Published on November 1, 2019, a woman's social media comeback has left many wondering about her intentions.

Carol, a former 'slay queen,' had a busy early 20s, judging from her Facebook posts. She was super active online, sharing photos of herself on white beaches in scanty swimming gear. However, over the years, her online activity subsided, and she only updated her LinkedIn profile occasionally.

That was until last week, when she posted a photo of herself in a bikini on Instagram, accompanied by a quote. The post ended up on Facebook, where it sparked a heated discussion. Her crushes, married men, and men with unknown orientations made comments, trying to be the funniest. Some were outrightly flirty, and Carol responded with laughing emojis.

However, when her friends and acquaintances tried to tease her about her social media comeback, she became defensive. 'Do you have a problem with that?' she asked, her tone sarcastic. When they suggested she was shopping for compliments, she retorted, 'Are you jealous?' with a contemptuous tone.

As the comments section continued to unfold, a wry comment from her baby daddy caught everyone's attention. He cited what attracted him to her and wrote, 'IF ONLY' in caps. The question remains: why are people so contemptuous of other men's wives?
