Two sentences and the same meaning ?

Question

because if he thought you were moving, then one of the ways he can mend his ego is making it look like it doesnt affect by talking to your friend”
Do you meant, that even if He broke up with me back then, and I didn’t begged back for him, he wrote to my bestie to mend his ego by showing that my Nonbegging doesn’t affect him?

The first one is the corect English. And the second one? With the Second I wanted to tell the exact meaning of the first one? Did I?
It should demonstrate that the reason why he wrote to the bestie (girl,friend) ...the reason is that he wanted to show that he is not affected and to mend his ego.
Did I make this clear in the second sentence like the person in the first sentence ?
Thank you!

There are quite a few errors throughout both sentences. The main thing that I don't understand is what is meant by "moving". I would prefer to understand that before I try to correct it.

Ok good, thank you for your answer!

Ok, you have said that it is not clear if the talking was a flirt...I have asked somebody the question did the person thinks that he flirted with her. And the answer was this in the sentence no1.

Because this person say the reason for his talking (to mend the ego by make it look like...doesn’t affect..) I have understand the answer in this way, that he doesn’t flirt, it was only talking

Can you understand how I mean this?

thanks

I have asked the Person if it’s ok if a man which I dated (dates, not relationship) wrote to my bestie (they know each other little, we all saw us 2 times while partying) on fb while he and I were in a No-Contact phase (after we had the dates)... then the person answers

The Person: yes, because there can be a lot of reasons why..

The Person: yes, because there can be a lot of reasons why.. He might be bored and she was online that time, he might be curious about you, he might want to make you regret through her, he might have needed help about something that he knows she might have knowledge about..

Me: Yes, ok there can be reasons. You mean possibly by with the regret, that he might make me regret through her, because I have didn’t write to him anymore, so he could thought, oh ok I can write a little bit with the girlfriend (not that he want to make me jealous, just to talk with an acquaintance)

Person: can be, because if he thought you were moving, then one of the ways he can mend his ego is making it look like it doesnt affect by talking to your friend.. but please, dont get hung up on that.. you’re wasting time worrying.. it does nothing but hinder progress in improving yourself.

So I interpreted the answers that she don’t thinks that this was a flirt..but I’m not sure if my interpretation of her answer is right...

I hope my English is ok..

I understand what you mean. But the answer of the person (when you only look at her answer), says, that she don’t thinks that he flirted with her. Because she give me many reasons why a man would talk with the friend? >>otherwise she would say “..because if he thinks you were moving on, then one of the ways he can mend his is ego, is making it look like it doesn’t affect by flirting to your friend (but she said talking)?

Are you the same opinion?

And the second Sentence was my answer..have I said the same thing like in Sno1? (This with the “to” and the “by”) does this make sense to what I wanted to say?

Thank you
