Chloe asks · 04 Oct 2026

We agreed on a low-contact summer holiday to heal, but literally the second our flight landed he untagged every photo of us on Instagram and started reposting friends' bikini stories. Did the last two years just evaporate, or is he actually trying to hurt me? I feel sick.

Dr Gnoxx answers

It doesn't mean your relationship meant nothing—it means he is aggressively staging his independence to dodge the discomfort of the breakup. People who perform their newfound freedom the loudest are usually the ones sprinting away from their own feelings. Untagging you the minute wheels touched down is a clumsy digital reboot designed to convince his followers, and himself, that he's completely unbothered. Do not text him asking why he did it; giving him an audience only validates the performance. Instead, mute or unfollow him right now so you aren't stuck auditing his Instagram grid from your sunbed. Let him broadcast his bachelor act into the void while you actually do the quiet, unglamorous work of healing.
