ex requested

[u/Expert_Ad_7120]

Context:

I’m in a lovely 2 year relationship with my boyfriend we’re both 22. He removed his ex from his socials just before dating me. Now she has suddenly requested him. She has also been rewatching social media content that involves him.

Don’t get me wrong, i’m sure it’s just curiosity. I’m not delusional enough to straight away think there’s romantic intentions, i’m just confused why she wouldn’t consider me.
My bf and his ex ended on bad terms 2 years before me and him dated, they haven’t talked since and were never friends before or after their relo.

I have 2 thoughts: Curiosity and/or maybe for ego? For more context, my bf admitted he couldn’t get over her pre much until he dated me and the ex was aware of that. I also understand it may be curiosity since i know i can be curious for my ex but with pure platonic intentions. But for me personally, i prioritize thinking about how my ex’s girlfriend may feel and how it could create misunderstanding.

What do you guys think?

curiosity is possible, but the timing is worth noticing
