About this episode
Today we’re going to talk about why your ex is flaunting their new relationship all over social media. Unfortunately, this is something that we see a lot of in our private Facebook support group.
I’m of the opinion that there are four core reasons for why an ex would “flaunt” a relationship on social media.
Flaunting = Attention
The Vengeance Mentality
The Avoidant Relationship Death Wheel
The Jealousy/No Contact Factor
We’re going to spend some time today going through each of these core reasons so you have a greater understanding.

Core Reason #1: Flaunting = Attention
We start first with a philosophical question about intent.
What separates an ex flaunting a relationship on social media versus them simply making their relationship official?
Well, let’s take some real life situations and show you an example of flaunting.
Flaunting:
Posting couple photos that are nearly identical to all of the ones you had together
Providing updates about taking the new person to a place you always wanted to go to
Updates EVERY. SINGLE. DAY
As a general rule every photo, post, video or quote is specifically targeting you
Not Flaunting:
Posting tasteful couple photos together
Clicking the “in a relationship” tag in Facebook
Updates every week/month
As a general rule every photo, post, video or quote is more about the other person or life in general and in no way connects to you
It’s been my experience that folks who flaunt tend to be all about garnering your attention in some way. I mean, think about the mere act of flaunting.
To flaunt a relationship, especially on social media, implies that you are seeking attention.
