Why would an EX want to be a PART OF YOUR life in any way possible?

[Reese Thinm]

My ex just became best friends with my cousin and has him on his Facebook pic. I just found out (yes I creeped lol). He didn't know my cousin before so I don't think my cousin knows but ex does.

I was told my ex 'knows what he's doing' and that he wants to be a part of my life in any way possible. My ex is a jerk and I dumped him and this is random. He may be trying to piss me off but still. Can u explain?

Btw, it's really ironic. Cuz a week after we broke up, I put up a photo as My profile pic with my cuz, so he Knows. And I'm not fb friends with either one of them.

Maybe they still care for you (not romantically)

Maybe he still have feelings for you.

Two sayings come to mind.

You don't know what you have until it is gone.
Sometimes, you want what you can't have. Now that you are gone, he wants back. In addition, some people don't like to lose as they want to have total control.

It is also possible that he has feelings.
