[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people I know who do this very obviously want a specific ex to see their posts.[/quote]

Very much this.  “Let me show you how over you I am.”[/quote]

That’s who she’s thinking about when she posts these things. Not you.[/quote]

Great. I thought it might be something like that.[/quote]

It could also be her competing with a friend or colleague, trying to prove how much better her life is. Or to prove to her parents or siblings that she's in a good relationship or something. It's not always an ex. But especially in this day and age and for someone this age, there is no question that she is posting this stuff for a specific audience.

I know a woman who regularly posts stuff that is 100% aimed at a former friend with whom she had a falling out. She will post stuff that she thinks will make that friend jealous. It's not a healthy attitude BUT it's also not her trying to prove anything to an ex. I think she's happy with her partner and not thinking about another man. Actually, the guy she's with shares her penchant for pettiness so he might even be in on it.

Maybe you could say something, like "who do you post this stuff for? I know it's not me because I was there." See how she responds.[/quote]
