I do believe part of moving on is finding someone else. Having other options really does help because it puts less emphasis on her. Unfortunately, I don't have many options at this point. I'm working on it. I've been dealing with some personal that have plagued me most of my life and it makes it hard for me to find other girls. Look I feel I'm a really great guy who deserves a great girl but it's tough at this point in time... I haven't been thinking about her but ever since this Christmas, which was a special day for us the year before, she started popping back in my head. This breakup was a tough one for me and I've really worked hard at building myself up and making myself happy and I am happy. However, the more I think about her, the more distress I feel.

        Derpinism is right. Say you really did want her back (not gonna happen, forget it) but say you did; the way to do that would be to forget about her, go out, be awesome, maybe get another girlfriend. (It's a little bit fucked, but there it is)
        I'm not saying that should be your 'plan' to get her back, that would be beyond fucked. I'm just making the point that pining and thinking about her is not ever gonna help anyone ever. Its ok for a while, but now its time for you to focus on yourself, the present and the future.

          That's exactly what I've been doing, for myself though. I'm a changed man from the breakup. I've improved in so many areas of my life. It's quite remarkable. Yeah I've done all the research. I wanted her back at one point but gave up on it. Hence why I'm not in contact with her. Like I said, I've been doing well but coming home from school has caused a setback so it seems.

        It's hard for you guys to get a good understanding of my situation since I don't feel comfortable sharing personal stuff on here. Yes I know she's not coming back. I know I shouldn't feel nostalgic after how she treated me. I guess I can trace it back to when I came home from school as I had more time to drown in my thoughts is when she started popping in my head

    She probably thinks she looks too good in the pictures to delete them. Some chics are vain like that.
