Ex text...

[whenthelightsgoout1234]

A bit of history; guy I dated around 15-16 years ago, dated for a few months, really liked him, few kisses and dates but didn't go any further due to him being quite flaky with meets. Then met my now husband. He sent a text around 14 years ago saying he misses me and is in love with me. I told him I am happy in my relationship and not to message me again. My husband and I have been together 15 years, married 8 years and have 3 kids.

Random message from him:

Ex: are you tired today?
Me: yes (been up with the youngest all night teething and thinking he spotted me out looking rough)
Ex: thought so, after spending the night in my dream. Just wow. It was hot and wild and you are amazing.
Me: ignores message!

What on earth! He is in relationship, has been for around 6 months some men are just gross! I Definitely need to ignore and not respond right?

Why have you even still got his number. Strange.
if you love your husband, delete messages and block pronto!

Sorry not a text was over Facebook. We aren't friends on there, it came up in the message requests.

14 years ago when you got a text, why did you respond? If some random bloke I dated texted me and I was with my new boyfriend who I fancied, I'd ignore it!

Why are you still engaging with this guy you barely know from 16 years ago? Is your husband ok with this? You're a wife and mother and you're texting some man who you used to date.

I just don't get it. Block? Ignore? I don't know why this is a question for Mumsnet. Sorry for being blunt, OP, but if it was a man, we'd all say the same.

I wouldn't be explaining that 'I'm happy now', the block and delete would speak for itself

Ok but the answer is the same, block, ignore. Why risk anything for someone you don’t even know?! Are you unhappy?

He's a creep and he's creeping around you to see if he can start an affair. Been there and thankfully I said no too.
