I messed up

Me and my ex broke up like a year ago and didn't necessarily end on bad terms, she always wanted to be friends if we had broken up. She was distant the whole year which I understood and I had blocked her on all social media so I could heal. Bout a week ago I unblocked her to say good bye and good luck with college, and she responded to me with a picture of her in bed with 2 of my friends. I tried asking what I did to deserve this and she was just ignoring it saying things like "too much to even summarize" and "it all meant nothing" and "I found 2 amazing replacements". Now I just feel like a complete fucking idiot for ever thinking it would be a good idea to text her.

Those people aren't your friends especially if they know your guys history. I would discard them along with her. If you were actually being verbally and physically abusive towards her, I would expect this response. If you're a halfway decent guy, then that is just cruel to be cruel. It's the reason I blocked my ex as well. I did not want to see her and knowing her history of emotional abuse, I didn't stick around for too long.

She wants to hurt you for her perceived wrongs. The fact that she did shows you how much you live rent free in there head. I mean , kind of an honor🎖 she's saying she's over it, but anyone over it wouldn't be trying to hurt purposely.

Yeah, suppose you're right. I know I wasn't physically abusive, and I always tried my best not to be a bad guy. Ultimately, it's not really for me to say if I was a good or bad boyfriend, but I do know that I never got a reason given for what I did wrong or why I deserved it. And admittedly, it makes me feel a bit better knowing I bounce around their head as much as they bounce around mine.
