Texts I must not send

I hate my ex. He's been an utter shit. I know It isn't healthy to keep telling him this so I thought I'd post the angry texts I write here instead of sending them.
Please feel free to join in.

I don't know why I even bother asking. You are so ignorant. This is your children's only holiday this year, probably for the rest of their childhood. I can't believe what you have chosen to do to them and their lives. I don't know how you can live with yourself to be honest.

I had so many of these texts. Id write them then save them in my notes in case I decided to send at a later date. I always wonder what a person who found my phone would think (if I lost phone). A mad crazed woman, or the voice of reason?

I feel the same....i haven't thought about you for YEARS!! You are a worthless piece of shit who means NOTHING to me. I have FUCK ALL to thank you for but when i see your pic on FB why do i see

ShouldISellTheHouse · 17/10/2014 22:31

I am trying really hard to stop showing him I care. It weakens me. I've been sending these missives for 7 months now and it's time to stop. Posting that here stopped me sending it :-) I'm glad you found a way too charley. If you don't mind me asking, how long till you stopped needing to write them at all?

Seefood. - what's all that about? An old flame got in touch on Facebook?

How long? I'd like to say 3-4 months but as he has left me a few times in our 7 year long relationship (without explanation or discussion), realistically I'd say a few years lol. I've got a new phone otherwise I'd dig one out for you!

HarlowEver · 17/10/2014 22:43

You're an absolute dick. But I love you and would do anything for you to still want me.

Yup. Definitely would never really send that text lol Grin

GloriousGloria · 17/10/2014 22:44

Ooh my ex lives in my village, this evening he was a prize prick

"Dear ex cycling in the middle of the road so I can't drive past you is fucking stupid. Grow the fuck up."

Clearly he hasn't moved in the year we have split up but hey oh that's his problem not mine. Smile

Charley50 · 17/10/2014 22:44

I don't think you 'like me very much' even. You have sex with me, knowing you don't want to get back with me. You don't care if I come or not. You don't say or text anything nice to me, you have so little respect for me and my son that you said in a blasé way in front of him that we may be getting back together, without actually meaning it.

That was one ??

Seefooddiet · 18/10/2014 00:13

I have tried so hard to add to this thread but alas! My drunkeness and fat fingers are conspiring against me!!

"Dear ex cycling in the middle of the road so I can't drive past you unfortunately was forced to run you down like a dog in the street is fucking stupid a major result that made my day"

Tinks42 · 18/10/2014 02:19

Don't beat yourself up about it though ay OP. I did that to ex until my phone nearly exploded :) I look back (nearly 2 years later) and laugh, he also deserved every swear word, every manic text I sent. At least I directed it at the right person. I regret nothing, it was the way I felt, whether I was begging one day and wanting to snap his head off or total his car the next. So what.

GloriousGloria · 18/10/2014 07:07

Selfloathing Grin

That was my friends suggestion.

Lweji · 18/10/2014 07:40

I think you'll start feeling better when you stop sending the texts.

Put things into perspective for you and get less emotionally involved.

The children don't "need" a holiday. They need people who love them.

ShouldISellTheHouse · 18/10/2014 21:34

That was your baby sobbing tonight when you dropped him off. The one you held when he was born, cut the cord, promised the world to. You couldn't even stick around for 3 years. You utter cunt. I hope you die alone in misery and pain. You deserve it.

Mulberrystreet · 18/10/2014 21:40

You will never understand how much you have broken me.

I could go on, believe me. But that's the gist of it.

sigh

Tinks42 · 21/10/2014 23:26

You text exactly what you want OP, until YOU don't want to do it anymore. There will come a time when YOU want to stop. I believe the opposite to some on here. It actually helped me heal rather than internalise it.

GetTheRedOut · 21/10/2014 23:35

Totally sympathise with your need to vent OP! I have some really long venomous rants saved in the notes on my phone.

ShouldISellTheHouse · 23/10/2014 19:16

Ds1 cried that you aren't here today but didn't want to speak to you . I fucking hate that you shattered his little world for a dirty whore who you didn't even end up with. Cunt. I hope you rot in hell you lying unfaithful disgusting wanker. I'm coping fine, thanks so much for your concern.

Took your advice and sent that one. No response.
Just tagged ow Facebook profile pic with the tag home wrecker. Quite pleased as it appears to come up over her face in a speech bubble.

Clearly struggling this week...

I don't text, i just send myself emails!

Get it all out of my head, some mornings wake up and have sent half a dozen over night when i've been wide awake.

No one ever sees them but me. Have plenty to say to my ex, but no point hes too busy trying to show me how much better off he is with OW. Maybe one day he'll realise i've got all what matters and thats our sons and their trust.

Shouldisellthehouse how do you tag the OW?

ShouldISellTheHouse · 23/10/2014 20:04

I just looked at her profile, and clicked on her photo. It came up with tag this photo - so I did!

I did send a few choice texts the other day and wish I hadn't. They were home truths but involved name-calling and swearing and I feel I've fallen off any moral high ground I had had (not usually concerned with moral high ground but I feel really bad).
