What do you think of this text?

OK. Long story, but have cheating ex partner who I was separated from when I received this text on the morning of my DC's birthday. However, at the same time he was making very obvious attempts to get back with me and sending very emotional communications to me etc.

Strangely, he didn't make any plans for our DC's birthday. And didn't really ask if he could see DC either. Very vague about it all. On the morning of her birthday, quite out of the blue, I received this text on MY phone.

HI [HIS NAME], IS IT STILL OK FOR 10am TODAY? X [HER NAME]

That day, DC's birthday, he put a card through our door in the morning and then again in the evening. Didn't knock, didn't leave present. The times that he did this would indicate that he wasn't at work (but he's a mega worker - apparently always 'working late.')

So, all looks fairly straightforward. But where did she get MY number from and why send a text for him to ME? What was the point?

Needless to say, I texted back "Who is this?" but no reply. When I asked him what was going on, he denied, denied, denied and then started ridiculing me. We've had all the denial before when I've found out about other women. He's then claimed that I stopped him seeing his DC on her birthday etc……

Any thoughts on the text and why to my phone, and where she got my number from?

Thanks QueenofallIsee. That does make sense, as its not been the first 'mistake' text from him/connected to him. Just don't understand why he would do it on his own DC's birthday (and at the same time not bother with a present for DC or try and visit her - just posted cards through door.)

Attention seeking mess of a man.

I had one once, he was determined to woo me but I wasn't interested, who left voicemail messages in a fake voice/accent pretending to be someone else warning me off the guy he thought I was interested in.

Surely he accidentally forwarded it to you.

Nah, like you say, you don't use receiver's name and sender's name in a text. Its a set up. He is manipulating you for his own ends. Don't play, keep contact to a minimum.(dont mean with dc)
