Why do exes do this shit?

NotLuceBree · 2018-12-31T13:20:37+00:00

Don't dwell on why, just ignore her and enjoy your life.

UmbrellalikeWetness · 2018-12-31T14:11:06+00:00

Oh, I believe her. She DOES miss you. All the shit she did... She's willing to just let bygones be bygones. Because relationships take compromise, right? And she's really taken the time to get in touch with her feelings the last year. You can forgive her, she was just stressed at the time.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

BroJack22 · 2018-12-31T14:25:42+00:00

Step 1. Drink more bourbon. Step 2. "New phone, who dis?"

eduardkoopman · 2018-12-31T13:30:35+00:00

you tried to have me arrested, thrown out of my home, threatened to ruin me and take all my money, fuk you even threatened to kill my pets.

Stuff that even your worse male enemies wouldn't do to you.

It's like your worse enemy trying to ruin your life and destroy you. And then all of sudden confesses that he really likes and want to be best budds/friends. WTF?

Most_Insane_F2P · 2018-12-31T14:06:07+00:00

There is no 'why'!

Only "muh feelings"

"I feel alone now"

SJHammer · 2018-12-31T15:05:40+00:00

She misses you...at this moment....no current guy is making her happy.
Gauging your interest level and every other man she texted. So she can see who responds, and goes with the best option
Uses new years as an excuse to contact you.

Don't reply or say this "Oh, thats sweet of you, thanks, take care." It'll piss her off because you didnt say it back.

MarquisOfHell · 2018-12-31T14:55:55+00:00

deliberate attempt to ruin any fun you might have at new years parties or whatever because you'll be too pissed off and thinking about her now.

Long_Range_Shooter · 2018-12-31T13:33:05+00:00

Two reasons, one she's playing with your emotions, and two she realizes that she fucked up driving you away from her.

RoboMandrake · 2018-12-31T14:52:54+00:00

The most likely answer is two-fold. First, her plans for moving up post-you didn't pan out. Second, she has likely deployed the typical female psychological chameleon move of 'not remembering' any of the vile moves she made during the ex-ing.

I had a similar experience. About 5 years post-ex-ing, she sent an email with an "I miss my friend". Apparently she'd completely erased all knowledge of the underhanded series of falsities she'd spun during the ending process.

TheObelisk · 2018-12-31T14:49:51+00:00

Insanity + Zero accountability. They are essentially depraved children.

Tonyb33 · 2018-12-31T14:46:20+00:00

I think she has just realised that there is only 9 maintenance checks left. Women live in a fantasy world and get very upset when reality comes knocking.

HackrKnownAsFullChan · 2018-12-31T14:03:04+00:00

What? WTF bitch, you tried to have me arrested, thrown out of my home, threatened to ruin me and take all my money, fuk you even threatened to kill my pets. And YOU MISS ME?????!!!!!

She's probably forgotten all about it. Or justified it in her head somehow.

Which bourbon?

Fantoche_Dreemurr · 2018-12-31T14:18:02+00:00

Because for her, everything is short term and she thinks you work the same way. She tried to destroy you because she would have gained from it at that time, now she needs money or some other crap so she contacts you back.

ShogunRonin1 · 2018-12-31T19:05:01+00:00

I am pretty sure from a species perspective, men and women were never really meant to live together. The concept of getting married is a idea rather than a necessity. I do not think womens nervous system is even built for prolonged contact with a suitor.

Women were literally made to be humped and dumped - if you stay too long the problems start.

fear_of_government · 2018-12-31T13:34:03+00:00

In an attempt to answer you, it is because women are the most petty and maybe perhaps she feels like shes doing better in her life and wants to let you know that shes ALL GOOD.

Or, shes realized that she fucked up big time, because shes crazy, and that she actually does miss you.

mongolian_usa · 2018-12-31T13:34:31+00:00

A or the lack of reply from you is all it will take to return the favor. You don't deserve to have to deal with that, and ought to block her. You'll be happier for it, and it will probably drive her bat guano crazy. Call it collateral happiness for you.

groovybooboo · 2018-12-31T14:35:22+00:00

Cuffing season.

KINGGANDER · 2018-12-31T14:28:41+00:00

Thots are crazy? Thots run off feelings? Thots are mentally unstable? Lol idk

mylescool · 2018-12-31T14:55:45+00:00

Ignore that thot.

xiaoxiao12 · 2018-12-31T14:42:26+00:00

Fuckin with ur mind brudda. Block that shit.

InformalCriticism · 2018-12-31T15:37:02+00:00

My problem is I take every opportunity to remind my ex what a piece of shit she is, so she is not confused about our past. The downside to making sure she never forgets what a piece of trash she is, is that she takes me to court about once a year because it hurts her feelings, and daddy government is more than happy to oblige.

Eyes_Of_The_Dragon · 2018-12-31T14:55:05+00:00

She's not happy that you're not pining for her, so she's trying to get you to chase her again.

richbeezy · 2018-12-31T13:50:39+00:00

Imagine if you had a guy friend do all of these nasty thing that happened to OP and then send a text to you a year later.

I would tell my ex friend to meet me in a dimly lit parking lot so I could whoop his ass.

micestorff- · 2018-12-31T15:52:09+00:00

becouse womens are controlled by their emotions AKA: children mentallity.

Kestral · 2018-12-31T16:53:40+00:00

Keep that text. She just gave you the greatest gift of all. If she tries to MeToo you, you can pull this out as evidence.

imthetaxman826 · 2018-12-31T17:32:47+00:00

My ex sister in law did this a few times with my BIL. This, after she had him tossed in jail on a fake DV charge, took 80% of everything and tried to alienate him from the kids. She was/is on evil bitch.

He never answered the texts, paid his child support and is now doing quite well. Gets on great with his kids, who are now adults. She's on welfare and living in section 8 housing after blowing what she stole in a few short years.

howieSix · 2018-12-31T14:41:06+00:00

She overspent on Christmas and needs something.

ApertureBear · 2018-12-31T15:01:22+00:00

Because all those things she did were your fault, duh.

Thewinedup · 2018-12-31T15:36:12+00:00

Ignore her always, she just wants validation and is feeling lonely. Fuck her.

cyborg_type_darkness · 2018-12-31T16:25:59+00:00

She misses doing those bad things to you.

chris9407 · 2018-12-31T16:29:50+00:00

Because life is hard. It's harder when you don't have someone paying all your bills for you. I assume you were doing all this and more for her.

oirectine00 · 2018-12-31T16:38:29+00:00

She misses you now in this immediate moment.

But that will fade and then she will deny that she ever missed you because she doesn't miss you at that exact moment.

Remember the light switch effect.

n0x29a · 2018-12-31T17:04:00+00:00

Your best response is, "stop texting him, we are busy right now playing doctors *winky face*"

lostapwbm · 2018-12-31T17:31:22+00:00

To keep you playing their game, which is for you to give her emotions/drama/attention.

You already know that it's a strange game, and the only winning move is not to play.

abhilash1991 · 2018-12-31T18:45:54+00:00

Money must be tight

gandhioso · 2018-12-31T18:54:37+00:00

Because women are sick in the head.

Schwaggaccino · 2018-12-31T19:15:35+00:00

You should see my phone. My ex of 5 years fell off the planet after we patched up some problems. Her response “I’m busy” for a few months. I keep at it but nothing. Ok. I find a new girl. We start a relationship. As soon as she starts posting pics of us on fb, ex jumps back in.

“I miss you.”

“Call me.”

“Do you still think about me?”

“Remember the good days?”

Barrage of other texts. Zero replies from me. She keeps at it to this day.

ransay3277 · 2018-12-31T18:05:10+00:00

If you haven't deleted it; don't! Keep it on your phone and read it, every time you walk through the gym door. In a few months, you'll be a beast!

BS_MokiMoki34 · 2018-12-31T18:10:33+00:00

She typed wrongly.

She meant to say she 'MISSED' You.

She missed throwing you into jail, charging you, killing your beloved pets etc.

Like 'MISSED' you with a bullet kind of 'miss'.

She must have been trying to ambush you nearby with a sniper rifle. /s

MesaBoogeyMan · 2018-12-31T18:15:45+00:00

Someone realized there wasnt better dick out there and probably should of stopped with the crazy. But the crazy never leaves.

DarborSeals · 2018-12-31T20:31:14+00:00

Women are insane and need male attention more than anything else in life. She's probably looking back on her time with you and realizing it was actually pretty good.

robowriter · 2018-12-31T16:30:10+00:00

They have no agency. Sociopathy.

Sandbagicus · 2018-12-31T16:30:50+00:00

Also, she's probably out of $$.

RedMeatTrinket · 2018-12-31T16:51:12+00:00

She needs money. Don't respond for about a month. Then just respond with "Happy New Year to you, too". Don't acknowledge the rest. That's the best revenge.

TruthSeekingPerson · 2018-12-31T17:04:54+00:00

Narcissistic supply.

TDG0922 · 2018-12-31T18:49:43+00:00

Crazy is gunna crazy my friend.

Delete the text, block her number, and crack on with life.

1st10Amendments · 2018-12-31T19:05:38+00:00

She wants to live rent-free in your mind, get you thinking of her while she enjoys your reliving your pain.

Fuck that bitch!

mgtowmuller777 · 2018-12-31T19:06:50+00:00

Dont let an old flame burn you twice m8!

Robin2Fast2Furious · 2018-12-31T15:17:57+00:00

Block her.

ransay3277 · 2018-12-31T16:22:14+00:00

Don't worry man. Have a sip of your drink and count your blessings. You might still be married to her. In fact... I would celebrate that text.

Sandbagicus · 2018-12-31T16:30:28+00:00

because they're emotional children.

Gracket_Material · 2018-12-31T16:32:41+00:00

Bipolar

Gordon-G · 2018-12-31T16:42:47+00:00

Been through similar situation and all I can say is they’re are selfish/self centered without remorse

binrobinro · 2018-12-31T17:26:03+00:00

Ignore.

geniuscel · 2018-12-31T17:48:17+00:00

simple. they do this shit because this shit works.

cyclops88 · 2018-12-31T17:54:30+00:00

The best revenge is to work hard and show that you can do way better without her. Financial gain is the most perfect way to exhibit sweet, sweet revenge. God bless you. gyow

MichaelSkarn_FBI · 2018-12-31T18:11:59+00:00

If you have to send her checks, send them certified mail.

Ordinarily, I’d say iust block her number, but having that one text may protect you at some point. Either way, don’t reply.

If you do want to have some fun, have a young woman with a pretty voice record your outgoing voicemail. “You’ve reached (your name), he can’t talk now but please leave a message.” It’ll drive her nuts wondering who she is.

Disbursed-operant · 2018-12-31T18:14:14+00:00

It's a ploy for attention, ignore it.

Lavendercrimson12 · 2018-12-31T18:20:13+00:00

Because they have no cohesive world view, and no sense of logic. They often "don't know how to feel" about things, and things "just happen" to them.

Sandra_Dorsett · 2018-12-31T18:42:54+00:00

I used to get this all the time. Now I block my ex's on every social media and their number and friends numbers if they show the first signs of this post breakup. Once were done were done. I have no obligation to you anymore.

casra888 · 2018-12-31T18:59:28+00:00

They are psychopathic.

RoundEarthMatters · 2018-12-31T19:05:30+00:00

“It’s just a prank bro”

treble-n-bass · 2018-12-31T19:26:39+00:00

Fuck that cunt. Ghost her and carry on. Don't give her the power of getting under your skin.

BarelyRunning · 2018-12-31T19:34:18+00:00

People get lonely around the holidays, even crazy people! Ok, especially crazy people.

deathtocontrollers · 2018-12-31T20:04:10+00:00

It's called monkey branching. The monkey(your ex wife) tried to climb higher up on the tree by climbing onto another branch(another man who she perceives as superior to you) but then that branch broke on her(he pumped and dumped her probably)...so now she needs to grab onto the branch she was on previously(you) or risk falling down, down and down... Let her fall.

Trumper04 · 2018-12-31T20:34:15+00:00

The only thing she misses is the stability you bring to her life. She wanted to go out and have her "fun" but is now starting to hit her wall. Keep strong brother.

AFSGT01 · 2018-12-31T20:43:55+00:00

She did this to fuck with you. Don't let it get to you.

easeof29117 · 2018-12-31T21:44:51+00:00

"I miss you (for now), I'll hate you tomorrow, regardless of what you did for me today, and your emotions mean nothing to me so don't take this seriously" wish women would speak the truth.

eltonl · 2018-12-31T21:48:08+00:00

Because they think we are stupid enough to reply, and to be honest, many of us are.

ArchieBunker_IV · 2018-12-31T22:21:18+00:00

Women aren't known for their memory. The cunt probably forgot how she wanted to ruin you or has justified it in her feeble brain.

That and she's probably between men or her current relationship isn't panning out. Women get lonely very easily and feel entitled to company.

If you haven't replied, good. If you feel the need to reply just say happy new year back to her. Don't say a thing about missing her dumb ass.

Do that and move on. Don't dwell on the cunt

SingleManDR · 2019-01-01T05:43:32+00:00

I played the police game too. But she was whipped totally, she kinda knew I was going, but I didn't turn on her and start exposing her bullshit until after I had caught my flight to a different continent. It was epic, she reported me to the wrong police force.

Man that was a weird time in retrospect.

sedstar · 2018-12-31T16:46:18+00:00

dude? its only a woman... what do you want?

BinaryBitz101 · 2018-12-31T18:02:09+00:00

They are scumish

AntiAbleism · 2018-12-31T18:26:32+00:00

Block and ignore them.

CryingHappyMonkey · 2018-12-31T19:28:58+00:00

Best thing you can do is to put her number on silent. Don't block or give her any feedback, just ignore.

Jaylen-Gads · 2018-12-31T19:36:24+00:00

It’s the Narcissist conversation trap don’t fall for it remember all women are narcissistic and are just analyzing your reactions to plan her next move

realChebz · 2018-12-31T19:47:36+00:00

Maybe she's bipolar? Or maybe she's just a typical woman acting on her momentary emotion. Either way ignore her.

9_line07-15 · 2018-12-31T20:05:39+00:00

Lol!! All great advice, I generally don’t block numbers, it gives me great pleasure to know they want something they can’t have. That’s really the only reason. When I get those texts every once in a while it gives me a good laugh. But good on ya brotha, stay strong and keep doing what you’re doing.

ChiefWarBear · 2018-12-31T20:45:20+00:00

Yes! Thanks for that additional definition because it helps as well. It's an issue I've been dealing with for years whether in a relationship or not. I'm still chewing and digesting this. Thank you very much too you both!

bloodthorn1990 · 2018-12-31T21:22:07+00:00

send her a clip from the show Dexter of the trinity killer saying "shut up cunt"

magx01 · 2018-12-31T22:15:53+00:00

She had a few drinks and wants to get laid.

binkerfluid · 2018-12-31T22:49:52+00:00

Dont respond or if you do send something like "new phone who this?" and try to make her think your number is different

Atton_Risk · 2018-12-31T23:01:40+00:00

Because she is a fuck up

AutisticCyborg · 2019-01-01T01:12:31+00:00

Stay strong bro She has probably used all the other cocks and now they don't want her either and she is lonely so because you were the idiot who married her then its back to square one shes a washed up has been now.

boy_named_su · 2019-01-01T03:36:01+00:00

Tyrone stopped calling her

Nathan_P_Charles · 2019-01-01T03:46:04+00:00

Shes fishing to see if her pussy still has u in a trance. Slough it off, or say ur gona go fuck a hooker

SoundCloudster · 2019-01-01T09:54:32+00:00

Mine sent me a “I’m still so sorry I didn’t get to kiss you goodbye when you left pet name I still love you so much, Happy New Year!” to match the one she sent when I got all my shit and got out 6 months ago.

MrMannheim · 2019-01-01T13:19:25+00:00

You see your reaction?

You see the explosion of hate that just happened?

Thats why. She wants you to suffer.

Vegasus88 · 2018-12-31T19:27:11+00:00

It's just a shit test, don't fail us now mai guy!

shkirtland1 · 2018-12-31T19:32:25+00:00

Laugh, keep sipping your drink and enjoy your freedom

TheMuslimMGTOW · 2019-01-01T02:07:14+00:00

Fucking cunts. OP you should block that birch ASAP so she doesn't ruin tender moments again.

DocZTheRockstar · 2019-01-01T02:07:47+00:00

Because they don't know any consequences. They know no boundaries.

ovrload · 2019-01-01T02:09:47+00:00

Just ignore and move on. Best to let out your emotions on here mate. She doesn’t deserve any attention or validation from you.

XxInnerRagexX · 2019-01-01T05:01:58+00:00

She may have invited you over and accused you of rape or something lol

BottleCap-SnackTrap · 2019-01-01T05:31:36+00:00

Because they want to make sure that we don't easily forget them. It makes their pitiful existence worth while.

Older_Miggy · 2019-01-01T05:49:24+00:00

Why do you still have her number???

247spyz4life · 2019-01-01T12:38:37+00:00

I don’t know, I’ve never had a girl try to get back with me. Seems to be a common problem with many others though.

GSstreetfighter · 2019-01-02T10:05:15+00:00

Sometimes, a drunken text is just a drunken text?

GizmoRazaar · 2019-01-02T12:16:36+00:00

Because they hate you. Simple as that. I’ll be dealing with my ex for a year and then some until I graduate. All you need to remember is that it’s them that you get to take pity on.

enderagent890 · 2019-01-01T01:00:49+00:00

It's shit testing. Ignore it and block her, don't even respond

mgotzinger · 2019-01-01T01:04:23+00:00

And if you have no kids with her block her number permanently!
