A man I know has been posting criptic messages for the last few weeks...

[Preps]

He split with his wife, they have young children.

His cinstant SM posts over the last few weeks range from it's all heartbreaking, someone needs to think of the children, why am I always the villain etc etc.

Lots of messages (mostly from women) about how selfish ex is, how he can only be his wonderful self etc etc.

Today he's posted a photo of him with a pretty young woman captioned "new beginnings, I've never been so happy"

Now I don't know anyone in this set up well, I have him on SM because of some volunteer work we both do.

But I wonder why his wife might have been a bit cross?! Yes all the replies are about how thrilled everyone is for him.

Or maybe the ex really is a dragon....?

You want us all to speculate about someone's marriage and separation, his SM posts, his new squeeze, his ex's assumed annoyance, who is to blame...about someone you don't even know? Wow.
Maybe step away from SM once in a while.

Well he put it all out there....

I'm wondering at all the women posting in his favour

You're over invested in someone else's drama. You don't even know the guy. Why does it matter? How does it affect you?
I just don't get the point of the post.

I'm not invested in his drama at all. I'm very interested in all the women who've flocked to support him.

First rule of social media . Don't believe everything you read

But why?

Who cares

I'm interested in people, what makes them tick, why they do what they do. It seems odd to me and therefore interesting, that so many women have wanted to support him in his complaints about an ex he appears to have cheated on.

Well, you do know who would know the answer to those questions? The women who are supporting him! You're obviously stalking his page, can see the names of all these people so I think you'd get more accurate replies to your curiosity by asking them, no?

You don't know he's cheated. Maybe these people do know him and that's why they are supporting him. Maybe he has spun a massive web of lies and he was cheating. Who bloody knows. I'm not sure how you expect MN to satisfy you need to know why people tick. Without speaking to people involved you will never know. Almost sounds to me like you have decided without having any facts.

Exes and their social media - what are they like, eh?!?! My ex created a completely new persona on SM which meant that a whole raft of people thought his new squeeze was me, his wife of 26 years! Another (smaller) cohort (who knew of me) thought I had died. Amazing how they have never been happier/found the lives of their lives, on social media. It’s a whitewash.
