Is this a weird response to a relationship post?? I used to work in a shop only for about 2 weeks with my boyfriend’s ex wife. Never spoke much. But anyway me and my partner put on Facebook we where in a relationship and one girl from that shop done this emoji to it - 😮😮 like the shocked emoji is that strange ?. I was like did she do that because there was somethin still between my boyfriend and his ex and that’s why she done a shocked emoji. Then a few weeks ago another girl that works in the shop my boyfriends ex works in she followed me on insta. Is this noseyness?

They split about 2 years ago and I worked in that shop exactly a year ago. And me and him have been together 6 months. X

So it’s not like you had anything to do with their break up. So it’s a bit weird of them. Can you message the girl who put the shocked face and ask what she meant. It does seem odd of her

I actually did and she never responded to me. In like 2 days. So I ended up just blocking her. She’s an older women of around 50

Could you ask the other girl who followed you why the other woman would put a shocked face? Ask her if she knows why maybe.

I actually would but I think it would start a lot of drama as she would Probly tell his ex

i would accept the drama if I really thought something odd was going on, but if you’re not otherwise suspicious of him and his ex then I’d leave it

You could overthink this to death. I see a lot of shocked emojis on relationship posts and it’s usually followed by “you kept that quiet”, “how did you manage to win him/her over”, “I had no idea”. Depending on what you know of the person, it could easily be that.

I knkw what you mean. It’s tempting haha. But for example my boyfriend has let me meet his son who is 15 and we where on a day out and he literally brought me to the ex’s house to leave the son back so I honestly think if somethin was goin on he wouldn’t of done that.

The girl is probably just surprised that it’s a small world. And she then added you because she told his ex and his ex is being nosy

No just forget about it. Don't keep messaging people asking.

Could it just be that she didn't know. It would come quite out of the blue to find out that one colleague is suddenly in a relationship with the ex husband of another. Especially if that that colleague has been talking about the divorce and ex to that third colleague before you came into the picture.

It's not personal to you but the situation.
