Why would an ex

Why would an ex try to show off on social media after breakup? Ex is now splashing on money he doesn’t have like goes drive a nice car, go on holiday, buy designer stuff when he couldn’t even take me to a nice restaurant or even buy flowers whilst we were together? I’m not hating, good on him if he went rich and live a lavish life now after only a few months. Could it be just a facade to make himself feel like he’s living his best life? What’s the reason behind this behaviour?

Why would an ex care that their ex is allegedly trying to show off on social media after breakup?

You are just bitter

"I'm not bitter", you sound extremely bitter. A bit like a lime, but more bitter. That was a rubbish analogy.

Ultimately, the response here is incredibly simple though I doubt you'll like it. It quite literally doesn't matter. At all. Like not even slightly.

In the grand scheme of the things that matter, this specific thing is so infinitesimally small and irrelevant that if there was a large chart showing all of the things that mattered ranked by importance, this wouldn't even make the chart. It wouldn't even be a footnote. The researchers would encounter it on a rainy Tuesday afternoon and remark to one another about how entirely dull and irrelevant it is before agreeing it was statistically insignificant.

In other words, what I'm trying to say here is that you need to move on. Stop looking at what your ex is posting on social media until you can properly say that you are completely detached, or forever. Whichever's easiest. But don't delude yourself, you wouldn't look if you didn't care.

I didn’t want to mention it before but we have a child together, he owes me child support which he doesn’t pay, he would rather “enjoy” his “lavish lifestyle” than visit his child. I say I’m not bitter because in reality, he’s the one missing out. I do look at his social media just to see what he’s up to because he keeps lying and giving excuses when I ask him to visit his child.

Stop moaning on here and contact the relevant people about your child support, it's not difficult is it, you clearly love drama

How do I love drama? I think you’re just taking this the wrong way. I have asked in my first post why someone would try to show off on instagram? I’m trying to be empathetic towards my ex, there must be a deeper reason behind someone’s behaviour, perhaps filling a void or emptiness. I am not bitter because I’m not even into superficial materialism and not even chasing after child support money. I don’t know why you sound so triggered? I am not moaning, I have responded to people to give them more context.

Or maybe he's just happy with the girl he is with

I think you just like to assume things and not read properly, he’s not with anyone.

If he can afford designer items and he is in debt to you, go the legal route. You'll learn quickly whether it's a façade or not, you'll (hopefully) reach a suitable conclusion as to what to do from this point onwards regarding your child, and you won't need to spend any more time inferring his life status from his social media accounts.

Take it up with court, your child isn't a toy most men who don't pay are self entitled or act like the victim, the courts will make him pay regardless of if he's seeing the child or not

Probs didn't treasure you enough to care
Make sure you're next partner spoils you there will always be alot who won't want to spend money on current girlfriends but there will always be a couple who value women and will treat them to nice things.
