I have a theory.
I continued thinking how strange it was that The Ex had been posting quite a bit about her and Ned's vacation. I wondered what was so memorable about this, as not a single child belonging to either one of them had gone along for the trip. The last time The Ex had posted any pictures of Son and Daughter was almost 2 months ago when they were all at her brother's wedding, and even that was just a single picture of Ned standing with The Ex and all of her children. Now, we get to gaze upon a collective total of eighty-five photos and videos. And every time she would upload something, her mother would share it via Facebook Messenger with Son and Daughter. It all seems a bit excessive, wouldn't you agree?
I learned at a later date that following the vacation, The Ex texted a picture to a few different people including Son and Daughter. It was a photo of her holding Ned's hand; The Ex wrote that Ned had given her a.....
....promise ring.
These two mid/late-thirties people who have been dating for over a year felt that the next step in their relationship was a "promise ring." Call me crazy, but I think the fact that you both chose to co-habitate with all five of your children signifies a pretty serious commitment in and of itself. Exactly what type of commitment was proven with this ring? I personally find the entire gesture to be juvenile and pointless, but to each his own.
Now I began to wonder why on earth The Ex had spent alllll this time uploading allll of these pictures of their vacation, yet she never uploaded the picture of the ring nor did she post about it. And a few days later, my theory came about:
The Ex was expecting Ned to propose to her.
That's why she kept posting about the trip; that's why she kept taking pictures and videos; that's why she kept telling everybody on Facebook about all of the things that they were doing and all of the fun they were having - she thought she was documenting her engagement to the "love of her life"(Well, at least this year.). When she got a promise ring instead of an engagement ring, she was disappointed but she didn't want Ned to know he had let her down, so she took a picture of it and sent it to a few people.
Anyway....Thanksgiving was bat sh*t crazy, but I'll post about that tomorrow.
