I'm absolutely mortified, I accidently sent a message to his business facebook page last night thought I'd deleted it but have received a message from him this morning replying to it Blush god how embarrassing
Please tell me I'm not the only one to have made myself look like a mad bunny boiler! I'm really not I was just really bored and pressed the wrong button 🙈

Yes blame the cat Grin

PumpkinP · 11/05/2020 14:33

Yeh I agree as it’s only a fwb thing that has now ended I wouldn’t care. He probably already knows you’ve looked him up anyway. Thought this was going to be about a secret crush.

TwoOpenOneClosed · 11/05/2020 14:40

I'm mortified because he quite clearly told me he wasn't interested in me anymore a few weeks ago and I'm still sniffing round him which makes me look desperate and stalkerish instead of just moving on and forgetting about him like numerous people told me to do!

You know you need to block all contact and delete any numbers. Hope you can.

MashedSpud · 11/05/2020 14:47

How long was the fwb?

Newernewist · 11/05/2020 14:48

Do you know him in real life?

PumpkinP · 11/05/2020 14:52

Well just block him then.

PorpentiaScamander · 11/05/2020 14:56

I accidentally friend request my exes new partner. I only realised when I got a notification telling me she accepted Grin

TwoOpenOneClosed · 11/05/2020 15:00

That's the thing though I've not wanted to contact him or text him since, I was just bored last night and browsing facebook as you do and started nosing on his business facebook ( not personal) and accidently sent the message via facebook still not sure how I managed it 🙄 just made me look like a complete twat and will teach me to not be nosy anymore! 😂
We were only fwb for 4 months so not long

Oh god @PorpentiaScamander nightmare caught stalking your ex partner's new partner and she accepted your friend request!
It's just the sinking feeling when you realise what you've done and they know what you've done and you can't reverse it 🙈

Newernewist · 11/05/2020 15:07

Ignore my post sorry!

PorpentiaScamander · 11/05/2020 15:22

I was mortified at the time! She deleted me again before I'd even gone back online so she was obviously as nosy as me Grin

category12 · 11/05/2020 15:25
Grin

Oh well, not to worry. You've only lost your dignity slightly.

ichifanny · 11/05/2020 16:23

Just say sorry it must have happened in your pocket or bag

Gutterton · 11/05/2020 16:45

Well he chose to respond.

That was an active choice. He could have ignored it. He won’t realise it was a mistake by you - he will think it deliberate - is there a next step - ie does his reply to you require a response.

Most people have a rummage online - I wouldn’t worry about it.

justanotherneighinparadise · 11/05/2020 16:51

Oh don’t worry. He was just a no strings shag. Who cares what he thinks.

Cheeseandwin5 · 11/05/2020 17:05

Dont be too stressed, these things happen.
He is or will be out of your life soon enough so dont worry about it.

Trust me alot of others ( me included ) have done alot worse.

You will look back and laugh soon enough

Loveabitofrain · 11/05/2020 17:18

Haha!! Like the other poster I friend requested my partners ex 🙈

Saw it in time though lol x

sunflowery · 11/05/2020 22:45

I too accidentally followed my ex’s new girlfriend on Instagram.

Mortified ain’t the word. Oh well Grin

Namechangeio · 11/05/2020 23:05

Oh no must be so embarrassing for you. But in all honesty - own it.

Yeah you stalked a little, I do it all the time to people, ex’s and their ex’s and sometimes I get on their parents page. Everyone has a nosy it’s natural and I don’t think it’s obsessive behaviour. You’re just a little curious of what they’re up to. It’s normal. But what’s he going to do about it really? Nothing at all. I wouldn’t reply to his message I’d just leave it there but going forward I’d be more careful. If you feel like you HAVE to reply, just say oh sorry I didn’t mean to I was just having a look see how your business is holding up during the coronavirus pandemic! Hope you’re well and keeping safe, see ya!

I’ve nearly added people I’ve been stalking before when I’ve dropped my phone in bed and got it by the screen 😰

namechange469 · 12/05/2020 10:32

He chose to reply, so really not that bad. If he never replied I'd be mortified! Don't reply, pretend it never happened. Don't block or anything as that is even more obvious. Just ignore and act like nothing happened

Zomblie · 12/05/2020 11:13

I'd just own it if I were you.

"Thanks for the info but we both know what's happened here... my evil twin sister got access to my phone and messaged you for giggles. Don't worry, she's back in her box now and it won't happen again. Hope you are well. Bye!"

Sickandscared · 12/05/2020 11:27

Don't write any reply or block. Just do nothing.

SeperatedSwans · 12/05/2020 11:36

I did this once on a Instagram story accidentally sent a reaction 😂

After my mistake I owned it he asked why was I on his Instagram story as we weren't friends anymore, and I just replied

"Was remembering our sex sessions fancied seeing your face" he just winked back and we both laughed about it.

We survived 😂

Flyingf1edgelings · 12/05/2020 16:36

Before I met my husband I was seeing someone. It was at the very beginning I was looking through all his pictures on different folders, I got a text from him while I was looking asking me did I like that picture of him with his ex , I accidentally liked a picture 🙈 the picture was 2 years old. The next day I noticed he had deleted all pictures with ex 😬
