I was seeing him 8 months.
Thought things were going well.
Then he caused a argument and disappeared.
Stopped replying to texts /answering phone calls etc
Anyway found out he had a new GF and 4 months later she was pregnant.
I was heartbroken
Fast forward 3 years and obviously now I find him repulsive.
No interest in him whatsoever
He sent me a friend request on Facebook and messaged me
"Hiya how are you"
Cheeky sod?
How dare he...does he have no shame ?

Block and ignore!

bangheadhere40 · 28/01/2020 14:56

I think this is technically known as 'haunting'....obviously no shame.

I would not accept the request, and block him so he can see you have.

OhMeows · 28/01/2020 15:02

Sounds like he's recently single and fishing for a shag.

HollowTalk · 28/01/2020 15:02

I would have to reply, "Oh do fuck off" before blocking him.

gamerchick · 28/01/2020 15:05

Ignore the message. He can't see if you've opened it. Leave the request hanging and have a snoop one night of his Facebook before blocking, helps pass a boring chunk of time. It'll wind him up knowing you've accepted his request and then binned him off without a word.

It's a Hoover. Hes on the prowl. Dont respond. Block everywhere. It's a benign test Hoover to test degree of success.

BronteSisters · 28/01/2020 15:23

"Hi I'm fine thank you, sorry, but do I know you?"

BronteSisters · 28/01/2020 15:23

(FB version of "New number. Who dis?"

gamerchick · 28/01/2020 15:28

Heh I did that with a long ago ex who tried to throw me over a staircase amongst other things. Said I couldn't place him and who was he. Tbf his photo didn't help me place him at all. He's aged badly.

Redcrayons · 28/01/2020 15:31

If ever there was a perfect opportunity for a ‘do I know you?’, it’s this.

virginpinkmartini · 28/01/2020 15:33

Ooooft I love the 'Sorry, who are you?' approach! Either that or a laughing emoji and a middle finger, followed by a block.

IdblowJonSnow · 28/01/2020 15:39

Just a simple block. Way more dignified OP.

NK1cf53daaX127805d4fd5 · 28/01/2020 16:35

Block and ignore. Sends the best message!

WineInTheSun · 29/01/2020 23:09

This happened tk me too, although 6 months after a brutal ghosting! Either block or just give a dignified ‘I’m fine’, leave it be!

WellHolyGodMiley · 29/01/2020 23:27

Oh I had this.............

I sent back fb emoji of a zombie waving. That was it.

But I probably should have ignored it.

Heartburn888 · 29/01/2020 23:54

Leave it on read and don’t reply 👍

Justmuddlingalong · 30/01/2020 00:09

"Not only surviving, but thriving" should cover it.

BringBackLangCleg · 30/01/2020 00:12

I'd send a 😂 emoji and then block.

AddictedToLoveIsland · 30/01/2020 00:42

I wouldn't even block. He isnt that important is he? Just ignore his messages and dont accept the request. Far more powerful leaving people on "read"

LoveIsLovely · 30/01/2020 00:48

Ignore.

Any "witty" comeback is fuel to his fire and proof you still have any kind of feeling.

Block if you feel you might crack.

HouseworkAvoider10 · 30/01/2020 00:55

Ignore the fuckboy.

AndThenThereWereSeven · 30/01/2020 01:10

Don't block, just ignore.

Sugartitss · 30/01/2020 02:21

Just ignore, it’ll drive him mad. And you too a little bit as the urge to message is there, but it’ll be worth it.
