Girls, is breadcrumbing a good thing from my ex girlfriend?

[Anonymous]

Hi, so it's been 4 months since my ex girlfriend broke up with me. I'm 29M she's 35.
And I've noticed certain behavior that has me thinking about her a lot lately.
Some of this things I've noticed and other have been brought to my attention by close friends, like:

She restricted me on Facebook 2 months after breaking up.
Posted sad and breakup related stuff when she was the one who did it.
Posts "indirect" stuff about things we said and had plan to do. (Like having kids, etc)

This one is huge!
On nov 16, she changed her profile picture on whatsapp. I didn't pay importance to that.
Later that evening a friend of mine shared me screencaps of her instagram stories.
She was at the same movie theater we went on our first date as a couple.
She was even wearing the same outfit as she did on that date.
And she did it all on the 16th. The same date we became a couple months earlier.
The very next morning, she changed her whatsapp picture to the usual one.
And last Sunday she shared a "sad" story about losing someone and how good she had it with that guy. Interesting, right?

I know I should not overthink stuff like this and that it doesn't matter, but it's interesting.
My friends have been telling me to break No Contact and talk to her. But, I don't know.
After breaking up, I didn't even replied to her last text, I just went NC.
I was sad, angry and pissed at her. But, never told her anything nor posted anything about it on social media like she did.
I never begged, never pleaded, no nothing. Just walked away.
I got a new job, met new people, all that. But I never stopped thinking about her.
What should I do? Is this a good thing? I mean, she's breadcrumbing, right?

Anyway, I hope you girls can help me out with this one.
Thanks for your time and for reading.
Happy holidays! Stay safe, peace!

PD: The Nov. 16th stuff, she went alone to the movie theater. Apparently she isn't dating anybody. But I do not know that for sure.
I am seeing somebody but it's more sexual than serious, so...

This is a tough spot! To be honest, I think she’s having her moments of sadness. I mean when you really loved/cared about a person, you don’t just break up and snap your feelings off. It takes months to truly heal, sometimes longer, but that’s part of it. The thing here is: just because she’s having her moments, doesn’t necessarily mean she is regretful or interested in trying things again with you. She’s the one who ended things, and has maintained her “no contact” rule, even when she’s outwardly hurting and reminiscing. She knows that you are one unblock and phone call away, so why is she not reaching out, right? Well, often times the things that broke you up will only come back once you rekindled. Sometimes not in the same form, but those things are part of you, and they always rear their ugly heads again. I’ve had to learn that the hard way several times in my life before realizing that sometimes getting back with someone just bc you missed them isn’t always the best choice. Hence why people go through that revolving door of breaking up/getting back. More often than not, once you’re done, it’s best to accept that, heal, and move on. But this knowledge came with age, and growth. At 35, I think she has an understanding of this painful truth and it’s what is keeping her away. She realizes that even tho it hurts, it’s better to be apart. All of this to say, leave that situation alone. Kindly ask your friends to stop trying to puzzle-piece things together and interfering in an already hurtful situation, but you are still grateful for their love and support. Close that chapter, for real this time, and let it go. If she decides down to road to make a move — she will. She knows she can. But she isn’t, so you shouldn’t.

I just saw this. Thanks for your deep reply. I didn't see it that way. Now I have a lot to think about.
I was thinking of reaching out, but, you have some strong points.
Anyway, sorry for my late reply. Thanks and happy holidays!
