No wonder you're still not over him! It's really hard to get over somebody when you're still communicating with them regularly. Cutting off contact completely is by far the best way to start breaking off the cycle. Even if the things that were posted on Facebook weren't breaking your heart, I'd still say you really need to delete him. Keeping contact with an ex you have feelings for is not a good idea.
Why are you even hoping he'll be interested in you again? You know he's a dickwad. He'll still be a dickwad even if he comes back to you in a year or two, which is doubtful that he would. There are plenty of better guys out there. As long as you choose to hold on to the hope that he might come back, you're not going to be able to let go of your feelings. You need to make the decision to let go completely. That means giving up the idea that he might change his mind about your, or that he'd even want to.
Once you decide you want him completely gone from your life for good and delete his Facebook, you'll start to get over him. It won't be immediate, but in another month or two, you'll be feeling much better. If you make the choice to keep him in your life, then your heart's going to keep aching. It's your decision.
“This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.” ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
