I drunk text and ex that I’ve been working hard at getting over- please make me laugh or share my cringey regret

[Iamsuchanidiothelpme]

Split up with someone on 1st May.
it was my choice but it was because they were no good for me.
for a whole month I’ve done so well to not contact them, I’ve worked on forgetting them every day. It’s been hard.
then tonight after work I go out with colleagues, drink a bottle of wine, become very tipsy and text him 😭 nooooooo
he hasn’t replied.
mot would be easier if he doesn’t to be fair but it’s the cringe that I text (2 hours ago) and he hasn’t replied.

SAVE ME FROM THE CRINGE.
tell me a funny story, embarrassing ones, funny jokes. Tell me I won’t care tomorrow. Tell me I’m better off without him.
alternatively please arrange for a hitman to come and do me in to put me out of my misery 😆

When I met my DH we used to text each other cringey messages. I accidentally sent one to my FWB who I had obviously stopped 'seeing' when I started going out with DH. OMG. Had the added embarrassment that we worked together too. He replied 'did you mean to send that to me?' 🤦‍♀️😬

Oooooh working together too! That’s a good cringe story.

I’m never drinking alcohol ever again.

I have a skin condition at the moment and they are still trying to figure out what it is, I'm in pain and I wanted to send a pic to my mum to see if she had ever seen anything like it, It's on my boob, Covered boobs with hand and took a pic, promptly sent it to my boss.

Same boss..

I was invited out on New Years Eve by my boss and a few other people from work, I didn't end up going. Later that night he text me to ask why I didn't go, I replied 'You know I'm a massive pervert' was supposed to say introvert!

I once slept with a guy and in the middle of it he started pulling a really ridiculous face , gurning and sticking his tongue out, it was so ridiculous i thought he being funny. I burst out laughing and said "that's such a fake sex face, no one looks like that " ... but turns out was his actual sex face..whoops. There wasn't a second time lol .

Oh god, can you immediately block his number so you won’t be on tenterhooks waiting for a reply?

Dh best mate (his wife is a really good friend of mine) is an insomniac, and a few years ago when ds was a new born is used to message to him in the middle of the night, just mundane crap, I sent him a photo of ds because he was milk drink, totally forgetting I was boob out and he got a nice photo of ds fast asleep... with my boob next to his head. Him and dh don't let this one go, and still laugh about it now. His wife said she needs to repay dh when their baby arrives in the summer 🤣 good thing we're all good friends.

Goes without saying that you should delete his number @Iamsuchanidiothelpme so you never do it again.

I have a bad habit of messaging one long lost ex's family members asking how he is. 😱

Haha some funny stories.

well the thing is I DID delete his number.
BUT tipsy me knew I could easily get his number from a WhatsApp group we are both part of. Silly clever drunk me.
im now wide awake at the crack of Dawn with regret and shame 😆

I get that you're embarrassed but you don't need to be quite SO embarrassed. You may have ended it but you're not a robot. You'd had a drink. Emotions came over you. So long as what you sent wasn't nasty or inauthentic or an accusation, then I would just ''sit with the embarrassment'' as they say. It willl pass. xx

When I was younger I remember bitching about a girl in college to my friend over a text and I accidentally sent her the text! This was in the Nokia 3310 days where once a text was sent, you couldn't go back and delete it!! I felt awful as I'd said her name in the text then a bitching rant!!

Last year a guy I worked with led me on for about 4 months . Got me into bed and then faded out. I was furious . We'd known each other for years
Anyway I tried to act all cool and said it was fine
A few months later after a night out I sent him the most vicious messages you can imagine . Targeting all his insecurities.
Part of me was really pissed off with myself. Part of me thinks he deserved it .

Left a message on my friends phone discussing why I wanted to dump my current boyfriend- but it was his phone number I had called . . .

My dad was (now retired) a minister and my mum was quintessential vicar's wife. She once received a text from a young guy in the congregation who had recently started attending... which was clearly meant for his girlfriend. It was along the lines of 'can't wait to see you later...and this is what I want to do to you..etc etc'.

I remember my mum ringing me utterly horrified, thinking he was sending her dirty messages. We then worked out that his girlfriend's name had the same first letter as my mum's so he'd obviously sent it to the wrong person.

Mum just decided to delete it and pretend she never saw it. Funnily enough, the chap stopped attending the church and never gave an explanation but we figure he must have realised what he'd done and was too embarrassed to come back.

In the early days of our relationship, DP and I used to exchange naughty texts.
I accidentally sent one to my elderly father which went to his landline so it was in that odd spoken form. Luckily, he didn't understand what it said and never thought to 1471 to see who sent it. I told him it was probably a scam caller and not to worry (while secretly creasing up with laughter).

Maybe he turned off his phone.

@Iamsuchanidiothelpme what did you actually say to him that youre not so embarrassed about, you never said?

I don't think I've text someone I shouldn't have but I did once send kisses on the end of an email requesting some leave off.

I didn't even realise I had done it or I would have retracted it at work.

He came into the office in front of everyone saying don't worry I'd have okayed your leave, you don't need to put kisses into help the matter. Haha I was so embarrassed I was in my 20s then. 🤣🤣🤣

I once had a wildly romantic night in Rome with a gorgeous Italian man (who I had known for years). The following day, I sent a long detailed text to my best friend with a full breakdown of what happened, my feelings about the matter, whether it was the start of something as well as some of the gorier details. Yep, sent it to him. He said he deleted it as soon as he realised it was a misdirect but we both know that he read it…….

I once sent a message to my sister that was meant for DH.

All about how much she had pissed me off and I was cancelling the surprise spa weekend I had booked for her birthday. The horror when I realised it had gone to her 😫

That one took some grovelling.

Meant to say boss
