Why would a recent ex take their new date to places you suggested you two go?

[Anonymous]

These are places that aren’t local to them, but local to me. As we were long distance.

I can only assume they don’t have many original ideas themselves. I must’ve been the cool one 😎😄

[Guy13]

Because they thought you had great ideas. There must have been something going on when you were dating where they didn't want to take you. If you are doing this out of good-hardheartedness then you are a special Ex girlfriend. YOu must still be crushing on an Ex...

[Asker]

I was clearly the cool one 😎😁

[Asker]

Why post about it and rub it in my face though (knowing I’d see it)?

[Jamie05rhs]

Because you cut them off before they had a chance to take YOU there. Lol. So they are just following through with your awesome plans, but with your replacement. Haha.

[Asker]

Harsh. I wanted to work it out, they ended it.

[Jamie05rhs]

Oh, damn. Sorry! 😐

Well, then, he's the asshole!

[Asker]

It’s okay lol. Yep, seems that way. Why do it though, no ideas of his own?

[Jamie05rhs]

Well, that part of my answer is still valid lol. He liked the plan, so he decided to carry through with the plan.

[Asker]

But to rub it in someone’s face knowing they’ll see it?

[Jamie05rhs]

I don't think he was trying to rub it in your face. (At least I hope not!)

[Asker]

Me too. At first I just thought it was coincidence but now I feel like he’s only posting pictures of them doing things I like (that he doesn’t necessarily like - he never posts pictures of his own hobbies).

[Jamie05rhs]

Oh, wow. Well, if that's the case, then he is an extremely petty individual.

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Maybe they liked the ideas. Why as an ex do you care?

[Asker]

If you understood human feelings/nature you wouldn’t need to ask.

[Alex8736]

ignorance and immature

[Asker]

Ignorance of how it might make the ex feel? They’re in their 40s.

[Alex8736]

that's where the immature falls into place

[Asker]

So it’s not some sort of reminiscing the ex…just lack of thought…

[Alex8736]

or trying to rub things in the ex's face

[Asker]

That’s what I questioned too, but why do that… What’s the motivation behind that action…
