He recently asked me if he should accept a friend request from a superior at work and felt he may just be nosing around. I felt it was nonsense and based on the fact that they work together the request should be accepted. He stated that there are friends that belong on FB and others just on Linkedin but best friends can be on both. This got me thinking and since he doesn't acknowledge my posts but only his closer friends and co-workers mainly women. I recently posted a couple very nice pictures of myself but no likes. I asked him if it would be more comfortable if we weren't on FB given his idea of privacy and figured he might want to keep it one-sided with work-related people and his response was "no." His reaction was to like a picture of my dog who has his own page (his breeder wanted to keep up with him) but not any of my own. This felt forced. I felt a bit slightly. Next he likes a very beautiful picture of a former woman co-worker. It felt like a taunt. I don't know what game he's playing. He seems to be a bit of a psychopath and feel like unfriending him. Don't really want ant more private messaging. You're either a friend on FB or you're not. Any opinions on this behavior? Should I unfriendly?

 Eh, why not just take the trash out?
With that I mean he isn't exactly a FRIEND to you so IS there a point in keeping him around on FB?
Block and unfriend and have a deep sigh of relief.

I do believe he borders on psychopathy given many events during the relationship. I left the company we both worked at and he insisted I give him my personal email which I did not and suggested he could keep in touch through FB. But all he does is private message and not brief hellos and a simple "liking" a pic. Yes, his actions feel like taunts which is no more and no less than what he used to do in the past. Gaslighting was one of the biggies along with collecting women on FB.......some he didn't even know. Now I have to get enough courage to unfriend him. Wish me luck!

 If you believe he is using facebook to taunt you and also feel slighted by him, then yes, unfriend and block him as well. You are under no obligation to remain friends on facebook, just like he is under no obligation to like your pictures.
