OK, so this ex girlfriend has been stressing to me an awful lot lately on how happy she is. Cuz I guess about a month ago I asked her if she was in a roundabout way.

But if someone is happy don't they just.. I don't know, say it once, and drop it? Why does she feel the need to keep telling me so manically? This is like the 5th time she's sent a message to me in some way or another since then. Saying she's ecstatic, couldn't be happier, blah blah blah. It seems like overkill to me.

Which brings me to my next question: why do women lie sooooo much? How is a man supposed to cope with so many lies thrown in his teeth? How can he tell whats up and whats down and whats sideways? What's real and what's imagined? Argh *headdesk*

I haven't responded yet, not sure if I should, wouldn't want to ruin the "ecstatic happiness". But I begin to wonder if she won't be satisfied until I say something like, "Good for you"? or "Yeah, high five!"

What in the holy name of bunions am I to do with this woman??

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

That's what I thought...

Its always nearly impossible to tell though. She has lied to me so much in the past I never know whats real or not with her. That's the main reason we aren't together anymore, if she didn't lie so much we might be together still! But I freaked out one day because I felt like I didn't know ANYTHING about our relationship.

Still..I don't want her to be unhappy. Blah, but what can I do?

she is probably not happy! but trying to make you feel bad as if she is doing better than you.when in actual fact You are obviously in a better place than her and she knows that so is trying to cover up how unhappy she may be.

A girl will prob never tell her ex she is lonely or sad. It doesnt look good to be that honest with someone who has moved on.
