She texts "my ex just texted me"

She sent it to see what you'd do. She's gauging your reaction. She'd just keep it a secret otherwise.

Get all pissy/jealous/demanding/protective? Frame broken, shit test failed, beta is showing.

Ignore her? Decent option. Didn't get a rise out of you, kept frame. However, also sends the message that it hit you hard enough to change the way you interact with her. It had some affect.

Flip it into a joke? Laugh it off? Ignore it? No question there, it didn't affect you.

Ex: "Was it a dick pic?"

"so"?

"are you trying to set up a 3-way?"

"What's he up to? Can you get some riccotta? I want ziti for dinner."

Who is this?

"Why are you telling me your problems?"

"Tell him I say 'hi'...."

"Is he finally coming out of the closet?"

Ignore it.

the only reason she told you is to see if youll get jealous. either dont respond at all, or make a joke about it. whatever you do, dont insinuate that it bothers you at all. it shouldnt anyway

Personally I wouldn't even respond, but that's just me.

Edit: My honest advice would be to ignore it, ignore her for a day or so and then just start a conversation about something totally irrelevant to her ex.

Shit test. My go-to for these are something akin to:

Is she hot? You were you setting up a threesome for my birthday, weren't you! Oh you dirty little...

It completely flips it around and puts the emphasis on the ex being a girl, which you can then pivot to making it about threesomes. Play around with the verbage so the message conveys your personality. The underlying sentiment should remain intact so you pass the shit test.

'and?'

"Tell him he can't take you out. He has to date me instead."

The best r4esponse is to go ghost immdiately.

IF she cells you on it, tell her that communicating with her ex is a dealbreaker, because it is soft-core cheating

Let her EARN back her position (as gf) with blow jobs.

In other words, she shit tests you.... flip the script.
