Got a message from ex’s ex on FB messenger tonight.

So I’m going to guess she also messaged his other ex, who has much more of an axe to grind with him and she probably replied so he will probably be giving me the sob story about that soon enough.

I’m ignoring it, I don’t want to get involved in anything, why does his drama come back to involve me years later argh 😠

That’s it really just want to moan 🙈

Well are you going to say what the message was?

Namechangeforspring2021 · 26/03/2021 23:42

I don’t know what it says - I just got an alert saying she wants to send me a message.

Happycat1212 · 26/03/2021 23:45

Ohh I see I don’t use fb messenger so not sure how it works but I would ignore it too in that case

Unreasonabubble · 26/03/2021 23:45

Oh! So a non-drama then. If you don't know what it is about, you can't start a thread about a non event,

Not being funny, just ignore it, block her, give her no head space. Enjoy life.

Namechangeforspring2021 · 26/03/2021 23:48

I would - and I am going to try but I know the drama will come from my ex, I know because of what he was like with his other ex.

I mean why would she even know my last name? I’ve never met or spoken to the woman.

What if it's about a STI? May be better to know?

LaBellina · 26/03/2021 23:52

I would open it and see what she has to say and then decide to respond or not.

Namechangeforspring2021 · 26/03/2021 23:53

He’s been my ex for many years, that would not be a problem of mine.

I do wonder what her motivation is and what she thinks it will achieve 🤷🏻‍♀️

Grab the popcorn, open the message and then you’ll know Grin

cathcath2 · 27/03/2021 00:17

Just open the message!

babbaloushka · 27/03/2021 00:24

She can't see you've seen it unless you choose to accept. So read it, then block.

Jacketpotato84 · 27/03/2021 00:47

Click bait

Namechangeforspring2021 · 27/03/2021 02:26

I’m not going to read it, there’s bound to be something annoying in it and I want no part of their drama.

OP posts:
OnlyFoolsnMothers · 27/03/2021 02:34

Well that’s utterly pointless then....hanks

Riapia · 27/03/2021 02:50

Open the fucking message. We all want to know even if you don’t.
You can’t do this to us, it’s not fair.😟

alphajuliet123 · 27/03/2021 02:55

@Namechangeforspring2021

I’m not going to read it, there’s bound to be something annoying in it and I want no part of their drama.
Well yeah, but you’ve just basically done the same to us.
gutful · 27/03/2021 03:47

Well this post was pointless then wasn’t it.

If you’re not going to engage in the drama by not opening a message, why make a post about it on a forum to discuss said message & extend the drama?

I was just looking for a bit of support obviously that is too much to ask. Some of you seam more invested in it than me Hmm

OP posts:
PatMustardsBigTool · 27/03/2021 06:18

Support for what? You said you're not opening the message, so, again...what do you need support for?

TinySongstress · 27/03/2021 06:20

Honestly, open it.

I had one of these from a thoroughly heartbroken girl who couldn't get her head around the way she had been treated, what had happened, how it had happened....
I really think it genuinely helped her to know that she wasn't the only one, his behaviour was textbook, he did this time and time again, he'd done worse and it wasn't her fault.

She's a genuinely lovely girl who was desperately searching for something to hold onto, for answers. She seems happy now at least.

gutful · 27/03/2021 06:21

Support for what ? A message you have decided not to open & drama you say you don’t want to rehash

Not invested more than you, just confused about what possible point there is to this post & what kind of support you actually expect here.

TheQueef · 27/03/2021 06:24

What do you want support with?

Fieldsofstars · 27/03/2021 06:24

The only one creating drama here is you surely?
You should read it incase it’s important (sexual health perhaps)
You don’t have to get involved in anything by just reading a message.
