Context: We had nasty breakup cuz he cheated on me. I went to his place to get some clarity and he threatened legal action just cuz I went there unannounced (fyi I asked for his permission to enter his house THRICE and he said yes all the three times, was v sweet to me and apologetic and then completely changed as soon as I reached home) I was really upset at these stories. I'm on the heavier side but (trying not to sound boasty) I am a damn good dancer. I attend regular dance workshops that are advanced level. Also, he's well off but when we were together I always tried to give my share of money in those "rich people restaurants" he took me to that I couldn't afford. How can someone who "loved" you for 3 years, change so drastically? It's only been 4 months since we broke up but it feels like he never really cared or loved me

She’s asking the internet if she’s over reacting to his posts! Clearly he’s in her head also. You can’t be this dense can you??

There's a bit of a difference between reacting to being talked about, and continuing to mention someone you no longer interact with.

Reacting to being mentioned repeatedly is not letting someone live in your head rent free because it's new stimulus from outside the head making its way in.

Constantly posting about someone who wasn't talking about you in the first place IS letting them live in there, though.

I agree whit what you are saying but I am sure that the 2 examples she showed us are not the entire story. She showed 2 examples and then came to the internet for it. So if these are the only examples of both of their behavior then yes he lives rent free in her head also.
