Girls, Why Does Ex Girlfriend send me Instagram Food reels every couple of days but nothing else?

[Anonymous]

So my ex girlfriend sends me food Instagram reels every couple of days, specifically smores related ones because she knows I love smores, anyway she'll send it to me, I'll react send a short message about it and then that'll be it until I send a food reel to her, and she'll react and send a short message and that's the cycle and it doesn't lead anywhere.

Now she has a boyfriend who she's been with for about 6-7 months, I don't reach out to her to talk to her about anything and she doesn't reach out to me to actually talk about anything just these reels she'll send every few days, she knows i still have feelings for her (working on getting rid of those) so I know she doesn't believe this is some friend thing she's doing, and like I said I never reach out to her first about anything, I'm just confused on why she does this, I don't understand what she's getting out of this low effort back and forth with me, I'm sure she has plenty of other people she can send reels too

Any insight would be helpful

Also as of right now, I'm just going to ignore her most recent smores reel she sent me, I haven't opened it so it won't say seen, I'm just curious on what will happen next if anything.

If you are so aggravated by those messages on social media, why don't you not just block her? I am not familiar with I*******m or any other social site but there should be a provision to block someone that is stalking, aggravating or otherwise bothering you.

If there is such a provision and you don't do anything about it, then you are the only one to blame because indirectly, you motivate her to continue sending those unwanted messages.

If there are not provisions to block unwanted content, you can always ask administrators of I*******m to act upon her and if nothing helps, then you need to talk to her on a old fashioned face-to-face basis and if this does not help, then talk to her current boyfriend directly and tell him she is stalking you. Good luck.

Who knows maybe she's checking if you blocked her. But I don't think she's being completely platonic about it.

because she was showing "i am over it, you are yesterday".

She must be really bored.

I would assume so, because it seems pointless honestly, especially if she's as happy as she says she is with her new dude, i don't even know why she'd bother to even stay in contact with me about anything, cause if I had a new girlfriend, I'd never talk to my ex, out of respect for my current girlfriend.

No idea, ask her why
