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.

Dear Roger,

You may be the only properly nice boyfriend I ever had. You were dead sexy, very clever and very kind. I dumped you for a twerp whose all-consuming ego damaged my life - a mistake I was programmed to make, though neither of us knew that then.

I imagine you've enjoyed great success and now have a happy family. It's the very least you deserve. Thank you for spending some of your life in mine, showing me there is a better way to love :)

Brilliant Thread! Im LOL and Shock ((changey))

Please, spend more time with your children they really need you.

I'd like to know why her - after all that is said and done she really isnt a very nice person!
I'd like to know if *'s child who is months older than our eldest is yours - the resemblance is undeniable (+ she says he is)

Also I hope you are actually happy, after all that you put me through and the lies you both told I hope you are finally happy -

Oh and BTW check that place you used to go with her when she is "at work" you wont like what you see - but you are her cash cow, you pay her for that thing she does that I wouldnt do.

I'm sorry I was an arse....but you let me get away with it for quite a while!! I think I really wanted you to confront me and make me stop. Did you finally get your own back by sleeping with my then best friend and moving her into our flat as soon as I'd moved out??
Ps You should have been with her and not me from the start....star trek and sci-fi stuff bores the living crap out of me.
PPS your dad is ace but your sister scared me a little.

Oh and to my EA man

Thank you, thank you, thank you for making me see what a relationship is truly like and for being my first real love. I didnt know it could feel that amazing. I will always love you and be eternally grateful for my first experience of tenderness, respecting me as a person not an object. I will never forget the way you made me feel. I love you from the bottom of my heart for showing me the way to standing on my own too feet whilst the world was crashing down around me.

Thank you xxxx

Its not normal to go out every Friday to Karate training, no matter how good you think you are, and expect me to stay in and clean the house top to bottom. I'm 19 years old (was at the time!) and you're treating me like an old woman and making me have no life

I didn't realise at the time how much of a bastard you were, that day when you, said I was so fat no man would ever want to shag me. I was a size 12, and all it did was make me put weight on and shag around to prove you wrong.

All my family hated you, and because of your horrific attitude to life and to me, people avoided me. When YOU decided that we weren't to be together any more, I was devastated, mainly because I was so terrified of starting again with no friends and no concept of how to live a normal life. I now have a group of friends who I love dearly, and lets be honest, I love them more than I ever loved you.

However, on the whole, thanks for making the decision for me. I was too terrified to being lonely to ever think about finishing things with you, no matter how depressed I was. I was frightened about admitting that I'd failed, and yet you eventually made that decision for me and had you not, I would have likely been back to a size 10, desperately unhappy, married with 3 kids by now and working in a dead end job because my chances of success scared you. Now I'm free of your hell, I have a fabulous job, am living abroad, and have a fabulous husband who doesn't give a rats arse that I'm a size 16.

Oh and by the way, I have sex with him not only because I think I should, but because I want to. So ner.

I'd say:

When you told me I would be nothing without you, and that the best job I could hope for as a single mother would be on the checkout in Tesco, I actually believed you might be right. Turns out you weren't. Knobhead.

Brilliant thread by the way.

tintoytarantula · 01/05/2012 01:32

I'd say:

You do realise that you basically threatened to rape me as a test of my trust, to see if I would just lie there sweetly because I knew you would never really do such a thing? And then when I asked what the hell you were doing, you took that as proof that I didn't really love you? Dude. Seriously. That's fucked up. I honestly believe you had no concept of what you were really doing, and it all seemed reasonable to you, but WTF?? Thank god you broke up with me, because I didn't see it at the time, but with hindsight it's just...whoa.

I hope you're happy, but I hope more that your girlfriend is happy. And safe.

Ooh, yes! Dennis, you self-deluding alcoholic, I have to thank you for your rant about my worthlessness, how I'd never make anything of my life and should give up talking about my ambitions because they were only pipe dreams.

Until then I'd been dithering about whether to apply for university. I sent off the forms the next day.
