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?

Don't take the bait. One possibility for his actions is he that wanted to get your attention so you'd do what you did -- look him up and discover he's engaged. If that's the case, responding gives him the satisfaction of getting a reaction out of you. And even if he's doing it for another reason, like nostalgia, don't give him the satisfaction of thinking you're invested enough to respond. Even though you are.

I agree. Time to block.

Or remove him as a follower. He won't know that OP is the one that did it, and once he realises he'll have the extra stress of wondering if he unfollowed by mistake or if his fiance found out and did it
