It just breaks my heart, knowing he’s like this because of me.
Hi Nairobi,
The thing is, he’s like this because of himself. He’s ultimately the one that chose to end the relationship and then waited 8 months to decide it was a huge mistake, after you’d already found someone. That’s not your fault in any way.
Next, what he’s going through is natural. He is just grieving in the way you had to at the beginning but choosing to do it in a different way. You might feel bad because you are now not grieving, but you already went through it. If you are not getting back together, there is really nothing else either of you can do than to just let him work through the grief. So in the meantime, I would just not look at any of his stuff that he’s posting and, eventually, his grief will subside and he will meet someone new, he will then feel better and the posts will just naturally stop.
