Is it ok to like pictures of your ex after just breaking up?

[Laurence London]

Hi, a bit of a strange question I guess…Just broke with my girlfriend and feeling a bit under the weather for some time now. Today checked my fb and my girlfriend updated her profile picture, what is the best thing to do, to like or to ignore? (I got a feeling people will tel to delete here from my fb) It showed up in the news feeds and my first instinct was to like it and then kept telling my self it’s a bad idea 🙈🙈any suggestions, or I am just being a weirdo? Haha

No, do not like her picture.  She probably posted the new one to get your attention.  Just ignore it.  Go out with your friends and meet new girls.

If you're intent on ending the relationship, then re-triggering your feelings for her presumably isn't going to be helpful. It's probably better to do things that help you move on instead.

Sorry this happened. How long were you dating? What was the breakup about?

Yes it's best to delete and c block her and all her people from ALL your social media and messaging apps.

 Are you hoping to reconcile? Stay friends?

One day there will be a pic of her and her new BF, so delete and block now.

Save yourself a lot of headaches and heartaches by giving yourself peace to move forward in without background noise from an ex.

"Liking" an ex's picture on social media is not a good idea.  They get a notification that you liked it.  It sends a message that you haven't moved on and that you are spending your time looking at their stuff.  Even if you can't help yourself but to still look at their pictures, don't "like" their social media stuff or interact.  Focus on moving on.

Well, I guess that depends on what your intentions are. Do you want to get back together with her? She is going to think that you are still interested in her if you like her pics. It is wiser to ignore or to block her if you don't want to make up and get back together with her.

 Or not. Not everything is about the ex person. Perhaps it is her way of making herself feel better by taking new flattering pictures and letting the world know that she is moving on.

Ignore it. Liking it is just awkward for everyone. Even third parties.

If you have to ask it means it's probably not a good idea. She may not care whether you do or don't. Some break up and have zero feelings about it or have detached a long time ago. Why did the relationship end?

[ExpatInItaly]

Yes, just ignore it. 

The detachment process starts somewhere. Let this be one of the first small steps.

Just had the same experience a few days ago. The ex (who broke up with me) posted a beautiful picture of herself seated at an obviously very nice restaurant. My fist instinct was to like it, but then I thought "she's out with a new guy and he's the one taking this picture." I didn't like it, and sure enough, that's exactly what it was. 

I immediately realized her FB was only going to cause me pain so I blocked the feed and haven't gone back.
