Lady Makes Absurd Demand Of Ex Over Text, People Just Can’t Believe What A Childish Brat They Are
I know a few people who are on perfectly good terms with their exes, while some are still friends with them. Honestly, I find it quite surprising because I prefer to stay as far away from both my past boyfriends as possible because of how “charming” they are.
Well, we all have that obnoxious ex that we could do without, just like Reddit user duckamidstgeese, who suddenly received an “ex text” that totally annoyed her. When she vented online, netizens assured her that she is not overreacting, considering how immature the text is. Read on to see what it said!
More info: Reddit

The entitled ex texted her not to attend the event as they won’t be comfortable being in the same space as her

The poster is shocked by their audacity to make such an absurd demand and straight-out refused to change her plan
In today’s extra dramatic story, we get a clear window into the original poster’s (OP) ex and how high and mighty they acted. So the thing is, they found out that they were going to a musical on the same date and time as OP. Upon this realization, they had the audacity to text her that she shouldn’t attend it.
Absurd, right? Apparently, their reasoning was that they had already taken a leave and would feel uncomfortable being in the same space as OP. Yes, you read that right! Of course, the poster refused to cancel her plans over this atrocious demand. She thinks that she shouldn’t have to cancel what she planned well in advance just because her ex can’t bear to be “in the same space”.
The poster also informs us that her ex broke up with her out of the blue, and OP has been nothing but nice to them. It’s this exact reason that she just can’t understand why they feel “uncomfortable” being in the same space. She’s not the only one, for Redditors also felt the same thing, and some even said that it sounded quite fishy.
Their theory is that since the ex ended a 2-year relationship and now doesn’t want to be in the same space, it looks like they’re hiding something. In fact, some even went so far as to claim that the ex was probably cheating on her and couldn’t really face her now. Well, that sounds absolutely wild, doesn’t it? Alas, only that person will ever know the true reason.

However, one thing that folks agreed upon is that the ex is entitled, immature, and even narcissistic. I assure you that there is truth to what the netizens said. According to Verywell Mind, an entitled person has a self-absorbed view of the world and little regard or empathy for their impact on others. Don’t you think the ex fits that exact definition?
Moreover, it has also been observed that an extreme sense of entitlement can indeed lead to narcissistic personality disorder. If that’s not enough, clinical psychologist Susan Heitler believes that budding narcissism is a clear sign of emotional childishness. Well, this just goes on to show that all the conclusions that Redditors drew about the ex are accurate.
Who knows, maybe the other theories that they commented on could also be true. Either way, they all assured OP that she was not overreacting in the least. Honestly, she has a right to go wherever she wants. If the ex can’t stand to be in the same space, then they should change their date instead of making such an absurd demand.
The poster also said that she is going to go there with another girl, and does not care about her ex’s reaction to that at all. Folks backed her up that she should definitely do that, and even we think so too. It would be a delight to see the other person’s face if she does come and see OP with someone else. Don’t you agree? Well, let us know your thoughts in the comments!
Netizens scoffed at her immature ex, and some even mentioned that they sound like a narcissist

This is right up there with the Bridezilla that was demanding nobody she knew get married in her "wedding year". They're only entitled if you let them, folks. No is a sentance.

Something similar happened to a friend of mine. He and his then girlfriend went to see a local production. While there, they ran into his ex and her current bf (now husband). Their relationship ended amicably and we all still occasionally would grab dinner or drinks together. Friend's gf flipped her shìt when they said "Hi" to each other in passing, even though they were seated in different parts of the theatre. I guess she drove, because I got a call close to midnight from my friend asking if I could come pick him up because gf was a total psycho and stranded him there. This was not the first major red flag this woman had displayed, but it was the last one. She had a habit of accusing him of wanting to sleep with any woman who crossed his path and didn't want him to have any female friends (including his ex and me). I went and got my friend and told him that he needed to dump the psycho, like, last week. Fortunately, he dumped her the next day.

I’ll admit OP’s response was much more mature than mine would have been. I simply would have sent a bunch of laughing emojis and a link for a local therapist.

It gives me vibes like the relationships with the ex and new partner might overlap, or something why the new partner can't see the old one (like making up wild stories about the ex, and the new partner wanting to give a piece of mind on their behalf). Because why on earth would you be uncomfortable enough that you can't sit in the same theatre when there isn't any drama?

The best response to something as ridiculous as that would be to not answer, and block them.
