Moonrat Posted June 14, 2004 Posted June 14, 2004 Okay to give some brief background. My ex gf and I went through a mutual breakup in August last year. We were both agreed that the relationship had no future due to family and cultural differences. It was a very sad and emotional time for both of us, we made promises to stay close friends, but as ever that has turned out to be much harder than I ever imagined. Anyhow she found someone new just a couple of months later and she told me. I was a bit suprised as to how soon it was but I wished her well. Since then we only occasionally contact one another (and even then its only by text message, not call or email), but even that is rare, and its only to say hello how are you etc The strange thing is that we have not really communicated for months now. The other day, out of the blue, she just signed onto msn messenger. I was suprised to see her online because she rarely does so I opened up a chat window (but later decided not to type anything). I noticed she had a picture of a cat. I then closed the chat window. Then only a couple of minutes later, she said "hello how are you" but this time her picture had changed to one with her new bf (hugging one another and looking really happy). That suprised me because she had obviously just changed her pic before contacting me and she obviously wanted me to see it. I would like some suggestions as to what she is playing at, if anything. Though I am sure this isnt some accident or mistake on my part, she defintely changed her pic just before talking to me. Is she trying to make me jealous?.... if so, why? I have told her that I am happy for her and her new bf. Did she want to judge my reaction to seeing the picture? or is she just playing stupid games? Any suggestions as to this behaviour? Is this the type of thing females normally do? Any suggestions would be helpful because I have no clue.
Miss_Prolixity Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 Hi Moonrat, I really see no abnormal behavior on her part. You two had split almost eight months ago, and within the first two months she had progressed into another relationship. Also, you had stated that your contact with one another was very minimal. A few text messages here and there. Basically, she has resumed with her life and when she seen you on messenger it was a simple, "friendly hello"--"how you doing", type of thing. Nothing more, nothing less. IMO, a person who wants to make another person jealous would go to more extreme measures than the ones you presented us with. A picture in a profile is just that, a picture in a profile.
