Normal to break up with a girl and still have your couple photo up

5 Comments

On Instagram and still use Instagram? Not posting anything in a year since the break up but still have the photo of you and your ex as the profile photo and still liking her best friend's photos? There's this guy I like and we used to be really close friends and almost started dating. He even said he was in love with me but then we went to university in different states and aren't close anymore.

I heard he broke up with his ex a year ago. Actually he broke up 3 times with her but this time apparently for real real. I heard this from his cousin I'm friend's with and one of his friends. They told me I should reach out to him because they know how close we were and how much I love him but he still has their photo up on Instagram of him and her a couple photo..and he's still liking her best friend's photos (she's gay dw I'm not saying he's into her just saying isn't it weird if he broke up)?

Does this mean they got back together again even though his cousin is telling me he isn't with her anymore and she's reliable.

What do you think? I can't reach out if he's still with her..

    Not deleting photos with your ex is normal I think, as everyone doesn't bother to go back and do so. But having your profile picture to be one with you and your ex seems rather odd. Even if he never posts he clearly uses Instagram, liking photos, so it would make sense to change the profile picture then.
    I wouldn't get involved, personally. I dated a guy once who had an on and off ex-girlfriend and they're to this day still on and off with each other... and it's been like 10 years since they met. None of them are capable of being faithful to anyone new they meet. It's not a nice situation to get caught in the middle of..
    I'd take not changing that pic as well as them having broken up multiple times as a major red flag. Even if they're broken up they could still be... "close". And that means drama will ensue.

      Agreed, I was ready to comment that the account was abandoned until I read about him routinely liking her best friend’s pictures. You don’t keep your ex in your profile picture if you’re not expecting a reunion.

      The fact that you’re in deep enough to stalk his ex girlfriend’s best friend to see which pictures he’s liked speaks of an obsession with this guy, or really with the idea of him as you haven’t spoken in years. Is this all because he said he loved you and then disappeared? Because the writing on the wall is that even if that was true at the time he’s moved on and it’s time for you to do the same.

        Yeahh that is a little obsessive. Its probably better to let it go at that point there is already a lack of trust and online stalking going on.

    I wouldn't read too much into him liking her friend's photos. If you have been in a long term relationship with someone you often become friends with their friends, and it's quite common to stay in touch after the break up.

    The profile photo part is a bit different. He probably isn't over her. That shouldn't stop you from getting in touch. It could still happen for you two.

    He probably just never changed the photo. Can you look at his exes page(Assuming she has one)? I'd say just send him a simple, friendly message.
