I'd be glad that he justified his being an ex. I wouldn't want someone with such a lack of discretion, so much so as to tell everyone that I wasn't anything to him, as a life partner anyway. So I would be relieved if an ex said this, and would be glad someone like that isn't mine. Let him go.

Wouldn't care anymore, figure if he says that to the public he is making drama for a reason and an ass out of himself.

I never assume anything anyone else posts publicly has anything to do with me unless they mention my name specifically.

Maybe you shouldn't either.

But the bottom line is the OP' hasn't even come back to give any of us details. We don't know if the break up just happened. Which would make a difference in my opinion. Perhaps, they are just trying to hurt them because they are still hurt. Since, she hasn't answered any questions like when did the relationship end, we can all just speculate. However, let's not pretend that none of us would be curious early on after a break up. Assuming, we still had some feelings. Come on people. We do live in a real world of feelings. We don't just turn them off immediately after a break up. We're not robotic. Well, some of us are. Unless we never cared to begin with. Timing of how long after the break up does matter.

But yeah, if it's been a while, you probably shouldn't be looking him up on facebook. It's only going to hurt you. You never see good things from ex's when it's over. It's not like he was going to say on facebook in front of the world when you two are done that you were the greatest relationship that he ever had. Unfortunately, life doesn't work to satisfy our pain like that.

That's too simple of an answer. It does matter if she still cares. We can all give perfect "leave a relationship" answers, but the truth is usually much more complicated. Until we know when it ended, to just say who cares is sort of relevant. Apparently, the OP does.

I'm just curious, nobodies ever broken up with an ex and then gone back to them? Damn, I've been observing this world for almost forty years. I can probably think of hundreds of times couples have broken up and gotten back together. People, again unless robotic, usually can't just turn their feelings off that easily. Just giving a different perspective on the matter.

I guess that would hurt.

But posting pithy nonsense on Facebook is like for 12 year olds.

My aunt has been going back to her husband for 30 years of marriage and running, after countless indiscretions, breakups, underway divorce proceedings, etc. I think she's a fool with self esteem issues.

I don't know anybody else who has gone back to partners after a breakup. I certainly wouldn't.

I wouldn't necessarily assume they talking about me.
