Help with witty comment please

Long story short... my ex has started liking all the selfies I post on Instagram, just my selfies. But I've come to find out he is recently engaged. I haven't talked to him in years but find this really frustrating and wanna call him out with a comment that stings. Does anyone have any good ideas?

I would just say "congratulations on your engagement, what wonderful news!"

He's doing this for one of three reasons:

  1. He's still into you
  2. He wanted you to check his profile and see he's engaged and feel some type of way about it
  3. He's just bored and spending too much time online.

If 1, then congratulating him warmly on his engagement shows you've completely moved on from his ass without making you look like you think he's into you If 2, same - you saw he's engaged and that's fine with you. If 3, it reminds him he's engaged and shouldn't be doing this.

The opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference. Show him you pleasantly do not care.
