Yes, breakups are hard. But some people seem to have the unique ability to take a bad situation and make it even worse. So, to remind you why exactly the block button was created, we put together a list of rude, embarrassing, and downright unhinged texts from exes.

Sure, you might think that everyone has the right to explain themselves, but there's a difference between closure and not being able to let go. Moving on is not losing—it's growing.

    Lashing Out On My Ex-Wife For Not Buying Our Son The Game He Asked For Christmas

    Text conversation highlighting a misunderstanding about Christmas game purchase, reflecting issues with an ex.

    I (37M) saved up money from tips I've received from my job to get my son a great Christmas gift since I havent gotten him anything for his birthday, only to find out my wife (39F) didn't even bother to go to the store and get it for him. I work a minimum wage job and she lives with his new boyfriend now and has custody over our son. She won't even let me take him out for Christmas dinner since “ I won't even have the money for it “ And only take our son to a McDonald's.

    My Ex’s Character Is On Full Display After We Broke Up Almost 3 Months Ago

    Text conversation with an ex discussing relationship issues and boyfriend material concerns.

    So, I tried to be the nice and help my ex out with her kids broken iPhone. Actually took it to the Apple Store for service. The warranty part was a little much to get through, they came to me at one point and said it may cost me almost $400 to fix. I told my ex that it was out of my budget to fix it. She completely lost it on me and I actually explained to her that we’re no longer together, and I felt it was not my responsibility to financially repair the phone.

    I managed to get the phone fixed under warranty, and later that night my ex doubled down on what she said, and at this point I wonder why I just want to be single.

    My Ex Texted Me This On My Way Home From Work Yesterday

    Text conversation showing conflicts and misunderstandings between exes.

    I got off work at 5, went and got gas, and stopped at the car wash that's on my way home. I work an hour away from my house so the wash is 30 mins from work, 30 mins from my house. My city is so small we don't even have a car wash and the closest city with a car wash just so happens to be the one my ex lives in. As far as I knew, we didn't end on bad terms. about 2 years ago i found out my mom had cancer (ik i said a over a year in the texts, i was so livid i couldn't remember exactly) and i tried to call him and got ghosted on every text/call. Since then i just forgot about him, moved on, started a new relationship that i've been in for about a year and a half now, started a new job, and just have been doing my own thing.

    Ex-Wife Refuses To Get A Job. Literally Getting Paid Back With My Own Money

    Text message discussing child support payment issues with an ex.

    I pay my ex spousal and child support for our two kids. Support is dispersed automatically by the State and is out of my control. Per the agreement, we split expenses such as doctors appointments 60/40. I submitted a receipt for some medical bills. She can’t pay me back for her portion until she receives the spousal and child support. She refuses to work and lives solely on spousal/child support.

    Just mildly infuriating that I’m being paid back with my own money.

    My Ex Asking For N*des After Me Sending Condolences After Grandma Died

    Text conversation highlighting difficult interactions with exes.

    well the title really says it all….we were a horrible couple. super toxic to each other, first live off/on for like 9 years. even tho the relationship was toxic we did manage to end on good terms and stay civil/remain “friends”. anywho i heard from a mutual friend that his grandmother passed away a few months back, and decided to offer condolences since i knew she raised him and how close they were…. this is the reply i got lol. (covered any personal info) (no, i did not send any n*des obviously) we also got into it immediately after this. he is well aware i’ve been in a happy relationship and now have a 6mo old son — we also have lived on different sides of the country for about 5 years. just would reach out with major life updates or things about mutual friends. we had a super complicated relationship and friendship and the last 3-4 years have kept a good distance from each other in general but thought these were funny and outlandish so here ya go.

    TLDR: i heard about exs grandmother passing away few months prior, i send my condolences, he immediately asks for an a** pic.

    We went through this before when we were broken up the past two times. He constantly texted me the whole time we were broken up, telling me everything I did wrong in the relationship and how hurt he was. It’s extremely infuriating and annoying. I blocked him in the past, but he always found a workaround. (I will be pressing charges if he doesn’t leave me alone.)

    Ladies And Gentlemen, My Ex

    Text exchange showing conflict with an ex, highlighting harsh words and unresolved emotions.

    Knew this girl for about three and a half months before she started getting jealous of my relationship with friends and couldn't stop arguing and showing the insecurities she had, so I broke up with her and blocked her on everything but iMessage (she told me she likes to stalk people so trust me it was the right move). You can see here one of the first messages she sent me when we broke up was her location... I thought that was pretty odd but I knew this girl likes to be petty so I ignored it. Then she sent me a message on the 5th and I completely missed it somehow and before I could even read it she deleted it a day after.

    Currently now after almost two months of not being together (we broke up on the 9th of September) she just texted this, turning more into what I feared the most. There's more details to what happened but this is basically the sum of her not getting what she wants out of me and throwing a tantrum over the fact I won't argue with her about it anymore.
