she overshares with BFF(about us )

I am on the path of Getting back together with my ex-wife (3kids) as she has grown from her old ways that made us break up.

I just discovered that she shares every single thing we do and talk about i.e. when I am sad, when I disagree with her , when we have sex and how the sex was, how many times we have kissed in the day , how I discipline or talk to my kids , her toilet breaks(seriously ) , their periods, what I am wearing (including sneaky pictures of me), our arguments and how I am always the one in the wrong (calling me narcissistic, childish, etc) and when we were not together they used to say worst things , how she will not date anyone who looks like me (height , race etc)

I am very much put off and I don't want to tell her I don't like this oversharing because I found out through her WhatsApp(I was not made to read all this ) . She was showing me a message and pictures from her Best friend and I just scrolled up and saw their usual conversations , I couldn't help but to continue reading (I spend almost an hour at this as she just fell asleep and I regret it )

During one 4 years apart, this friend supported her going from man to man ,and many other bad decisions that affect my ex-wife to this day and she regrets it herself. I do not think this is a good friend which she agrees with all the time now but yet she still Overshares .

I am not the one to say Don't be friends with certain people but oversharing is a threat to my usual approach to relationships, I am very private and I believe couples should work out their issues without a 3rd part first.

I AM PUT OFF TRYING TO MAKE THIS RELATIONSHIP WORK NOW.

How can I tell her I am put off by this without exposing that I saw her messages . I just don't want to continue leading her on and this friend stays a part of this

Genuinely I couldn't be with someone like this
I had a friend who would tell me the Intimate details of her life and id just smile and nod because I don't actually GAF about her and her (now ex) H sex life. She started it back up again when she got a new partner and I thought absolutely cannot go through this again and told her I wasn't interested and I am sure her new partner wouldn't want this information shared either! She couldn't change so ive backed away completely from the friendship I hated that I knew some deeply personal things about this guy even when I was putting my fingers in my ears!!

She will never stop. Its pointless confronting her, hard as it is because 3dc id walk away

You are right to say she will never stop . Best I stop this before it's too late and I regret it

She's an oversharer and she's not going to stop.

Is that a deal breaker for you or not?

I couldn't deal myself. I don't even like being the recipient and will call TMI.
