Funny Text....

Elizamen's picture

As some of you know, I divorced my exH in September after 4 years of gas lighting, disrespect, and dishonesty. He'll say it was because I didn't like his kids but the problem was him not them. At any rate, he keeps texting asking why I don't want to be friends with him etc. I don't respond. One time, I explained what our marriage was like for me and he is incapable of understanding so I just ignore it.

Yesterday, I received a text that said, "One day, when your anger dissipates, you will miss what we had." I wanted to ask which part was that, the disrespect, the gas lighting? But I just laughed and carried on enjoying my life.

He's a narcissist. Keep ignoring him. Going no contact is the only way to deal with a narc.

Thank you. I will be sure to check that one out.
I made the mistake once of responding to my ex via email. It was UGLY. It went from, "I want to see the kids" to "You are an f'ing whore and I'm going to find you" in about 2 email exchanges. I immediately blocked him from any and all communication. I don't know what I was thinking but this scared me enough to black hole the bastard.

why not simply change your number or block his ass......

he wants what he can't have, he probably can't find another woman he can manipulate or he's to lazy to look for one...

It's probably his kids mad at him because they can't go to the bathroom at your house anymore. He never appreciated ANYTHING you did for him and his. I'm so glad you divorced him

oh that is rich. i'm glad you're getting amusement out of this. dont let it go too long, tho', you may be tempted one day to respond back if he catches you in the right mood (ie, maybe on a girls night out or something). you may want to just go ahead and block him sooner rather than later.

That is not going to happen. I have a very full life - full of friends and happiness and fun. I have a job I love, a beautiful home that gives me peace. I would be INSANE to ever go down that path again. There is no mood dark enough to ever draw me into that life again.

Why have you not BLOCKED him?? If the divorce is final and there is nothing left to accomplish, I honestly do not understand why YOU allow him to continue with his BS. Block the c0ck.

Honestly, I had an experience with stalking earlier in my life and I want to be aware if the tone of the texts change. A couple of weeks ago, he texted me on a Thursday, e-mailed on a Friday night, then 2 more e-mails on Saturday morning, a phone call Sunday morning and a text on Sunday night asking if I got his e-mails. (1 of the e-mails was a poem about how wonderful I am and concluded with how important his kids are to him - truly bizarre.) I have not responded to any of it but I want to know if the tone changes to something I need to be aware of. I changed the settings on my phone so he can't tell if I received or read his texts. He has no way of knowing if he is blocked or not and I do not respond to any of it.

I can recall those days when XH was still trying to get me to remember the "good times" yea right...
On a rare occasion he would text me about something trying to spark those feelings....I was numb to it.
Then about 4 years after the divorce he finally fessed up that he totally understood why I left him.
He actually got it. He apologized for how he was and said he can see what I was trying to tell him all that time.
It didn't change anything for me, I always knew I was right to leave him. But I will admit it was a bit nice to
hear him actually admit his wrong doings instead of trying to make me feel like I was just imagining all those years of hell.

I am with the others...do not respond. You have no reason to and just leave him to wonder.
I do get the idea of keeping an eye out to see if his tone changes. I was stalked for four years by a guy I dated two months.
I kept his phone number in my phone just in case he text or called so I knew not to answer it.
