I'm going to answer this question initially in two different "voices". The first will be how you want me to answer it. Basically I'm going to do this in the voice of one of your girlfriends you took this question to. Follow me:
Panama the girls BFF!: Because he's insensitive and inconsiderate of how you feel. Basically, girl, he just wants to make you jealous because you're the best thing that ever happened to him. And he knows it. She's not even close to being as hot as you. He's just acting out hoping you'll see those pictures and call him so that he can beg to have you back. But you don't need him. He's an arsehole. You're so much better than him and you'd NEVER post pictures of your new boyfriend on Facebook. EVER! Because you're way classier than he is. What a douche! Forget him girl. He's just trying to make you stoop to his level. He isn't on your level.
You see what I did there? A solid 90 percent of that made no sense. So here's the other voice, ie. the real reason he's posting pictures on Facebook of himself with his new girlfriend:
Panama the Girls' BFF: Basically, because she's his girlfriend now, so she matters, and we use Facebook to validate our place in people's lives. They're together so there's no reason not to, especially if he posts pictures on his page anyway. So he does. Because they're together and that's what people are together do. Unless they're Jay-Z and Beyonce. And you are not Beyonce, therefore he isn't Jay-Z, therefore he posts pictures. End of story. Thanks for playing.
Oh, and to reiterate, because she matters to him.
Buh-bye!
i laughed. and then i winced. ouch. so true though. bravo PJ.
He moved on.
And so should you.
ROFL! This has to be the funniest answer I've seen! (LOL sorry Funny Guy - but you're still funny)
I get the impression she wanted to hear the first response. Which begs the question...why is she still looking at his pages if he is her ex? I'm guessing she was hoping to see him unhappy and regretful of the breakup but instead found him happy and moving on and couldn't get why?
OP, stop looking at his pages, if he was doing the same to you, it'd be stalking. Be glad he isn't causing drama, plenty of guys do, he's accepted what's happened and gotten on with his life. Get on with yours. Find a new man, if you want. When you get a new BF, would you not put pics of you with him on your facebook page, hmm?
What if he doesn't post pictures on his page regularly?
So he posts pictures irregularly. How is this one different? One picture does not regular make.
He's still with the new girlfriend, and not the asker. Asker should get a grip of reality, or even better, stop looking at the guy's page and photos.
It shouldn't matter. The LW should stop looking at his page and move on with her life. The way I look at it, it's awfully hard to move forward when you're looking back - it tends to make for a very bumpy and painful journey.
there is no "what if" to this scenario that PJ hasn't already covered. file him with the ex files and move on. period.
Obviously this is a problem for you, sounds like you're not over him yet. It happens, eventually you'll get there. Until then, my suggestion would be to unfriend the ex if you can't handle seeing him with someone new.
Good luck & stop peeking at his page! ;-)
I agree with K. You seem to be hurt that he is moving on. It can be tough, but you need to switch your focus from what he is doing to what you will be doing to move forward. Just like anything worth having, freedom from feeling like this takes work. Try forcing yourself to not look at his page, maybe set some goals. Like maybe remove him from your live feed so you don't know his up to the minute activities. I don't have facebook but I'm sure there is more you can do to keep his name and pics out of your view. If necessary unfriend him. Keep busy with other things and you will start to think about him less and less.
You can do it!
Its easy for people to judge harshly, but the right way is to be compassionate. Heartbreak happens to everyone in life. Its not the girls fault that she loves him still. you all have forgotten the pains of love. the world has fast grown cold.
Girl, time heals, but you will need to accept this is what is going on for the present moment-not forever. you have to understand that things may be very peachy w/ him now-as they always are initially, but love, nothing is constant. Who goes up must come down-hence the saying "what a goes up must come down". One day, mark my words, he will remember you. Silence is key. do not react, do not seek, do not beg. just accept.
Karma is always working and is very exacting. If he hurt you on his way out, he will be reminded, that he himself, is not exempt from the barb of love.
You will love again, but its important not to try to pay him back when his time comes around otherwise you'll be hurting yourself spiritually. I wish you Good luck and love lady.
We don't know who broke up with who here, so wishing bad on the man means you're the one being judgmental. For all we know, she's the one who broke up and hurt him. Regardless who left who, both of them have the rights to find new loves.
