Why is my ex boyfriend going out of his way to get my attention when he is the one who ghosted me?

He was the guy I loved most in my life and I fell hard. I thought we had something but he broke my heart bad. It took over a year to even come to terms with the fact that what I thought we had wasn’t real. Then it took almost another year to forgive him for doing me dirty. It’s been almost a full three years and he sent me a friends request on Facebook which I ignored. He liked my pictures and my posts and I didn’t respond. He texted me a while ago and no response. He posted a video on his Facebook story of him listening to a song named after me. Then after he sent me the last message he posted on his page that he didn’t understand why people would ignore him Bc he would just keep trying. Why is he doing this? He already showed me the fucked up truth of how little I meant to him and now he is being like this. Why won’t he just apologize if that’s what he wants to do rather than playing these stupid games

Clearly he has not matured yet where he can own up to his wrong doings and past behavioural issues that may have lead the break up in the first place. Id say he is just trying to get your attention, if he really respected you he would of apologized or have sat down with you and discussed the "elephant in the room" or at least acknowledged it. He may have nothing else to do or no other woman in his line of sight that wants him at the moment and realizes that you are still around. If he knows what you want to hear and is not doing so, it may be a sign that he has no intention of growing as an individual around you and is messaging you for the sake of messaging not that he is willing to change, unless specified.

I'd give him no recognition because clearly that's what he is looking for

So I asked him if he had something that he needed to say and he said yes and that it was good to hear from me. But I couldn’t continue to respond because I felt literally sick to my stomach the second I said anything to him. I guess that’s the biggest sign that I’m over him and cannot feel even slightly comfortable having a conversation with him. Even though he said something nice such as “it’s nice to hear from you” I started to experience terrible sickness like I would vomit if I continued the conversation. My sister said just block him so Closure be damned I guess it’s for the best. If I can’t even stomach a single sentence that a problem. I don't know why I had such a wild reaction to just talking to him
