My fiancé's behavior is making me think

Did your ex-boyfriend make this proposal while an interaction occurred that your fiancé didn’t tell you about? I mean, the proposal might have been presented as one-sided, but could the behavior of your fiancé or the communication style with your ex-boyfriend have set the stage for this proposal? Because such a serious step usually comes with a sense of encouragement.

The way the situation arose makes one wonder whether the fiancé was trying to make it seem like it was out of their control. Did the ex make this proposal "out of nowhere," or is there still some kind of gray area implied between them and the fiancé? Because sometimes, even if there's no clear encouragement, there could be subtle signals that make the other person feel this way. Were you able to see this situation clearly?

Your fiancé sharing the proposal from their ex is actually a choice in itself. But here’s the important part: did they do this because they trust you, or did they consider the possibility of you hearing it from someone else and think, "I better bring this up first"? It’s essential to understand their motivation because it reflects the level of intimacy in your relationship.

Do you remember the emotional response when your fiancé shared this proposal with you? Did they show any emotions like anger, surprise, or embarrassment while conveying this situation, or were they completely neutral? Because their reaction also reveals their inner distance towards the event.

Your fiancé sharing this proposal with you is a choice, yes, but I think the timing is more critical. Was the event shared immediately, or was there a delay? Because these sorts of things usually don't come up unless there has been some processing or a "how should I say this" thought going on in the background.

It's important whether any extra details were concealed during the last meeting your fiancée had with her ex. Because what is usually recounted right after the proposal tends to only be the surface of the situation, but even a small dialogue that happened behind the scenes can change the dynamics significantly. Did you question who was taking the initiative in their last meetings, or who was drifting more towards the "old days"?

Do you know the context in which your ex made this proposal? Was it a face-to-face conversation, a message, or was there some other form of contact between them? Because if the proposal was made when they met in person, the dynamics between them at that moment would be more significant.

Did the communication between the ex and the fiancé completely end, or were they still somehow in contact? Because this proposal, if it came completely out of the blue and after zero contact, could indicate that the ex still has unresolved feelings inside. But if there is still a small connection, this situation might also relate to the fiancé's ability to set boundaries.

I think it’s worth noting that your ex offered this to your fiancé before he said "no." So, did he definitely shut down that offer right then and there, or did he think about it first, wait a little? Because sometimes, things that are presented as "something interesting happened, let me explain" can actually be more complicated behind the scenes.

Did you question the details of your ex’s proposal? Was it just a romantic proposal, or was there a different message behind it? Because as important as your fiancé's reaction is, the content of the proposal could also help you understand how serious the matter at hand is.

So how clear was the tone and content of the response your fiancée gave to their ex? I mean, was it decisive when they said "no" or was it somewhat vague? Because it's important to understand that this proposal is closed from the other person's perspective.

Did you notice how your fiancé described their position while telling you about this proposal? Did they close the door with something like, "they said something like that to me, and of course, I didn't accept it," or did they get a bit too involved in the situation? Because sometimes it’s not about setting boundaries, but rather focused on storytelling in these kinds of matters.

What motivates someone to describe an offer that seems a bit strange to me? Is it honesty, the desire to open up, or something else? Because sometimes a person might present something they say in order to clear their name as "look, I'm being honest," but in reality, there's a need for relief underlying it.

Did the ex know about your fiancé's relationship status when making this proposal? Because if someone who clearly knows that you're engaged still says something like this, it may indicate that the other person is either completely out of emotional control or that there might be a hint of doubt about the strength of your fiancé's relationship. Have you ever talked about this?

The courage of an ex to make such a serious proposal may also relate to the impression left by the fiancé in the past. In other words, even if the relationship has ended, was there a dynamic that made the other person wonder, "Could there be a chance for me?" Especially, how did the endings go? I think that's important too.

I think the timing of your fiancé's proposal is important. Did they say it right at that moment, or was there some time in between before they mentioned it? Because sometimes the way people present things, as much as when they tell them, reveals their intentions.

I think it's also important how the ex gave energy to the proposal while the fiancé was present. Did they act with complete clarity as in "this is impossible," or did they leave some ambiguity? The source of the other party's courage can be somewhat understood from this.

Has your fiancé ever mentioned their own emotional reaction in their narration to you? I mean, did they feel uncomfortable, surprised, or angry, for instance, in response to the proposal? Because if they are just recounting what happened but not talking about how they felt, it seems a bit like a superficial sharing to me.

So what did your fiancé say when explaining this proposal to you about his ex? Did he just say, "she texted me again" and move on, or did he imply that he still has feelings for her? Because sometimes, it reveals not only how he sees himself but also how he perceives the other person.

How clearly did your fiancé convey the details of the event when he shared this proposal with you? I mean, did he directly say, "he said this, and I responded like that," or did he leave it a bit vague? Because sometimes people might leave critical bits unclear while trying to turn the situation in their favor.

Is the communication between the ex and the fiancé completely over? In other words, did this proposal come after a bond that was completely reset between those individuals, or did it emerge within a vaguely ongoing contact? Because the proposal gains meaning not on its own, but in context.

Let's set aside your fiancé's current relationship status with their ex, but I think the content of the proposal and your fiancé's response are critical. Did they give a completely conclusive reaction, or did they create some uncertainty? Understanding the ex's courage hinges on your fiancé's definitive stance at that "moment of proposal."

There could also be a motivation for the ex to make this offer. It might not just be about "taking a chance," but perhaps they saw something that suggests a door is slightly open for them in their ex's life. Did they receive a signal on social media, in a mutual circle, or somewhere else? These are also things to consider.

It seems that the ex's open declaration is a sign of self-confidence. In my opinion, such courage usually comes from either a previous minor interaction in the background or if there is a past issue that hasn't been resolved. Did any hint of this come up in your fiancé's account?

I would consider not only how the fiancé responded to the ex’s proposal but also how clear/honest the ex was at the moment of the proposal. Did they give a reaction like "how can you say this, I have a fiancé," or did they speak indirectly with something like "I'm not available right now, but…"? Whether the incident happened face-to-face or via messaging is also important because some boundaries can be more ambiguous in messages.

After the proposal, did your ex try to reach out to your fiancé again? I mean, did they back off after getting a "no" the first time, or have they tried to bring it up again through different ways? Because sometimes the real test shows in their behavior after the initial rejection.

It's also important to note how your fiancé describes this situation: Did they say anything about your feelings when mentioning their ex's proposal? Because sometimes, while trying to be transparent by saying things like "look what happened," it can also convey a mood of ambivalence or indifference.

Is there a time difference between your ex's offer and your fiancé telling you about it? Because sometimes people choose to hide a bad situation and only share it if things don't go well. Was this directly communicated, or did it come up after the event?

If your ex made this proposal, it's expected that your fiancé sets a clear boundary with them. But the main issue is whether this proposal was made without your knowledge or if it was something they came out and said openly. What was the first reflex? That's the key clue right there.

I think the way your fiancé conveys the ex's proposal is just as important as the fact that they do it "immediately." While sharing the details with you, did they center themselves, or did they attempt to approach the situation from your perspective and create clarity? Because sometimes, people provide incomplete or controlled information to normalize the situation, but that can overshadow sincerity.

One should consider not only the response your fiancé gave to this proposal from the ex but also whether they felt any discomfort at that moment. Instead of a general statement like "they declined politely," think about whether your fiancé's attitude changed when communicating with you after this conversation. Was there a sense of brushing over the details in favor of a summary, or did everything continue as usual? Such things are often hidden not in the words exchanged but in the behaviors of those involved.

I suggest you consider not only your fiancé's reaction at the moment your ex makes the proposal, but also how this event is perceived in terms of its "identity." For example, does the storyteller view it as an "absurd ex-girlfriend story" or as a "problem"? Sometimes, the tone of the narrative reveals more about the emotional investment of the person you are with.

Your ex has proposed, but did you pay attention to how your fiancé described your ex when mentioning this proposal? Was it a defense like "he was already a bit unstable," or was it more of an understanding like "he seems to be going through tough times too"? There's a difference because one sets a distance, while the other may imply that there is still some sense of connection.

How much space your thoughts on this matter are given is as important as your fiancée's response to your ex's proposal. Was there an effort to discuss this with you in a way that sought your opinion or attempted to understand your feelings? Or was it more about merely informing you and then closing the topic? There is a significant difference in communication between these two attitudes.

Did your fiancé mention anything about why the ex might make such an offer, or did he question it? Because sometimes a disconnect like "what does this have to do with me?" can impact the relationship. Did he have any thoughts or predictions about the ex?

So did he say that his fiancée made that proposal knowing her ex was engaged? Is there a boundary violation inherent in the situation, or is it just a simple case of "mistake"? I think this is important for understanding the ex's motivation.

Did you consider the possibility that your ex might have hidden their "position in your life" when proposing? I mean, if your ex knows you’re engaged when they're making this proposal, then it’s a separate scenario altogether, but if there’s some ambiguity left, you need to question whether your fiancé was open about it or not. Because sometimes, just as much as the answer matters, the clarity that lays the groundwork for that answer also does.

If the ex offered knowing that she is engaged, it seems to me that her fiancé should have expressed more clearly how he reacted to this. In other words, was there an extra effort to show his discomfort and establish boundaries, or did he just say, "I rejected it, that's it," and move on? Avoiding details can sometimes be an attempt to downplay the seriousness of the situation.

Have you questioned whether the proposal from the ex has left a gap in your fiancé's daily life and accessibility? I mean, where your ex found the courage is also important; do they still believe that there's a door slightly ajar? This, I think, could provide a clue about your fiancé's communication style.

Did the ex make this proposal to your fiancé's face, or was it done over the phone or via text? Because if it was done face-to-face, your fiancé's body language, attitude, and all that are also important. If it was a message, for example, the tone of that message and the response could provide a clearer picture. If there are any details, I suggest you take another look.

I think you should focus on how the fiancé left a certain "space" for the ex while proposing. That is, did the proposal come with some kind of implication, or was it purely an initiative from the ex? The fiancé's stance can sometimes leave a door ajar, and sometimes it is clearly a boundary.

Did you ask your fiancé if they find it "normal" for an ex to make such an offer? I mean, some people view things like that as ordinary and don't dwell on it much; this can create a gap between your perception of the situation and theirs. If they simply said "I rejected it" and moved on, they might not see it as a serious boundary violation. Their way of evaluating the situation says something about their understanding of relationships.

In my opinion, even if the ex didn't know the fiancé's life situation before this proposal, they still conducted a check. This means that the tone or the sense of openness created while sharing those "lifestyle details" from the fiancé is also significant. Have you ever questioned the conversations or the flow of communication that took place before reducing the incident solely to the proposal?

So did communication completely stop with the ex after rejecting the offer? Because if you're saying "I rejected the offer" but still somehow continuing to talk, that's also a problem. Beyond the reaction, the subsequent attitude says a lot more.

The timing of your fiancé telling you about the ex's proposal is also important. Did they mention it right away, or did they bring it up later? If it was later, there might be some confusion about whether to share it during that time or not. You need to discuss why they didn't share it immediately.

So, did your fiancée clearly react to your ex's proposal, or did they brush it off with an attitude of "never mind"? Because sometimes, a lack of reaction can be seen as an invitation for the other person to keep pushing boundaries. Furthermore, the one who avoids details while telling you about this proposal might already be trying to avoid something there too.

How was your fiancé's tone when informing you after the ex-lover made the proposal? Did they say it in a cheeky manner, defensively, or was it a relaxed explanation? Because how they explained it is just as important as what they did. To me, that's where the real movie begins.

After your ex's proposal, was there a "practicality" in your fiancé telling you about it, or was it a quest for "relief"? I mean, was it an attitude of "let me get this off my chest," or a compulsion to "I should share this situation"? Did you ever feel this distinction? The intent there also reveals their perspective towards you.

Before this incident, did you ever question the frequency or tone of your fiancé's communication with their ex? In other words, was there any groundwork before the proposal, or did it just come out of nowhere? Because behind some proposals, there might be subtle steps to ensure a solid foundation beforehand. If that's the case, it would be a bit strange for your fiancé not to notice.

Could the fact that the ex-partner made this offer be related to how the fiancé left a "door" open in their past relationship? For example, did they draw a clear line when parting ways, or did they leave an ambiguous space? Because some people are good at sensing how far such offers can be tolerated.

But did you have any chance of learning about your ex's proposal from your fiancé's circle? I mean, could it have reached your ears through another channel if they hadn't said it? If there was such a risk, did you consider the possibility that you might have told it to "prevent" this? Is the timing of your explanation somewhat related to this?

Putting aside the way my fiancé describes the ex's proposal, my concern is this: After this incident, did the ex try to communicate in any way again? Is the boundary clearly drawn? If someone has done something like this once, there shouldn't be a chance for a second move. Is that area clear?

Is the possibility of your ex still hanging around your fiancé not enough? For example, do they run into each other in a group, do they have a shared job, or something like that? If there hasn't been a complete break, some new nonsense could come up at any moment. Could they still be trying to stir things up from there?

Did your ex know the seriousness of your fiancé's relationship with you when making this suggestion? I'm genuinely curious. Because if they did it knowing that, they either thought your fiancé wasn't setting a clear "boundary" or they simply have no respect for this relationship. I think the real question is where your fiancé stands. If they didn't seem to have a long discomfort regarding this proposal, it's a bit strange.

Did your ex really have a reaction when proposing to your fiancé? I mean, setting boundaries isn't just about words; there should also be a stance that will deter the other person. Otherwise, did they just brush it off by saying, "I needed to explain this, so I did"? That's important too.

It's important to look at how your fiancé describes his part in the situation while explaining this proposal. For example, did he completely blame his ex's proposal by saying, "That was all her craziness," or did he add something about himself? Because if there's zero self-reflection, it's an easy way out to place all the blame on the ex.

Let’s assume your ex is making this offer while your fiancé is fully aware of the seriousness of your relationship. But what about the impression left by your fiancé’s ex? Perhaps there’s still a perception that "that door can be walked through." So do you think your fiancé should have ensured that this person sees you as a serious threat?

Your ex's proposal may indicate that your fiancé's stance of "this relationship is over" isn’t adequately reflected, but it’s also worth considering the other side: Your fiancé has now shared the ex's proposal with you. Did they do this merely as a reflex of "I should be transparent," or is it more about wanting to relax by saying, "if something comes up, I’ve already mentioned it"? Because there’s a huge difference between these two intentions.

So, do you know how your ex's attitude towards your fiancé was before making this offer? I mean, did this offer come out of nowhere, or was there some communication or behavior in the past that could create uncertainty? If there was already a wrong foundation from the start, that could be where the trouble lies.

Isn't it too superficial for your fiancé to present this situation as "an offer came, I explained, it was over"? Did he foresee how you would feel about it while explaining, or was he completely focused on just "closing the matter"? The main issue here, I think, is how sincere and calculated his way of communicating is.

What did your fiancé say about their intentions when describing this proposal? I mean, the way your fiancé interprets it is more important than the proposal itself. Could they have dismissed it with something like, "He's lost his mind," or do they acknowledge that the ex might still be trying to push things? Sometimes, sharing isn’t about guilt; it’s just about downplaying the situation.

The fact that an ex-girlfriend makes such an offer could suggest that it hasn't clarified from which distance your fiancé looks at her. But what I'm curious about is which part of this offer your fiancé saw as "a detail that needed to be explained"? Was it to provide you with reassurance, or to gauge your reaction? Because this distinction reveals where her intentions lie.

It is also necessary to question how the proposal could be made to your fiancé. That is, in what environment did the ex find this confidence? Is there an underlying dynamic that seems to have ended on the surface but continues beneath? This is important. Otherwise, no one takes such a bold step out of nowhere.

But do you know how your ex's fiancé presented this proposal? Was it a one-on-one special moment, via message, or was it indirectly? Because the way the proposal was made gives a clue about how open/receptive the fiancé is to this communication. Is it completely like "I did something, it happened," or is there an ongoing connection?

Did your fiancé specifically mention "when" this offer from their ex came? That is, at what stage of your relationship and during which period it was important. If it was during a time when you just got engaged, it might be more meaningful in terms of momentum; if it was a long time ago, it raises the question of whether your fiancé was still in contact with them.

Has there been any other communication with the ex besides this offer? I mean, is this event an exception, or have there been some "small" contacts before? Because, just like the offer, it's important to see the context behind it.

Did your fiancé present this proposal to you as a simple sharing of information like "something happened, I told you," or did they add their own feelings as well? In other words, did they really express how they felt about the proposal? Because sometimes when they say "I told you," it can also conceal emotional distance. Is it a detached surrender, or is there an uneasy attitude inside?

While your fiancé directly telling you about an ex's proposal may seem like a sign of honesty, what really matters is the way that proposal reached your fiancé and the context at that moment. If the proposal was clearly a "gauge," shouldn't you consider the possibility that your fiancé hasn't closed the doors from their previous relationship clearly enough? It's just as important to question where the other party found the courage to make such a move.

How much the ex's proposal took into account the fiancée's reaction is also important. In other words, did they do it courageously, knowing they would be rejected, or is there still some possibility of "could it happen" between them? I think the real story lies in the source of that self-confidence.

Did your fiancé clearly analyze the intent of your ex while explaining this suggestion to you? I mean, did they comment that they thought it was a serious offer or just something said for the sake of it? Because in these matters, understanding what they saw beneath the surface is just as important as "how they presented it" to you. If there's no clear insight, their description might have been rather superficial.

I think it's more important to look at your ex's "confidence" before responding to this offer, rather than just considering the transfer from your fiancé. In other words, is the source of this self-confidence in the fiancé's behavior or is it entirely due to the ex's tactlessness? Because one is a situation, the other a tendency. Which one?

Is there any hint that the ex still holds a place in your fiancé's life before the proposal? For example, an interaction on social media, contact in a mutual circle, I don't know, a sense of "being there"? If you've completely cut ties, where does the courage come from? If you haven't severed ties, what space does that leave?

What is the exact content of the proposal from the ex? Is it a direct offer for a relationship, or something more ambiguous? We need to understand how your fiancée interpreted the message based on that. If it’s a heavy proposal, is that courage, or if it’s something light, could it be your fiancée's "excuse to explain" perhaps?

Have you considered how seriously your ex actually understands your fiancé's relationship status while making such a direct proposal? I mean, is this proposal a random attempt, or has he interpreted your fiancé's relationship in a way that suggests "there's still a possibility"? Sometimes, even honesty doesn't cover the fact that a wrong impression might have been allowed.

What did the ex really aim for with this proposal? It still hasn't been figured out. Was there a tone of communication between them or a kind of "let me give it a try" comfort due to an old habit, or did they just make this move completely on their own? Does such a gesture end when the fiancé sees the boundaries, or did it start because the boundaries were already unclear?

Was it more important for him how he reacted to his ex's proposal while telling you, rather than for you? I mean, when he shared this situation, was the focus of what he felt on you, or on the proposal from his ex and its dynamics in his own relationship? If "telling" seems more like a relief than a responsibility, I suggest not overlooking the possibility that your fiancé might have felt something regarding an open door for himself in this proposal.

Did your ex see this offer as something that could be explained to your fiancé, calculating that he would tell you? Because some boundary violations happen with the ease of thinking, "he will share this with her anyway." Is there an implicit agreement in place, or is the space drawn by your fiancé really clear?

Is the ex-partner taking the relationship status and the limitations seriously, or do they see this status as something that can be "flexible"? Because the ex-partner's confidence in this offer may stem from the impression that the fiancé hasn't drawn a clear boundary. It's important to understand how the fiancé defends this status.

If there’s a certain "trial" comfort in your ex’s offer, the question here is: Does the way your fiancé explains this situation emphasize the strength of his stance, or is it just a matter of "information sharing"? Because sometimes the way something is expressed is just as important as the clarity of attitude. Even a small nuance can reveal intent.

Could your ex be entering into a competition through you? Both the timing of the proposal and the way your fiancé chose to tell you seem to leave room for this. It's worth considering the possibility that your fiancé might be more of a "tool" than a "target" in this story.

Was the content of the response given by your fiancé to the ex's proposal discussed clearly? In other words, did they show a stance by setting boundaries or being blunt, or was their reaction more indirect and ambiguous? If their response feels more like managing the situation rather than taking a definitive stance, there might be an issue there.

Do you think your ex's proposal seems to have had a lasting impact despite your fiancé's reaction? I mean, could it be that even though the proposal was rejected at that moment, it has lingered in your fiancé's mind as an issue? Sometimes, "bringing it up" doesn't mean genuine closure, the issue might still be spinning inside.

What was the ex hoping for by making such a proposal? Even the rejection by the fiancé might have given the ex the impression that this proposal was feasible. So, was there a loophole or something that hadn't been completely closed in the fiancé's previous behavior? Or is the ex simply someone who knows no boundaries? Without distinguishing between the two, no clear conclusion can be reached.

So, did you directly ask your fiancé why they told you this offer? I mean, did they do it so you would be informed, or did they have some other emotional need or desire for approval? Sometimes, "sharing" may seem like honesty, but there could be another motivation underlying it.

Isn't it also important how your fiancé left space for your ex to come up with such a proposal? You know, some people end their relationships with uncertainties without learning to set boundaries in their previous ones, and that open situation might pave the way for new proposals. For instance, when your fiancé talks to you about this topic, is he questioning his own share in the past as well?

An ex-partner's proposal may depend on the fiancé's past share, but today's attitude is more important. While explaining the situation to you, did they say something that expressed their own stance and commitment to the relationship, completely independent of the ex? Or did they just brush it off with "something like that happened"? Because the details reveal how they see their own role.

An important question here is: What was the environment and circumstances in which your ex made this proposal? In other words, does your fiancé describe this as a mere "coincidence," or was there a conscious opportunity-seeking on the part of your ex? Because the manner and setting of the proposal could provide clues to understanding your fiancé's position in this situation.

Did you match the timing of this proposal with the frequency of your fiancé's communication with their ex? In other words, could there have been a conversation, meeting, or interaction before this proposal? Because it seems unlikely that someone who is completely out of touch would look for a reason for such a proposal out of the blue.

Was the ex aware of your fiancé's current relationship when making this proposal? I mean, did they make such a move knowing they were engaged, or did they do it without any knowledge? If they were unaware, that's one thing; if they knew, it could raise a question about the information or energy your fiancé has been giving off.

What was the tone of your fiancé's response when your ex made this offer? Were they direct and clear in setting a boundary, or did they say something more indirect and uncertain? Because sometimes, how something is said can affect the other person's courage just as much as the content itself.

Could there be a discrepancy between the timing of your fiancé's explanation of this proposal to you and the response he gave to his ex? In other words, did he tell you right away, or did he wait for a certain period before explaining? Sometimes, a "later explanation" can feel like an attempt to control the narrative.

The physical reactions of your fiancé at the moment when an ex makes this proposal are also important, actually. For example, was he/she surprised, uncomfortable, or did he/she react as if it were something ordinary? These kinds of things can give insight into how the fiancé perceives the situation and his/her view of the relationship.

Could the ex's offer have been anticipated by the fiancé? In other words, was there any tension from the past, an open account, or an unresolved issue between them that could have led to such an event? Even if the situation is entirely presented as "unexpected," sometimes it is necessary to question "not what happened, but how it happened."

Maybe you should compare your ex's proposal with the details your fiancé shared with you. In other words, is there a huge difference between the content of the proposal and the version your fiancé conveyed to you? For example, is he embellishing the proposal or does he have a dismissive attitude towards it? Because the way he expresses it can also indicate how much "risk" he thinks the situation carries.

Have you considered whether your ex is waiting for a weak moment from your fiancé? I mean, is it just a coincidence that such a proposal happens during a stressful, uncertain, or sensitive time in your fiancé's life? Or did your ex read the situation well and act at just the right moment?

Did you notice any changes in your fiancé's behavior towards you after the ex's proposal? For example, are they trying to be more transparent, or do they seem more anxious or defensive? Because sometimes the real clue lies more in their behavior afterwards than in what is actually said.

The context that allows an ex-partner to make this suggestion can also be important. For example, did this conversation happen when they were alone, or in a more crowded setting? Because if it was a moment taken privately, it can be questioned whether there was a stance from the fiancé that facilitated this. In a crowded environment, however, it is more of a spontaneous and manipulative attempt.

It's important to focus on where your ex found the courage for this. Could the communication dynamic between your fiancé and the ex have opened the door to this proposal? In other words, was there any loose thread in the past or recently, any ambiguous boundary left? Without these, it would seem difficult to take such a bold step.

Could there still be a conflict of interest with your fiancé's ex? The proposal part is like the visible tip of the iceberg, but where does this courage come from? What unresolved issues might lie deeper that we need to look into? Did the story with the ex end all of a sudden, or is there still a little "gray area"?

Have you ever evaluated the place of your ex's fiancé in their life from the perspective of "now"? I mean, have you seen any signs that it still holds a different meaning for them today, not just in the context of the past? I believe it needs to be interpreted more broadly than just through the proposal; one should consider their overall attitude.
