Life is full of temptations. But when we know there will be negative consequences, we can learn to resist. Eating that entire cake in one sitting will inevitably lead to a tummy ache, and staying up until 3am will leave you feeling drained tomorrow. And if you send your ex an embarrassing message, it just might end up online.
Bored Panda has scoured the internet to find screenshots of the cringiest and most bizarre messages people have received from their former partners, so we've gathered our favorites down below. Enjoy scrolling through and feeling thankful that you weren’t a part of these interactions, and keep reading to find conversations with Master Certified Relationship Coach, Amie Leadingham, and Dating and Relationship Coach Rachel New!

Cheating Ex Reached Out
We were together for 8 years (lived together for 7). He had a girl pen pal for 12 years (they had a very inappropriate Snapchat relationship that he and I constantly fought about), and he met up with her behind my back, cheated on me, and then left me for her. Before meeting her, he swore to me up and down that I was the one even though he’d get drunk and ask her for inappropriate pictures constantly. I moved out on August 2nd and we haven't spoken in person since. The audacity of this man.

So I messaged him and said what's up, and this guy started going on about how I was the love of his life and so on. He had a girlfriend when I messaged him but he promptly broke up with her. I never asked for that. I never gave him any reason to think there was hope for us. It had been 30 years since I last spoke to him. It was weird and gross.

A Text With My Ex Wife
Today marks the 3rd anniversary of my little brother's passing and I let my daughter spend time with my parents instead of going to school.
Who's the crazy ex in this situation? I don't know if I understand this right but I guess the ex wife (in grey text) got a call from school asking her why her daughter didn't come in that day. I don't think her reaction is wrong. Plus, she was probably worried. OP/blue text forgot to contact the school... Plus, if I understand it correctly, it's the child's uncle who died 3 years ago. I'm not saying she didn't like him or doesn't miss him, but it seems to me they pulled the kid out of school for one day for something that is probably more important for OP and his parents. The daughter really could have participated in something after school I think. To me this one doesn't fit this post.
