writes: I broke up with my boyfriend 2 weeks ago. It ended badly but he wanted remain friends but I said that it wasn't what I wanted and cut all contact.The relationship was 9 months (but we knew eachother for 5 years) and ended because of a mutual friend's interference. I realised what she was doing but because she is like family to him, I had to be careful of what I said to him. She was one of those toxic friends that can't stand to be left out. She's not in a relationship and always tries to get involved in other people's. But he couldn't and probably still doesn't see it.Now he's trying to make me jealous via status updates on his phone. He never updated his status before and things he writes are obviously aimed at me. I haven't reacted. Why is he trying to make me jealous?

I was so hurt but I thought that she will always be in the background so it was best to cut all contact for a few months. But I miss him sooooo much it hurts.

 The relationship obviously was stressful to you but your boyfriend did not see that and was shocked about the breakup. Since you cut all contact with him you didn't give him a chance to talk and resolve problems. He feels nothing he does matters anymore. He doubts if you ever loved him if you can just let go like that. At least a reaction from you can show that you loved him a bit.

Do you want him back? Just ignore his status updates it shouldn't bother you. Its just his way of proving to you that he is moving on and its his way of dealing with the break up.As for the friend I wouldn't be bothered with people like that in my life or id at least tell her to mind her own business anyway, because she would always interfere in your relationships.
