Things you'd like to say to your ex

Hello one and all

I am a bit new here but I'm really enjoying the site. This is my first topic, so be gentle with me Grin

I have searched and can't find a thread like this, so I am starting it. I know we have the red flags, but this is more about all the things bursting to come out of you!

So... my question is, if you ran into your absolute tool of an ex that you don't normally have contact with, unexpectedly, what would you REALLY like to say to them?

Mine would be this:

"You are a short man with very few hairs on his head. It is no longer 1996. You are not in This Life. Get some normal middle aged man glasses and some dignity. Oh, and move back to where you jolly well came from!"

Grin come on, unleash it!

P.S this was inspired by running in to my ridiculous ex boyfriend on the train this morning. In reality, I was very polite.

"You are a manipulative little st - little being the operative worm waves pinky finger - and she's welcome to you!"

LadyMercy · 24/04/2012 13:59

*word

LovesPeace · 24/04/2012 14:01

Just one word.
'Goodbye'

MissFaversham · 24/04/2012 14:09

Thought about this and my answer is absolutely nothing, I don't want to say a thing. I am peacefully indifferent to him now. It's a lovely place to be.

WineGoggles · 24/04/2012 14:09

Suggesting we buy a house together then behaving like a sulky w*r when we finally did it, before saying you were treating the living together thing as a ?trial period? and if you weren?t happy you?d move out, makes you a tt. I put a lot of my savings into this property, it was supposed to be a forever home (with you), and now I?m lumbered with the bloody place after the housing market has collapsed. Making threats to me because the place isn?t selling makes you even more of a t*t in my opinion. Oh, and you really were a crap shag?foreplay is not something you only have to do when the lube runs out! I just hope your soon to be wife is as obsessed with anal sex as you too you dullard.
God that felt good, LOL. Nice one, dictionarydiva :o

boredandrestless · 24/04/2012 14:11

Same as MissFaversham - I've made my piece with him and it's nice to feel indifferent.

boredandrestless · 24/04/2012 14:11

Gah! PEACE.

Why I why do I insist on posting without previewing every bloody time?

WineGoggles · 24/04/2012 14:13

Oh, and to another ex BF from years ago?what the hell were you thinking when you dumped me moments arfter you had sex with me?! (He got up and got dressed as soon as he?d recovered, saying he wouldn?t be round again). Your excuse that you left dumping me until then because ?women are calmer after sex? really makes you a callous barsteward. Just as well I was too stunned to bash your balls in mate!

CogitoErgoSometimes · 24/04/2012 14:17

I quite like Buzz Lightyear's line out of Toy Story.... "You're a sad strange little man and you have my pity"

Actually what I'd really say is "You know that house you walked out of? When you left me up to my ears in debts you'd run up and struggling to pay the bills and the mortgage? It's just been valued at an obscenely HUGE amount of money! And it's mine... ALL MINE!!!! Mwah hah hah haaaa....."

Fooso · 24/04/2012 14:17

How did you have the front to ask me to wax your back on a friday night knowing that you were going to meet another woman! How stupid did I feel when the penny dropped! Still rather be trusting like that than a cheating, two-faced snake

CharlieUniformNovemberTango · 24/04/2012 14:28

I'd say

How DARE you keep laying the blame at my feet you self obsessed cock. Grow up and face your responsibilities. And no, £7 a week is not going to win your father of the year. I seriously hope you have the good grace to be apologetic to our son if he ever decides to finds you.

izzyizin · 24/04/2012 14:28

As I regard life as being a learning curve, I believe that negative experiences have aided my personal growth as much, if not more, than positive ones.

The only thing I'd have to say to any of my exes would be 'thanks for the memory' albeit that, in certain cases, I may be muttering 'you morally defective, anal retentive, degenerate twat' under my breath Grin

Changethatbulb · 24/04/2012 14:32

I'd say to my ex "why did I never see your striking resemblance to Barry Manilow even though it was pointed out by others many times. And at least he can sing, whereas you were just a twunt"

You chose alcohol over your children. No matter how much you dress it up and tell everyone how, fundamentally you and I were too different for it ever to work. When I told you to stop drinking or the marriage was over, you chose to continue drinking.

Your eldest child is autistic and only 9 years old and he already knows you wanted alcohol more than you wanted to live with him Sad.

GoPoldark · 24/04/2012 15:30

'Your mum looks like Suggs. Honestly, she's the living spit of him. Ha ha ha ha ha!'

Berts · 24/04/2012 16:30

You bald, wrinkly tool. Soon your very much younger girlfriend is going to do exactly what I did - hit thirty, realise you are a childish, emotionally stunted twat and sack you off. And you're now too old and bald and wrinkly to keep attracting younger women (tee hee!).

And I didn't break up with you because you didn't want kids (thank God!), but because you are mean, selfish, tight, boring, self-absorbed and selfish in bed. You're mean and neglectful to your elderly mum, you're controlling, you think being manipulative is something to be proud of and you have a massively over-inflated sens of entitlement, which is why you've never achieved your dreams (you have to go out and work for them, you know).

Good luck finding another woman naive enough to date you, now you can't cradle-snatch 'em!

Your exW x

Wearyworker · 24/04/2012 16:45

Thank you.. :)

southlundon · 24/04/2012 16:45

You were an absolutely fucking bastard. You were cruel, and your sarcsam towards me for five years was never funny or witty - it was fucking emotional abuse.

You were a coke-sniffing shit. I hate you. Even now, 7 years after I broke up with you, and I'm extremely happily married with a wonderful DS, you pop into my dreams at night and piss me off royally. Why can't you fucking well stay out of my fucking thoughts. I wish I could erase completely all my memories of you as I can't believe I wasted so much time with you.

The last thing you said to me was 'I hope you are never happy and have a horrible life'. It shouldn't have had an affect on me but even now it pisses me off so much that you could ever have said that to me. I was innocent - you pushed me just once too many times and I'm so glad I dumped you. My life has been so much better since we split up. Other mutual friends told me afterward that you were probably cheating on me and you had the damn audacity to accuse me in abusive texts repeatedly that I had obviously been cheating on you and had found someone else as otherwise there would be no reaso for me to have broken up with you.

Well there was a big reason - because you were a fucking shitty arsehole.

I feel sorry for the German bird you have persuaded to marry you. I don't know when your wedding is (or was) as I have blocked you on facebook so I don't have to see you haha 'funny' comments on mutual friend's walls/photos. I feel intensely sorry for her because either she is experiencing what you are like and thinks that it is okay (as I did for many years) or she hasn't seen the real you yet.

I hope that as you always insisted you never wanted children, you never have them as you will screw them up as you are screwed up.

Your friends used to think you were such a laugh, and then on holiday they'd see just how much of a shit you were to me.

Did I mention that I still hate you?

Oh and ever since we split up, I still call you, as do my friends and even my veryDH, TwatFaceEx.

You horrible fucker.

Shock Wow, I really needed to get that off my chest, and have needed to for some time now. Thanks OP for starting this thread!

Siddhartha · 24/04/2012 16:50

Its you. its you its you. Its not me, the problem was never with me. the problem is YOU.

Now i know real reciprocated love which is in perfect balance with respect and sharing, now i know that I am a good person and that i am treasured because I am nice, now i know that I can do things, I am useful and clever and bright and kind and my kindness is not laughed at, my achievements are not belittled.

i actually feel sorry for you (but not that much you fucking dickhead)

wow, Thanks OP!

javotte · 24/04/2012 16:53

I wouldn't like to tell him anything now, but there are things I wish I had told him when we were "together".

  • You are solely responsible for all the failures in your life.
  • You preyed on me when I was vulnerable. Bastard.
  • Stop treating me in bed as if we were in a porn movie.
  • I deserve much better than you.
FuckedOfftotheFarSideofFuck · 24/04/2012 17:30

Summer-fling from when I was 17:

  • were you really 30 or were you older?
  • what was going on with you that summer?Did you really move back to H or stay in P? Why did you break up with me and then want to get back together?

First bf in Uni: - you lied about me being your first, didn't you?

JustFab · 24/04/2012 17:33

You could have had something amazing with me but instead you have a sad life with adulterous encounters before going back to your very long suffering wife. Idiot.

MardyArsedMidlander · 24/04/2012 17:41

Please drop dead. And if you can't even do that- please give me back those good years I wastedon you and the 40k you pissed up the wall.
Oh- and the reason you don't have a gorgeous 20 year old girlfriend, is because you have man boobs, don't wash and are mean and lazy and can;t have penetrative sex with an adult female. Not because I PREVENTED you running off with all those young women who were obviously desperate for you. Which meant you had to buy 'Barely Legal' porn mags.
And despite your last words to me being 'You'll never find anyone else'- I was actually leaving you for another man. And I fancied your best friend for the last two years of the relationship anyway.

Annielove · 24/04/2012 17:42

You don't look like Brad Pitt more like Ian Beale. You ignore your kids but that's ok because we are all more relaxed without you. One day you will wake up and realise what you have missed out on. You will end up the oldest swinger in town, not cool!!! and in the long run you did me a fucking favour mate !!!!!
