My ex telling me I "have" to talk to him. I only reply if its about our son.

boiledgatorade_ · 2020-12-29T15:28:49+00:00

Omg. All the “big” words. Sounds like my ex!

LevelTurbulent · 2020-12-29T15:31:49+00:00

He's trying really hard to sound intelligent but not quite getting there. LOL

It's like someone learning English and trying to sound like a native speaker. They may sound pretty good but there's going to be little mistakes. They won't quite pass to people who actually are what they are pretending to be.

oceanstains · 2020-12-29T15:45:46+00:00

Nice word salad asshole

Summerisle7 · 2020-12-29T15:35:48+00:00

You don't have to talk to your ex.

Sometimes, you don't even have to talk to your ex if it's even about your son!

Lol!

Mcccy · 2020-12-29T16:02:46+00:00

Awe he found a dictionary! Hope he finds the door next

Imaginary_Bed_2572 · 2020-12-29T15:36:11+00:00

Wow, what does he even want? It's not clear to me😂

justnoanony · 2020-12-29T15:36:17+00:00

He sounds like Joey from Friends using a thesaurus.

MadamLeFay · 2020-12-29T15:56:10+00:00

I see someone got a dictionary for christmas...

Erinelda · 2020-12-29T15:59:01+00:00

I think only narcissists are capable of this level of pompousness paired with lack of self-awareness. The whole paragraph has a purpose of unloading some of his flaws onto you while putting you down so he can feeling better about himself. He thinks that if he is going to call you stupid that he has to flex a large vocabulary. Also you are not being controlled so he is frustrated and lashing out. Nothing about that was about you.

Everything they call you is them talking to themselves:
-You are stupid (I feel stupid)
-You are controlling (I am controlling)
-You are satanic (I am evil)

Once you see that it's easier to deal with.

2020-12-29T15:56:07+00:00

No wonder he is an ex. The way he talks to you is unbelievable.

FortisEtLiber_ated · 2020-12-29T15:57:41+00:00

This sounds like my ex, too!! Using the Notepad app to carefully craft & send paragraphs of verbal diarrhea with the aid of a thesaurus 🤮🤮

LockLimePie · 2020-12-29T17:05:07+00:00

You can tell he's stupid because he's so obsessed with negging you over your 'mental capacity' lmao. The stench of a bumbling fool who's desperate to convince a woman that he's smart is OVERWHELMING

Diamond_fairy · 2020-12-29T15:34:40+00:00

This is some abusive shit to tell to the mother of his son, he seems to be extremely mad, which wouldn't happen if he really put himself on that much of an higher level, and he's totally trying to lower your self esteem and control your emotions.

No answer is the best approach, as he's looking for any type of reaction and attention from you, and receiving none will make him tired and stop at some point.

I hope that you're safe and I'm sorry that you've to deal with this.

thinktwiceorelse · 2020-12-29T15:54:59+00:00

OP I'm so so sorry you have to deal with this. I'd explode. So evil.

localgirlcult · 2020-12-29T18:24:59+00:00

I WISH I could find that twitter post of the woman who wrote that when men like this start arguing with women for no reason and aren't right. They really have nowhere to go with their non points and suddenly try to sound smart and use as many big words that sound out of place. It is SO funny and it's just another one of those "Geez, they really are all the same" moments.

They're like "Ah yEs, yoUR seVerE LacK oF inteLLigeNce diSturBs mY wAking daYs and eXaspeRates mE. BUt I dO nOt eXpEcT tHAt yOu wOuLd hAve any inSiGHt in tHis maTter.

agent00- · 2020-12-29T15:28:58+00:00

What a piece of shit.

He’s angry that he can’t control you so he’s trying to break down your self-esteem. I would laugh and ignore.

just-peepin-at-u · 2020-12-29T17:08:32+00:00

I love when he put that laughing emoji at the end. I can guarantee he isn’t laughing.

I hope he chokes on the thesaurus he needed to write this message.

_tinyimp · 2020-12-29T16:26:53+00:00

Big brain 🤪

Fatt3stAveng3r · 2020-12-29T17:33:07+00:00

Did he swallow a thesaurus or

Wildestrose1988 · 2020-12-29T16:58:44+00:00

LOL he talks like my ex-husband

PossibleCook · 2020-12-29T17:17:09+00:00

Someone broke out the thesaurus

Long tradition of women having lives = satanic. They can’t even articulate why it bothers them. It is just of the devil!!!

petitpoupee · 2020-12-29T18:37:26+00:00

I have a feeling that he wrote this with tears in his eyes. Especially since it was almost 2 am when he wrote her this lmao

Equal-Ear2312 · 2020-12-29T18:21:28+00:00

I got the vibe "ugly" from the person who wrote that. Just... Ugly. Constantly putting sometime else down, insult after insult... As if they are a better person! They just showed right through this fragment that they are worse than the worst.

UnstrirringCoffee · 2020-12-29T17:53:17+00:00

TL;DR: "So you don't agree with me? Well, I'll just call you stupid then. That'll teach ye."

Ranger6473 · 2020-12-29T18:27:37+00:00

Sounds like my ex husband. They never learn do they.

Wchijafm · 2020-12-29T18:44:10+00:00

This is iamverysmart material. How can someone write that and read it back to themself and think that it is well written. It's like the paragraph mugged a thesaurus.

gingerwabisabi · 2020-12-29T19:48:44+00:00

People who equate education with intelligence are ALWAYS dumb - intelligence is an inborn thing, education increases over a lifetime. I'm sorry you have to deal with him in any form.

Enola_gay_ · 2020-12-29T20:18:24+00:00

Gurl you’re a ✨satanic experience✨

2020-12-29T18:14:30+00:00

Be gone pest.

FrequentPoetry · 2020-12-29T20:28:21+00:00

english aint my 1st language but if he stated that its a FACT that you can comprehend what hes tryina say then it shouldnt be inconceivable bc its a FACT

and the period before although is wrong bc although is connecting two sentences so it should be , not . ??

OP just say "k"

I love it when men get angry and start talking like philosophers.

OH NOW I’M MAD SO THE BIG BRAIN WORDS COME OUT

Reading this gave me migraine.

Half_Halt · 2020-12-30T01:43:36+00:00

Did you somehow marry my ex without me realizing he got remarried? Omg, does this ever sound like something he'd say.

frogchickenhorse · 2020-12-30T01:48:59+00:00

Reminds me of the way dad used to speak to us. Charming.

berned-out · 2020-12-30T03:53:59+00:00

Okay so if it's truly one-sided, then this is very abusive. Save it all and file a protective order barring communications that are not about your children. Depending on your state, you also may be able to have the state be the intermediary for communications regarding your kids.

Nobody has the right to just hammer you like this. I hope it is one-sided then you do have a claim here.

A single text from the middle of the night is not the whole story, just saying. Save it all to submit with the order request. It will carry weight if submitted unedited.
