Girl's Behavior

What is she trying to accomplish?

A few months ago my girlfriend told we needed to take some space apart. I agreed and we kept texting and hanging out a little bit until I left to go to substance treatment a few weeks later to get my act together.

Unknown to me, she starts dating a new guy pretty much as soon as I left for treatment. We still texted a little bit and met up twice. She asked if I was ok with us hanging out even if we weren’t officially “together” and I said yes. The second time I asked her where she thought things stood, and she got cagey and distant and said I need to do what’s best for myself.

Over the next 2 months, she texts me twice to congratulate me on a new job and on my birthday. She also posts on her Instagram about her summer she had spent partying and dating this new guy. I told her thanks but we needed to stop talking because things ended on a vague note and we were together a long time so I wasn’t sure I could be friends going forward. She was upset because she was “under a different impression, but said she “understood”.

Soon, her social media activity spiked. She started posting on Snapchat a lot more when she noticed I posted on there. Every time I posted, she would watch it and post shortly after. Her best friend posted a “text” between her and her new guy where she she said “Can’t wait to see you tonight 😉”. After I removed her on Instagram, her best friend and sister started posting quotes about “moving on” and “not settling” and “wanting adventure”. Is she trying to get my back or just lashing out at me?
