😕  
I broke up with her about a year ago because her sometimes-erratic behaviour wigged me out a bit.

What kind of reaction could she possibly be looking for? Is that supposed to be inticing? Or is it more of a “Neener-neer” sort of thing?

A bit obscure, if you ask me.

My wag’s are:

A. She is trying to “rub it in” just a bit.  
B. She is hoping to rekindle your relationship.  
C. Her sometimes erratic behaviour is still in full force.

A would be a bit odd, B would be understandable, C would seem fitting for an erratic person.

Probably not the norm, isn’t it usually the other way around, as in, someone sharing pictures of their ex?

If this had happened to me, I honestly would not know _what_ to think.

Link please…

Supposed to be enticing, in a misguided and not joined-up-thinking kind of way. Then she’d probably blow you out if you went for it; residual issues and all that poisonous psycho stuff.

You did well to bail when you did.

Batten down the hatches, change your ID and get plastic surgery. Think about leaving the country and changing sex. Speak to no one. Ever.

She heard about your pizza problem and was trying to exacerbate the tightness your boys were experiencing?

I think the pictures need to be verified on both validity and quality.

Well at least \*she \* e-mailed them to you. Could be worse. My buddy had to stumble across pics of his ex-wife up on some site. Then he just _had_ to send them to me for verification.

I was not amused.

I’m with **SkyBum**. The answer is probably C with a bit of A thrown in there.

The only thing I think you can learn for certain is that she has difficulty conjugating the verb to hang.

For further proof, ask her if she thought you were well hang.

My ex wife did the same crap to me, except she sent me the picture. Now what would I want with that? If I wanted a naked ex I would have stayed.

Since she seems to consider it normal for couples to take nude and erotic pictures when they’re together, and since you two were unable to do so because of the lack of a digital camera, she was just balancing the karma by giving you what you deserved but missed out on before. It’s simple justice, nothing more.

Or she’s just an exhibitionist and likes to send naked pictures out.

Plus, apparently, she doesn’t think ill of you and harbor hostilities. So that’s good, right?

Dude. You don’t need me to tell you what you’re supposed to do with that.

Anyway, you can look at it with none of the negative side effects (e.g., whining, harping on your every failing, and so forth).

Maybe some guy or woman simply got into that computer that she uses & sent what email to everyone on her email address list? It’s pretty easy to do.

email her & ask her what’s up.
