Can anyone tell me if this happens only with women after they get separated?

Do men do this too or is just a women trait? Im not married and imnot dating but I had seen these patterns on women after they get separated or divorced and I want to know why they do it, if it is on purpose, is it beause they are still suffering but they want to give this image they are "ok" or really they are fine but for some reason they want to shar to the world they are fine, but why they want to tell the public they are ok,, they dont need to justfiy their behavior with anyone else so everyone else see "ohh she is doing so great".

I have a cousin who got divorced this past November, she was separated like one year but until last November she was officially divorced. The reason of her divorce we dont know for real but what it looks like due to Facebook publications from her ex it seems he cheated on her. They were married like 2 years only and had no kids. Still when they were separated they both pretend they were still married once they both showed up at family gatherings together and noone had a clue they were alreayd separated.

The thing is my cousin ex started to post photos of him with another chick on his social media account (dumb move) so people who was not aware he was with someoen else already, started to question what the heck he was posting photos of him hugging another lady that was not his wife, specially those who had no idea he was already separated. So the guy in order to straight things up, had to come forward over FB and post what was going on and indeed he was already with someone else months before, he said, that he and his ex no longer had a married relationship and he already had made a life with another woman more than 6 months ago.

So now my cousin is again single but now that she is free, now she starts to post everything she does on social media, , but now she is part of those people who post everything on social media from the famous "mirror gym photos" or just "mirror photos" almost everyday.

to post photos in swimsuit when she goes to the beach and posing in bikini, like to say "look at me, look at me". Today she post a beach photo wearing a two piece swim suit and the photo u can see her cleavage with the following caption "Loving the beach outfits and feeling good".

I dont know what is she trying to prove by now by posting photos like that often. Of course she post other kind of photos cause now it seems she got hooked on social media. Low self esteem issues?

She needs to prove she is empowered? Or she is hiding something?

Guys can do stuff like that too, albeit not so social media heavy much of the time
