Why does he watch my stories if he moved on?

Author

I know that it doesn't matter. He ended things, dumped his anger on me, blamed me, made me feel bad and walked away feeling justified. He just doesn't care but when I post, I feel like we're "interacting". I feel dumb.

I know that it would be better to remove and unfollow, but a part of me still hopes he'll apologise. I have to accept and mone on, but it's of course harder for me. I just can't believe it.

i had to mute and unfollow because every view kept reopening the door for me. i still hoped for an apology for a while, but waiting for one kept me tied to someone who had already walked away.

i feel like the hardest part here is that tiny sense of “we’re still interacting.” if you knew for certain he would never apologise, would you still want him seeing your stories?

staring at those little story views and letting myself believe they meant something bigger. my ex watched everything too, and i swear i could turn one tiny view into a whole conversation in my head.

i'm so sorry about your situation.... Mine just got up one day overtime that he no longer feels the same about me and he is tired of pretending and cant keep hurting me. i hope everythjng works out for the best and you are not alone. Healing do takes alot of time i just started and cant wait to conplete the journey.

As time goes on, things will get better and you won’t think about it as much. Also, there is no rush to remove him. Do it when YOU’RE ready. But, in reality him watching your stories right after you post them doesn’t mean anything. Like you said HE ended things with you. That was a choice that he made and he needs to live with that choice. He clearly didn’t make you feel valued in your relationship either, which makes the point why would he care now our take the time to apologize? You are only hurting yourself and setting yourself up for disappointment by waiting around for him to make a move or apologize. Focus on YOU. Don’t look too deeply into anything he does because in reality it doesn’t matter. You know how he made you feel and you know that you deserve better so hold onto that. I promise it will get easier!

Omg... I'm scared because I still think how bad he fumbled me, even after 40 days, like it is day one. Yes you're right, but because I wouldn't do something like that to anyone, it seems unbelievable. Thank you so much for the support thoughh

healing takes time,it’s important not to interrupt that process,by keeping him on social media it allows him and you to keep track of eachothers live,your constantly going to question what he’s doing,if he’s viewed your profile,etc. it’s definitely hard to unfollow and move on especially when you have hope of an apology but you need to remember to choose a healthier mental health over a 2% chance of change.

You're so right. I sometimes feel the anger and get the urge, but then I just can't. Its hard to accept the fact that maybe its over... I just want him to feel something
