I messaged him ...

[Birdgirl67]

I messaged an ex last night (ex from 25 years ago) telling him I think about him a lot. I'm married. I was drunk when I sent the text. Now I'm worried the (married) ex may show his wife who may screen shot to my DH. Am I over worrying ?

Follow it up immediately with a text to say you were drunk, and composed a badly worded message.

Honestly though, what on earth were you thinking?

Just block his number. Block him everywhere.
Don’t contact him again for any reason whatsoever,
And keep your eye on the booze. Doesn’t sound like it’s your friend.

Ouch

So what pp said.

TWENTY FIVE YEARS... What the fuck were you thinking?

Oh dear. Apologies and block ASAP, then try to put it out of your head.

Also...think about why you are thinking about an ex from 25 years ago. You have NO IDEA of who he even is now. Sorry to be harsh, but work on making the here and now a bit more exciting. You must be bored....that is dangerous.

Dont know why I did it. A song played and it reminded me of a time with said ex, but nothing sentimental. Ex responded and we have a brief convo about it/our time together. Hes now deleted what he sent me (messenger- how does he delete sent messages on messenger? I tried to delete mine but it said they would only delete for me). Will delete and block him. Why the f did I do it

A moment of drunk madness, we’ve all done it. Block and don’t do it again then take a look at your marriage and see if anything is missing that you need to work on.

I would send a follow up like ‘drunk with friends and stupidly playing a childish game, I’m so very sorry I got you involved. Hope you are well and again apologies’.

Funny you still have his number after 25 years though....

I assume because he is a friend on FB or she looked him up...

Yes, FB friend. What was I thinking

Lol. You dick . Has he seen it?

A quick message saying that you were drunk when a song came on that made you reminisce. You have fond memories from when you were together but life moves on and you are sorry you sent drunken messages.

Christ don't beat yourself up - an embarrassing drunken Facebook message is not that heinous a crime!

How do you know he has the same number after 25 years.

I feel like an idiot for what I said to him. What must he be thinking.
It was a fb message, I dont have his number.

Nobody has asked this, so I will. Obviously it was a bad idea OP but do you? Still think about him a lot? Doesn't sound like it came from absolutely nowhere...

Please don't beat yourself up. Just text and say a song made you sentimental and you ended up texting him and a few other older friends as well. Apologise and laugh it off.

He won’t show his wife. It’s probably a slightly silly episode that’s best forgotten, for him. And even if he does, she won’t tell your husband - she’d have no motive, it’s not as if it’s an affair.

You need to explore why you did it. That’s important.

it's kind funny too OP... bless you .. music can take you to so many places... I hear ya..

block him lol
