WWYD? Ex been in touch…

Simple one - would you tell your ex’s new partner (don’t know them personally) that the ex had been back in touch asking for a one off FWB situation? I said absolutely not btw- I am not interested in other people’s partners.
Do I leave alone? Or do I tell her? I have screenshots.

Hmmm I probably would just send a screen shot and a short 'you should probably be aware of this' but that's because I'm a petty arse and I don't like seeing people get away with shitty behaviour but that's just me!

Yes I’d tell her, she deserves to know. If my DH was messaging his ex I’d want to know about it

As someone who was cheated on, I'd want to know.

Send her screenshots....

Send her screenshots that show the dates and his phone number (not just name), even if she's a new girlfriend she'll need to know that she'll need regular STD tests if she chooses to keep dating the man.

5 months. Ended by him as he moved 2 hours away. Couldn’t be bothered with long distance.

Hmmm , I’m not quite sure .
Personally I hate getting involved in drama , goes without saying I think cheating is shit behaviour too though .
I suppose you will save her heart ache in the future if she is shown what he is like now , she can’t be with him that long , so I suppose it is in her best interests ..
Other side of it though , maybe they’re not exclusive?
