I feel like a bloody idiot. I had a boyfriend during my teens - we were friends before and after - but we have not spoken in at least a decade ('dated' nearly 20 years ago).
He'd recently made a social media post about being an uncle for the first time etc. So I messaged to say congratulations, I was friendly with his sister in my teens too. A simple conversation about what are lives are like now, during this exchange he did make a few odd comments and asked if I was divorced, which I am not, and replied as such - happily married two kids etc.
Said he was off to the pub. The conversation ended there, I wasn't expecting any further contact, just a polite, normal exchange between two people who once knew each other.
Then late that night, I get a stream of 'the one that will always have my heart' messages followed by a dick pic.
I don't consider myself a prude, but I dated and married way before tinder and the equivalent, so have never actually experienced an unsolicited picture, but it has really bothered me. I just blocked straight away, but feel really stupid for having the conversation in the first place, and a bit violated opening my messages to that.
(I told DH and he was disgusted, especially as we're all a similar age, and not youngsters!)
I just wanted to vent about how it made me feel like an idiot and I don't really want to mention it to anyone in RL because it feels so juvenile. I know this post sound positively Pearl-clutchy and I'm prepared to be told to get over myself, but a looking at a middle aged mans penis over the bank holiday weekend wasn't what I had planned.
We'd had sausages on the barbecue for dinner as well
