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 🙈

You can read it without her knowing you have. Then no one knows you know and THEN you can make a drama about it.

Making a drama over an unopened message of which you have no idea of the content makes YOU the one for drama. Not them.

cricketmum84 · 27/03/2021 07:54

Well that was 5 minutes of my morning that I'm never getting back!

Just read the fucking message

Mrgrinch · 27/03/2021 07:57

Sounds as though you love drama too OP.

What was the point in making this? What support do you expect people to offer?

Beautiful3 · 27/03/2021 07:58

Support for what? It's a message you have decided not to read?

user1493494961 · 27/03/2021 08:06

Well that's five minutes I won't get back.

@Gizlotsmum

Is she a recent ex of your ex? How does she even know you? If you ignore it will it just go away? I read it as you will be dragged into the drama anyway? Are you still in contact with your ex?
Yes she’s a recent ex of his, yes we are in contact as we have a child together, and you are right I will be dragged into the drama anyway, and I know that it’s coming.

Thank you to those who get it. Not sure how posting about something on a chat forum about my feelings is making Drama, I thought that was what it is here for, but you can tell the people who are here for it.

So it's not just an ex its your child's father, that does make it slightly different to a random ex!

2021Sunshine · 27/03/2021 08:38

Tbh if you have a child together I’d preview the message as a minimum without accepting it.

There might be info you should know.

midnightstar66 · 27/03/2021 08:38

It's just a notification, could be something minor she'd sent when drunk/sent to wrong person and no drama will come your way. Bizarre post when you don't even know what it says or if there is indeed any drama to be had!

DragonPoop · 27/03/2021 08:51

God you sound like hard work op. Look even open it or block them but don’t create drama about such a non-event when you haven’t even read the message. Utterly bizarre!

CaesarsDream · 27/03/2021 08:55

Maybe he raped her? Or hit her? Maybe he made her life a living hell and she's looking for some confirmation?

Although I've never done it, I have thought about messaging my ex's new gf to spare her the trauma of dating a colossal loser. Guess she'll find out the hard way, like I did.

Changemaname1 · 27/03/2021 08:59

Well as @Riapia said , u might not want to know but we do now !

Nah on a serious note I’d read it u can Incase it’s important and you can always block and ignore if it’s a load of shit.

boredinthouse · 27/03/2021 09:06

You having a child together massively changes things. I would read it. You don't have to respond.

NotSorry · 27/03/2021 09:44

But you’ve not asked for any support - why are you having a go at PPs when we don’t know how to help? Maybe if you’d included all the info in your OP your responses may have been different?

I’m going to leave the thread now. I know some people get it and I thank those who do.

OP posts:
RizzleRazzle · 27/03/2021 09:51

Fascinating

giao · 27/03/2021 09:51

Even I want to know what's in the message, and I'm the least nosiest person I know.

Morgoth · 27/03/2021 09:56

Well this was a complete waste of time. Attention-seeking rubbish.

PegasusReturns · 27/03/2021 09:58

The irony of not wanting the drama but starting a MN thread Grin

TheQueef · 27/03/2021 09:58

Who gets it?
Explain it to me please!

Namechangeforspring2021 · 27/03/2021 09:58

I’d love to know what attention I’m getting from this 🤷🏻‍♀️ People are just vile for no reason I can see.

Namechangeforspring2021 · 27/03/2021 10:00

@TheQueef

Who gets it? Explain it to me please!
You want me to go through the tread and list all the people who have given proper responses - surely that’s clear to see Confused

Right I’m really going now.

MindGrapes · 27/03/2021 10:00

Presumably the ex's ex is in your child's life to some extent? Why would you want to post about how you're ignoring a message from them?

PandaFluff · 27/03/2021 10:02

It could be important and about your child. I'd want to hear what she has to say.
