What would it be!?....

Mine would be...

Hello. Hope you're well. Now that years have passed I want to say that with a clear head and with no feelings, I'm so glad we spent those 4 years together, but me ending it was the best, for both of us.... I was so desperate for love and to be loved that I clung onto you when you didn't want to be clung to. I shouldn't have carried on after you cheated but that's on me, I just so wanted to be loved by you.

With all my heart I hope you're happy and with someone who can make you happy.

Your ex.

@FortheBeautyoftheEarth that hairy one, wasn't in Surrey by any chance was he?!

To one: I really do think you were the right person for me but at just completely the wrong time in my life and I am sorry I hurt you to move to

the next one: I can't believe how much you broke me but I'd love you to see me now, I'd kick your arse am sure

'well you turned out to be a big old shite didn't you?'

Almost everyone knows about your domestic abuse. Just thought I'd mention it in case you're wondering why you haven't got many friends.

MinnieTruck · 15/09/2023 23:04

I hope your mum has finally been able to escape your emotionally, financially and physically abusive dad. Fuck you though

DreamTheMoors · 15/09/2023 23:04

I wouldn’t say anything to that pathetic POS.
But I’d say to his fourth wife:
”He’s your problem now.”
And then I’d laugh.

Lesina · 15/09/2023 23:08

I did say she was only after a wallet and a sperm bank…

Ladyj84 · 15/09/2023 23:29

How did you keep your abusive violent side so hidden till the day after we got married? Not only that serial cheat and gambler. I hope you enjoyed your prison holiday back then it gave me time to get away and back home and divorce you get my family back who you made me think hated me and bring up a wonderful son on my own that the courts banned you from contact. I hope you rot in hell for what you did in just one year and what took 7 to get over the traumas because now I found true love a man who is a man a decent loving man who I adore and now have another 3 children with and who supports me and loves me.

DaisyDuckIsMyBabe · 15/09/2023 23:29

I was so young when we met. You wanted so much from me, but you didn't want to commit. When you were in hospital I visited almost everyday. But in the end it felt like you wanted to behave as if we were in a relationship but not have the title. You kept reminding me I was single, but you confused me. My head was a mess. Then someone I loved passed away, what I needed was some space, but you didn't give me that. In the end I felt suffocated. I had to leave. Admittedly I behaved badly, I was immature. I'm sorry for that. I hope you have a good life.

Where is my money you prick

Oh yep and this!🤬

NoSaladThanks · 15/09/2023 23:34

I'm sorry I ran off with your best mate, but he had a better record collection than you.
To be fair, I was only 15!

CantThinkOfANewUsernameAgain · 15/09/2023 23:37

Drop dead you controlling cunt

BeeCucumber · 15/09/2023 23:41

I told you I would get away with it.

beatrix1234 · 15/09/2023 23:47

“Dating you was a mistake that needed to happen and wake me up, you were such a dark toxic cloud over me and I feel so much happier now by myself. I don’t wish you the best nor I wish you the worst, I just don’t care about you”

Issummernearlyover · 15/09/2023 13:35

Why didn't you tell me you preferred men BEFORE our wedding?

Also this.

Nope sorry! 🙈

FannyBawz · 16/09/2023 08:22

I told you to stop drinking!

stephanielittl7 · 16/09/2023 09:13

I wont ever regret asking you out and I dont regret our 14 months together. I just wish we could have worked it out. Part of me will always love you and I hope you have a nice life and find someone you can truly love.

That made me cringe. Why would you say something like that?!

When I caught my ex cheating I said something like:
She's welcome to a miserable, lying, self absorbed BASTARD like you. Good bye ex

Then I hung up and blocked and deleted him.

Wouldn't want to add to that.

beatrix1234 · 16/09/2023 09:31

Life is so beautiful without you. Please stay far away.

Cheirosa · 16/09/2023 09:36

Refusing to give my evidence is my biggest regret, it was stupid and years on I understand I shouldn’t have been scared of you. You should be rotting in prison and I hope the next woman you harm sees you locked up.

PieonaBarm · 16/09/2023 10:23

I loved you. I think in your own way you loved me. But we would never have made it work. I'm happy, I hope you are too.

WhamBamThankU · 16/09/2023 10:25

Please end yourself so our children don't have to endure your abusive, narcissistic self.

Lunatone · 16/09/2023 23:30

Dropping me for someone you had known for five minutes after I spent years providing you with emotional and moral support during your PhD was pretty cold. You just ran away, throwing out some excuses, and never really dealing with the fallout from the end of our relationship. I am vaguely aware that years later - many, many years later - you're in a senior position at a university, in one of these roles which, when we knew each other, we always though were somewhat dubious. I would like to think that you're not a bad person ... but I would still love to know what happened to you, because you really haven't ended up as the person I used to once know.

MrsMous · 16/09/2023 23:36

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha …… that’s me laughing at your terrible life, you lying, cheating sack of tat . Ps..mine life’s great by the way, so your goal of destroying me only made me stronger .
