I will make a long story short: I broke up with my (Bipolar 1) boyfriend 12 days ago and have told him on three separate occasions that we cannot be in contact for a full month. I told him this so that we may have time to heal.

I haven't spoken with him for nearly a week; he has been good about not contacting me. However, when I posted three photographs on Facebook earlier in the day, he commented on them saying things such as: "You're so beautiful...."

I feel as though he is still trying to contact me, although in a subtler way. This is after I've told him three times not to contact me.

Is he confused about what I meant when I said we needed to be apart and needed not to message one another? Or is he pushing the boundaries purposefully?

How should I respond to these comments? I am leaning towards ignoring them completely, but I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do.

Thank you in advance; it means a lot.
