Finally gave him a chance and he played me

Ex with dismissive avoidant tendencies that I didn’t end o good terms with tried to come back years later. After not speaking for a while, I was curious why he was watching me online and hardcore pursuing me all of a sudden even though we lived far from each other. I was a bit hesitant given his pattern but I figured so many years had passed maybe he grew up. He love-bombed me, said he wanted to be together, that he still thought about your intimate moments. Wanted to plan a trip together. Supposedly single. Out of the blue he posts a cozy picture with another woman months later without any explanation. After digging I find out that she is someone he’s known for years who he often travels with and goes out with. Funny how she never got mentioned. I was pissed. He was coy about who she was… a “friend” after laughing it later, and then tried to tell me he didn’t owe me an explanation and that he couldn’t do long distance and I was looking for too much lol. He asked to be friends. After a while I agreed, but completely shut down, and then he changed his tune completely and restarted the pursuit. There was the pattern again, he kept dangling trips but kept giving excuses as to why he couldn’t come. The last excuse was he couldn’t afford it. I realized it was a crock of shit, since he had already awakened my skepticism about his honesty . A month after cutting him off I find out he came close to my city with her… lol clearly this plan was long already in the works he liked to plan things in advance. A trip we were supposed to take. The fucker. The second he realized I knew he hid the evidence lol innocent behavior huh?
