Why would a man compete with his ex on social media, trying to rub his new relationship in her face?

[Anonymous]

Whatever she posts about he has to post him and his new partner doing it (he only ever posts that)… I can provide more context in the comments if needed.

Because he is immature and acting like a child because he is upset that things didn’t work out with his ex , so to make himself feel better about himself he is doing everything in his power to try to make her jealous , He is immature and it sounds like she was smart to leave his ass , probably the reason they broke up in the first place because he was immature and a selfish person.

You’re not wrong!

[Finchie40]

Best thing to do is just block him and delete him

Sounds like he's not really moved on, maybe feels he has a score to settle. Insecure probably. Sounds like someone to avoid in general terms.

[Asker]

Yeah I’d agree. I don’t know why he’s feel that way, I wanted to make it work but he wasn’t showing me that effort.

[Prezzi3]

That means he has not moved on. People he break up and want to move on don’t keep tabs on their exes or compete with that. You just wish that person well and move forward.

[Asker]

Personally I agree

[Nikki1989]

He hasn't moved on and is probably very immature.

[Sabretooth]

Someone petty and immature, I suppose. I don't get involved in that. Besides, it's counterproductive.

[Asker]

Smart

[Sabretooth]

Waste of time. Plus, I'd be holding the gun the wrong way.

[WhyohWhy69]

I feel sorry for the person your ex is with. Just a user. You’re better off without him.

[Anonymous]

What makes you think he's posting this for you? Maybe he's just happy doing things with the new girl and is posting it.

[Asker]

It’s too obvious. People can lie to themselves but that doesn’t mean it’ll work on others.

[Opinion Owner]

Not really sure what that even means.

[Asker]

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck & looks like a duck…it’s a duck.

[Opinion Owner]

Or maybe he's stoked to be with this new chick and isn't thinking about the previous one.!

[Asker]

I’d personally prefer that, but if that were true he wouldn’t be acting the way he is. He is quite immature and selfish, one of the guys here has already hit this on the head without much info.

This is easy. The fragile male ego.

[Asker]

So what’s he thinking/feeling?

[noohair]

The male ego is as fragile as an egg, once broken, it does not fix well. He is overcompensating for the last relationship.

[Asker]

What is making him feel the need to do that though? Insecurity? Hatred? Regret? Etc…

[noohair]

EGO!!!

[Asker]

What does that mean? I don’t have a lot of ego so can’t relate… he feels the need to win by rubbing it in my face?

[noohair]

You are not a man so you can't understand. But that is what is going on in his caveman brain. I won't ask you how to explain how you feel on your monthly cycle. It is what it is.

[Asker]

Well I’d be happy to explain. Understanding is good and the key to many things. Actually the whole point of this site. I’m all about learning.

[Asker]

Are you not able to explain it? Try me…

[Asker]

He said he’d always care for me which I knew was BS…as he’s just proved me right you don’t put your ego above hurting someone else’s feelings if you care.

[noohair]

You keep processing with a femail brain. Most men can't function well withouut their ego intact. Even if it requires hurting women.

[Asker]

Why not?

[Mr_twoface]

Only an idiot would do that!

[ProbablyClueless]

Some people are just petty that way.

[Yannae]

The poor fool hasn't moved on yet.

[laly520]

childish attitude

[Asker]

I know

[Asker]

Just confirms to me that the breakup was 100% right. Imagine trying to parent a kid with a parent like that, or live a happy life.
