To be enraged. (well a bit annoyed) by getting a dozen red roses?

From my exH. With a card saying "Thinking of you".
He wasn't thinking of me when he was shagging his teenage girlfriend. Nor when he kept a durex in his wallet long time after my hysterectomy. Nor when he wouldn't consider a vasectomy and insisted contraception was my problem.
(Ok the vasectomy maybe he might have a point but he dealt with it very badly)
Well am I?

YANBU. Sounds like you are well rid.

Poke one out of the letter box of every house in the street tonight. At least get a chuckle out of it.

OwlinaTree · 14/02/2015 12:21

Stick them in an envelope and post them back to him. No stamp.

FuckYouKatieHopkins · 14/02/2015 12:21

Take them to a local Nursing Home.

Then send him a truck full of manure to be dumped on his drive with a card saying "thinking of you too"

bigjimsdiamondmine · 14/02/2015 12:22

Yanbu. Terrible behavior thinking a few flowers will make up for all that. Just see it for what it is though, he's realized what a fool he was to let you go and wants you back. Doesn't mean he gets what he wants. Onwards and upwards for you!

WorraLiberty · 14/02/2015 12:23

Take a pic

Put it on Facebook

Tag his girlfriend

Sit back and be entertained

Do what worra suggested then let us know what happens

JeanSeberg · 14/02/2015 12:43

Even better, do the manure AND facebook.

Tisiphone · 14/02/2015 12:43

Yanbu. Do what Worra suggests, then take them to a nursing home, or otherwise give them to someone who will get pleasure from them. Unless you think that appearing to 'keep' the flowers gives our ex the idea that you owe him something, in which case, send them back. No note.

Staywithme · 14/02/2015 12:45

Worra, I want you on my side in a fight.

AwfulBeryl · 14/02/2015 12:49

Do what Worra said, and keep us posted.
Then do what Katie said, that's a lovely idea.

GooodMythicalMorning · 14/02/2015 12:52

Yanbu to be annoyed with him at all. Though keep the flowers. No point getting rid, they wont be around for long anway. Just enjoy them for their prettiness and ignore that their from him.

WorraLiberty · 14/02/2015 12:53

I like Katie's idea too

Upload a second pic of you giving them to the nursing home, with the caption "I'm running out of space for all these flowers"

antimatter · 14/02/2015 12:54

Does he have GF??????

DontKillMyVibe · 14/02/2015 12:55

Love Owl's suggestion . In reality though I'd probably bin and think what a twat he is whilst being annoyed at his cheek.

GreenPetal94 · 14/02/2015 12:59

I'd enjoy the roses, roses are nice and these ones are free. But just keep ignoring him.

MadameJosephine · 14/02/2015 13:02

YANBU! I used to get messages from XH on our wedding anniversary saying things like 'happiest day of my life' years after we were divorced. It's really creepy and unnerving as well as rage inducing. I think worra's suggestion is utter genius
