[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You want us to say that she's a terrible person and is looking to twist the knife or something?

There might be a tiny bit of that going on (which would be entirely understandable), but mostly she's just happy and wants everyone to know. That is perfectly normal.

Your son sends back congratulations and stops thinking about it. And you should stop AGONIZING.

I posted this because I am old and out of touch, so I'm crowd sourcing on here. I don't know if this is common or strange with kids this age. My gut reaction was this is rude to her fiancé, but again, I'm old. [/quote]

[b]It's not rude to her fiance.[/b]

My worst interpretation would be:

"Someone loves me enough to marry me and you didn't".

I think it's unfinished business but by leaving the caption off/not sending text she's being less explicit and maybe less rude.

It might be a bit more polite if she believes they meant a lot to each other and she believes people should find out "first-hand".  That's a norm for some people.  I prefer news thirdhand actually.

I had to give my husband of 30 years a 1 year deadline to decide.  He was young and his indecisiveness was not flattering or comforting, even if it was understandable.

Texting an ex that you haven’t spoken to in two years right after you get engaged is indeed, rude to your fiance.  [/quote]
