My ex (28 yr Male) and I broke up around 5 months ago after dating for 2 years, his idea. I will admit we were pretty toxic together and he said it was for our own good because we just kept arguing and we hardly saw each-other because he worked 80hrs a week and I worked full time which made things harder. I made the mistake of answering him when he texted me a month after our breakup to say he missed me yet saw me as a “friend” to which I responded I couldn’t be his friend, it was too hard. I got a new job, went through the motions and have been working on myself, trying to get over my anxious attachment. Now he started viewing my stories (we aren’t friends on social media) and he isn’t social media savvy so I doubt he knows I can see his looking lol, I blocked him for my own mental health and he went out of his way to use an old account to view them. He watched my stories EVERY SINGLE DAY LIKE CLOCKWORK but says nothing. His ego has always been his downfall and he does not know how to admit his feelings, product of being raised in a masculine no feelings type of household. But I can’t help thinking “he wouldn’t go to this extent if he didn’t care” or “maybe he’s waiting for me to notice and say something” but also “if he cared he’d say something instead of quietly lurking”… we’ve always had this constant need to be together, never stay away from each other for too long, like magnets. Any advice? 😅 I haven't spoken to him in 2 months, definitely am okay alone now, but do still care to some extent. Thank you!
What is he trying to accomplish?

Realistically we’re both just as busy if not busier so I know things still wouldn’t work which kinda makes me not want to reach out because I know we’re still not in an ideal place and have healing to do 😓
