May I give you my non-psychic opinion?
It’s a great sign you are still cordial and in contact with her family. You also showed her indirectly your preseverenc e to continue and finish your masters despite the emotional loss of the breakup. Also, her sister getting engaged might help her realize she wants the same thing. So imo if you continue to maintain your independenc e and focus on yourself, things sound like they on track for you two to get back together.
Please so, I appreciate any genuine insight.
Honestly, I had intended to ignore my ex's mother's expression of congratulat
ions on facebook. I mean, in some ways I can see how something like that could be viewed as rude - which I certainly do not aim to be, my ex's mother is an incredibly nice person. Both of my ex's parents sincerely liked me. In fact, her dad would regularly take me out to dinner for one-on-one discussion - he knew my intentions and he knew that I never violated any of his daughter's boundaries. In some ways, I suppose, I was afraid of engaging with her mother because I might hear about my ex, or some form of good news - which I did, the sister's engagement. That said, I am glad that I did extend my gratitude to her.
Now, regarding your statement of "Her sister getting engaged might help her realize she wants the same thing," I believe this is an interesting perspective
. Truthfully, I had considered it. I will say that one of my ex's friends recently had her bachelorett
e party and I didn't see my ex in any of the photos. To rest any concerns, no, I do not stalk my ex but her friends constantly post public photos on facebook. This friend who was celebrating her wedding, I specificall
y remember my ex comparing herself to this girl and saying, "She is far more attractive than me, she is just naturally beautiful." Believe me when I say that I instantly, and genuinely, put this down when she said it. It is possible that my ex was the one taking all the photos, but my ex really is not a photo taker. Her being miserable and missing out on these wedding-related parties does fall in line with Mattie, Rachel Marie, Miss Ann, and Kisha. Then again, who knows?
