[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They broke up due to living on opposite coasts. According to him it was pretty mutual. Sad but not messy. They have not communicated since Christmas 2023. He randomly got a photo text from her over the weekend with no caption, just her hand showing off her engagement ring. What motivates such a text from a 27 year old woman and what reaction is she looking for?[/quote]

You’re probably not getting the full story.   [/quote]

+1.  She probably did this because she was transparent with him while they were dating that she was looking for a relationship that would lead to marriage and instead of just owning that he didn't want to get married or he didn't want to get married to her and breaking up, he probably gaslit her by telling her that she wasn't enough and if only she would do X, Y, Z, he would propose.  For some men, their preferred form of abuse isn't physical, it's manipulation and control thru putting the partner down.

The fact that a guy would show this pic to his mother says a lot about needing reinforcement that *she* was the problem.  [/quote]
