Why would a guy act like it’s weird his ex moved on from him? They broke up 1-2 months ago?

Perhaps he didn't think she would, or that he expected her to go crawling back to him!

He’s the one texting me

Who broke up with who?

[Asker]

I broke up with him

Sorry if this is too personal, but If I can get a bit of background to this, I'll probably understand his reaction better.
During your time together, did he take you for granted or was he so into you that you felt overwhelmed?

He only wanted sex so I don’t think he cares too much

[Asker]

I think he was seeing other females

I’m going to write the background it’s kinda long

Ok.. Thanks..

I met him in college. At my job, he was rude and childish. He would sometimes just laugh at me for no apparent reason. Months later, my coworker asked why he acted that way towards me. She said it was because he had admitted to liking me.

Several months after that, I told him I liked him too. He said he had liked me for a while and used to come to my job just to see me, but he was too shy to actually speak to me.

When we started talking, he lied about a lot of things - where he lived, what kind of cars he had, and other personal details. He was very secretive and the conversation mostly revolved around sex. He would always claim he was too busy to spend time with me.

I wanted to break up with him, but he would try to convince me not to do that.

To be honest it’s really my fault for being naive

Listen a sec. we ALL have to make mistakes in life, otherwise how else do we grow? Maybe you were a little naive, but the experience you gained will certainly help you in future. As for his (the original question) I think he played on your nativity, and now you've gained more experience, you've thrown him a curveball that he simply wasn't ready for. Hence his reason for texting you.

I think it says a lot about what he thought about you. For him to be surprised or weirded out that you’re moving on says to me — he didn’t value you, so he thought no one else would.
