In a perfect world, you would never hear from your ex again after a breakup. Unfortunately, we don’t live in a perfect world, and even when you block someone you don’t want to hear from, they somehow always find a way to reach out to you again. Here are some of the most unbelievable messages people have gotten from their exes.
No Comment, Eh?
Lots of people have that ex that act as though they have a right to be irritable when you call them out for their wrongdoing. Even though they were the ones who clearly did something wrong, you get to be treated like a nuisance for bringing up what they did.
But hey, it kind of makes sense that the presumed girl in this exchange loves exactly the type of terrible person that she probably is. Many of us know an ex that was far too in love with themselves.
Is That All You Are Worth?
One message that most people don’t like to get from their ex is one that suggests they get back together. Even worse is a message like this one — in which the ex offers to get back together with you, but only if you pay them, apparently.
We don’t need to mention how insulting that is for the person getting the message, but wouldn’t you also be insulting yourself if you proclaimed that your time was only worth a whopping $50? Seems kind of pitiful, doesn’t it?
What Kind of Description Is That…?
OK — so this one isn’t exactly a message from an ex, but it’s an ex talking about a certain someone, so it still kind of fits here. Either way, it’s pretty obvious that the ex feels as though they were the one who got the short end of the stick.
We find that it’s always a bad idea to post stuff like this on social media if you’re the one who was problematic. After all, you’re kind of just opening yourself up to ridicule from others, much like what you can see here.
No Discounts for You
We’re not sure what’s actually being sold in this exchange, but we don’t have to. What we’re really here to look at is the audacity of an ex asking for a discount and free shipping just because he or she used to date the seller.
We get it — everybody wants a discount. But, it’s kind of low to try and bank on something like a past relationship as an excuse as to why you should be granted a discount. That just makes it sound like you view the past relationship as nothing more than a means to an end now.
Expectations Were Not Met
If you get a message from your ex that sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. In this case, it seems that an ex called this guy up in order to get him to go on a trip, but she didn’t tell him that she fully expected him to pay for the whole thing.
And of course, when he backs out of the proposal upon learning that, somehow he’s the bad guy. Remember, everyone — if you parted with your ex on bad terms, it’s unlikely that you are going to enjoy reopening your relationship with them in any capacity!
Aren’t You Married or Something?
One of the unbelievable things that exes love to do is send a message about how much they would love to see you again. The thing that is off-putting is the fact that they usually have a new significant other by then, meaning they’re looking to cheat on them with you.
Needless to say, the gumption of some people is pretty incredible. Who would actually hit up an ex so casually to try and hook up with them when they’re already in a new relationship? No wonder they were broken up with once already.
Wow, How Inconsiderate!
When you’re an artist of any sort, it seems like most everyone feels that your time or services aren’t worth that much, even your ex. This ex had the audacity to ask for free services from this photographer, and then even went so far as to get mad when that was refused.
Apparently, the photographer in question is the rude, inconsiderate one. You know, we’re pretty sure we can see why these two broke up. There’s clearly not a whole lot of two-way respect going on here. Heck, the guy didn’t even really ask for payment — just dinner!
Not Going Far Enough for You
You know you’re an entitled ex when you have the audacity to be upset that your past beau isn’t taking a favor far enough. The guy in question here is already doing the laundry when he really doesn’t have to, but apparently, not folding them means the entire gesture is moot.
Gratitude? Why would he deserve that? Sure, it’s not like doing the laundry is a particularly tough thing to do, but we still feel that people deserve thanks for doing things they didn’t necessarily have to do. Are we just old-fashioned?
Is That How it Is?
Lots of breakups happen because one partner cheats on the other. But, the justification for those instances varies wildly. In the case of this couple, apparently, the cheating was perfectly fine from the woman’s perspective… because it made her happy.
We suppose everyone is entitled to pursue happiness and all that, but the fact that she claims the guy should be happy about it too just because she’s happy is pretty unbelievable. It’s probably a good thing that these two broke up.
All the Wrong Motivations
There are many reasons to get married or not get married. But this ex, who has moved on from the person she’s talking to, is basing it all on money. Apparently, there was an offer on the table from her ex regarding some funding, but she waited way too long to act on it.
We don’t have all the details on how this situation went down, but it’s obvious that the person who’s so focused on the money here doesn’t have the right motivation for talking to her ex or getting married. Some people have really odd standards.
Brought This One on Yourself
Some of the most unbelievable texts from your ex is the text that ended up making them your ex in the first place. Apparently, this guy wasn’t happy with the fact that his girlfriend had cancer, so he decided to break up with her. Pretty low, but we suppose not everyone is equipped to handle that.
Still, if you were going to punch below the belt like that, the least you could do is break up in person, right? Doing it over text is just in bad taste. Still, that doesn’t justify the destruction of someone’s property.
Did You Really Think That Would Work?
It’s honestly surprising how many exes think they can win someone back through a simple gesture when they utterly betrayed their trust and feelings. This is just one example of someone who honestly thought some roses were going to repair their dead relationship.
It’s no surprise that he got those roses back, and not in the same way he delivered them. Honestly, if you completely betrayed someone, you should probably just cut your losses and move on, rather than make desperate ploys like this one.
Lost in the Divorce
One of the things lost in a breakup usually includes access to things like streaming services and other online joys. But, most people understand that they don’t get to keep those things when they break up with the person who’s paying for them.
Not this ex. In fact, they’re quite tilted about the fact that the person they broke up with isn’t willing to share those things anymore. They’re even trying to cheat their way back into the fold. Honestly, it’s just kind of pathetic.
Is This Really Your Best Attempt?
There are many ways you can try to get your ex back if you’re really determined to do so. Most of them won’t work, but you can try them. But, out of all the things you could try, we’re not sure who would think referencing the Super Bowl is a good idea.
Like really, does that seem very romantic? Not to say that there aren’t girls who like football out there, as there most certainly are, but even so, we can’t think of too many people who would be convinced by a message like this one.
I Really Wasn’t Missing That, Dude
It’s not that this ex sent any sort of offensive message, but this text is unbelievable for a different type of reason. It’s really just weird that he thought his ex was even aware that she had lost a bottle of shampoo or something.
Well, maybe he was actually trying to start a conversation or something, but it was certainly a bit of a weird attempt if that was really what he was going for. Maybe he was desperate enough to try anything, even something silly like this?
All the Cringe
Speaking of the worst conversation starters an ex could possibly come up with, here’s one that relies on stimulus checks. Needless to say, the entire thing is pretty darn cringeworthy. It’s not romantic in the slightest.
Maybe there’s someone out there who would actually think this is clever, but we don’t know who that would be. It’s amazing what kind of ridiculous dredge an ex will come up with in order to try and start a conversation with their ex-partner.
Take a Hint, Man
There are a lot of exes out there that just don’t know how to take a hint. They try and try again to get back together with you, no matter how obvious you make it that you really aren’t interested in doing so. Here’s an unbelievable example of one such ex.
When the person you are texting isn’t even really bothering to truly answer you, it’s probably a sign that you should just accept reality and move on. Clearly, they have no intention of interacting with you at that point.
Who Opens a Conversation Like That?
When you just can’t think of a way to open a line of conversation with your ex, you’ll pick just about anything in order to get it done. Even if it’s unbelievably weird and super gross. Who would even ask a question like this, never mind start a conversation with it?
Or maybe he or she was asking a serious question about the loofa? Who knows, they could actually be curious. Although we doubt it, as they were probably just looking for a way to get in. It probably also didn’t work.
It’s Going to Take More Than That
Let’s say you want to try and get your ex to hook up with you again. How will you try to persuade them, especially during the pandemic? Apparently, you are just going to try and use drinks. Not that those aren’t nice, but it’s not really that enticing.
We get that some people get lonely, but really, just find another way to get the socialization you need. Talk to your parents or something. Hang out with your friends. Very rarely does your ex actually want to see you, you know?
Oh, Your Dog Can Text?
There are many things that make this text from an ex unbelievable. First of all, it starts off by saying something incredibly scandalous out of nowhere. Then after that, the ex tries to claim that it was not him who made that text, but rather, his dog.
We don’t know what was going through his head when he made that excuse, but the fact that he thought it would work at all is pretty ridiculous. He couldn’t have at least blamed a friend or something? At least that could be believed.
Nice Bait, No Dice
Can’t convince your ex to come back to you with words? Maybe you can try and lure them back with an item that was supposedly left behind by them? If it’s of enough value, it just might work, and you’ll be able to see them again.
That said, you would probably have to use something a bit more valuable than a dollar, don’t you think? It would probably cost more than a dollar for your ex to even get to your house, so something like that probably isn’t going to work.
Not Interested in Church With You
We can’t help but wonder if some exes are schizophrenic or something. It certainly seems to be a possibility when they send unbelievable messages like this. Do you hate your old partner or do you want to take them to church with you?
Are they just so desperate for attention that they will flop whichever way they need to in order to get attention from someone? Why would you even bother trying to get on their good side right after you say something so offensive to them?
Get Your Own Groceries!
The fact that there’s almost no context here is what makes this message so confusing. It’s a rare day when an ex sends you a message that pretty much amounts to a grocery list. Was it on accident or what? A joke? An insult? It’s very unclear.
We don’t know what they were trying to do, but if the old partner is in the mood for a restraining order, it definitely seems like they should just go ahead and block that number while they are at it. Might as well get ahead of the problem.
You Aren’t Worth That Much
We don’t know whether we should laugh at this or be angry. The idea of an ex trying to ask for money on the basis of “paying for my broken heart” is both ludicrous and appalling. Surely they didn’t think this was actually a good idea, right?
Well, at least it’s very easy to say no to such an unbelievable request. Asking for any amount of money would be bad enough, but a hundred dollars? Someone is seriously overestimating their net worth here.
A Pretty Drastic Difference
This ex wants something, but he’s apparently willing to accept attention in one of two extremes. You either have to marry him or just hang out with him, apparently. One, or the other — even though those two are super far removed from one another.
It definitely comes across as desperate, and we certainly can’t blame the old partner for reacting with nothing more than an appropriate meme. It’s just so fitting, how could you ask her not to? Thanks for your support, RDJ.
Friends With Benefits
A lot of exes want to maintain some intimate benefits with their old partner even after they break up. This one, on the other hand, is interested in a very particular type of benefit — getting his ex to do his homework for him.
We don’t know what type of relationship they had before to justify the fact that one of them did the homework of the other, but we suppose we can see why anyone would want to maintain a nice benefit such as that. Who wouldn’t want something like that?
Sending Some Mixed Messages Here
Getting a mixed message from an ex is not all that uncommon. But, exactly how mixed it is varies from person to person. In this case, this ex can’t seem to decide if she hates this person’s guts or if she would rather have his kids.
That’s quite a huge gap in sentiment! If you can’t even lock down your own feelings properly, how can you expect anyone to know what you are talking about? Unfortunately, a lot of people have to deal with messages like these from their ex.
