Now That One Hurt
This text exchange is bound to leave you cringed out. This guy thought his late 4 am text would be received well. What did he expect from his ex? A wholesome conversation about life? Maybe a few flirty and sexy messages would be sent back and forth. Well, he couldn't be more wrong. It's clear he hasn't moved on, but his ex's reply insinuates she's been completely done. Her reply was so good it will be forever ingrained in his mind.
At first, she was the one dreading a text from her ex-boyfriend, but after her reply, he'll probably dread the day he ever runs into her again.
Time to Block That Number
How many times has your ex gone completely radio silent, haven't heard from them in months, and then suddenly they pop back up, expecting to be in your life like nothing changed? Well, this case might be a little different. This ex-boyfriend may have been reaching out, hoping his ex would come and hang out, but it wasn't just any ordinary day. It was celebratory because he got out of jail!
How many people can say they were the first ones their ex texted when they were released from jail? How romantic, what a modern-day love story.
The Audacity
If there's any ex you'd never want to hear from again, it'd be this guy. He reached out just to make his ex-girlfriend feel bad about dating someone new. But he must've forgotten why they broke up in the first place. However, this girl ad no problem telling him how it is. What's more savage, the reason they broke up or the comeback she replied to his bizarre text message?
Apparently, cheating on someone with no other than their best friend is okay because they never went on a date. This guy needs to have his phone locked before sending another text.
Sorry Too Busy, Can't Come to the Phone
Here goes another dreaded ex, hoping to sneak their way back into their ex-lover's life. But it's not as easy as you think! This girl had the best comeback ever when her ex asked if she was busy, insinuating he wanted to see her. Well, she is today, tomorrow, and for the rest of her life! The answer he got, unfortunately, was probably not what he was looking for, but you must admit, it's pretty funny.
Though this person's response to their ex was pretty savage, who can blame them? Their relationship failed for a reason, so time to move on!
Talk About Sending Mixed Signals
In the famous words sung by Katy Perry, "'Cause you're hot, then you're cold. You're yes, then you're no. You're in, then you're out." This song probably resonates deeply for this guy. He sent a text demanding that his ex never speaks to him again. Then, suddenly almost a year later has the audacity to text and ask them out. If that's not the most confusing situation full of mixed signals, then what is?
This is unfair for the person on the receiving end because their emotions are constantly toyed with. They better get to blocking that number before the next confusing message comes in.
If You Want to Brighten up Their Day, Stay Far Away
When you have an annoying ex who just won't stop texting you, it's time to think of creative ways to get rid of them. Before their ex could reach out again, this person sent them a hilarious text that really drilled the message home. Hopefully, it's more apparent than ever before that this person is not interested in having their pesky ex still in their life! So keep like the sun and stay far away.
Now that's definitely one way to ensure your ex never texts you again!
Talk About Awkward
Well, that's awkward. This person apparently thought their ex would deem them more important and therefore have their number saved. But that was not the case. So when they reached out because they missed their ex, they probably weren't expecting the response they got. Hey, maybe it wasn't too personal, and they genuinely forgot to save their number. Either way, that's got to hurt—nothing like sending a nice GIF to ease the tension.
These two will probably be thinking about this interaction for a while. And now it's immortalized for everyone on the internet to see; so sweet.
They Say the Truth Will Set You Free, or Make Your Ex Block You
Nothing is worse than checking your phone only to see the name of a dreaded ex-boyfriend pop up on your screen. So when this girl received a mysterious message about her ex needing to come clean about something, she had to know what happened. He confessed that whenever he cooked for her, he lied and really ordered food from a restaurant. Her response was pretty cold-hearted yet absolutely perfect. Bye, bye loser.
This guy's confessional only solidified for this girl why she dumped him in the first place! Now that's an ex you'll never want to hear from again.
Thank You, Next
Sometimes it's hard to believe people can walk away from the same situation with such completely different and contradictory interpretations. How could one person think they're on speaking terms with an ex while the ex never wants to talk to them again? Though these texts don't reveal what happened behind the scenes, this meme of Tom Cruise maniacally laughing is enough to understand this ex will never be meeting up for that casual coffee.
Have an annoying ex that won't stop texting you or get the picture that you're just not that into them anymore? Perfect, send them a funny meme, and hopefully, they'll never text you again!
Clearly an Ex's House Also Doubles as a Hotel
When an ex suddenly reaches out, it's normal to expect there's some ulterior motive. However, this person could've never guessed the real reason their ex reached out to them. First, they tested the waters, seeing if maybe there was a chance these two former lovers could spend a night together. But in a weird twist of events, the truth came out. This guy just needed a place to crash for the night.
Now that's one savage text to send. He could've gone along with the lie, but clearly, he felt terrible and had to come clean. At least he knows how messed up that is.
Happy Birthday to Your Soon-To-Be Ex-Girlfriend
Now, this is just sad. This guy is entirely in a relationship, and on his girlfriend's birthday, he sneaks off to text his ex. If only someone had taken his phone away before he opened his messages. What was he thinking? If anything, this is only a comforting sign that this girl made the right move by dumping him. How can you trust someone who does this? That is just some sneaky savagery.
Well, newsflash buddy, you're about to add another ex-girlfriend to your roster. Happy birthday to her!
In Their Defense, Sonicare Toothbrushes Are Really Expensive
Breakups can leave people upset, and sometimes they feel like they never were able to get some really important things off their chest. In this case, an ex reached out, insisting he needed to talk but got a savage response back. His ex didn't care and wasn't interested in speaking ever again. However, when the truth was revealed about why he reached out in the first place, it was hilariously wrong in so many ways.
Can you believe he really only reached out in hopes of getting back a toothbrush he left at his ex-girlfriend's house? This is definitely a pair of exes that should never speak again.
Well That Was a Fast-Paced Switch up
Sometimes people just don't want to believe a situation for what it really is. So their entire demeanor changed when this ex reached out, expressing their longing to reconnect and make up, and received no reply. But how can it do that so fast? How can one switch up so quickly? Either way, their exes meme response was absolutely gold. Maybe now the message is obvious, no more texting your exes!
Can you believe this guy actually dared to initiate a conversation, acting like he missed her, and then rudely went back on his word immediately after?
Please Take the Hint
When you're dating and really like someone, it's almost as if you can never get enough time together. You want to talk all the time and see each other every day! But if you don't like someone, a single minute with them can be horrible. So when it happens to be an ex that won't leave you alone, it's just annoying and bizarre! This person politely put their ex in their place with the best response ever, so will they finally take the hint?
Seriously someone needs to take this person's phone away! If their ex already blocked them on two different numbers and Instagram accounts, how much more can they do?
Nothing Good Happens After 2am
Breakups are always devastating; even if you knew that person wasn't right for you, there's bound to be some leftover sadness or resentment. So when this girl got a late-night text from her ex-boyfriend, naturally, her new boyfriend got a bit protective and decided to take over. Why on earth would an ex be texting at 2 am anyway? Well, as soon as he explained why, they probably regretted ever asking.
At that moment, she never wished more for her ex-boyfriend to just be texting for a late-night booty call. Instead, he broke some pretty heavy and unfortunate news.
The Most Generous Ex We've Ever Heard of
This is the most savage yet helpful ex-lover you could ever have. When this person texted their ex, expressing their regrets and how much they still have hope in the future to speak again, they were quickly shot down. The ex responded bluntly that they were not interested and suggested they try a dating app. But what exactly makes this response so iconic? The ex offered to pay for their subscription so the person could finally get over them.
This is hilarious, sort of sad, and iconic all in one. These two will probably never forget this conversation or relationship for the rest of their days.
Put a Sock in It
When your ex really needs an excuse to meet up, they'll think of anything. For this guy, a single sock was left behind by his ex, and it was enough to reach out and ask to see them. But this wasn't a good enough excuse, and his ex-lover basically told him to lose the sock and lose their number. What a hilarious response; it looks like there's no room for reconciliation here.
Hopefully, by now, they got the hint just to throw the sock away and probably never text their ex again. It doesn't take a genius to read these social cues.
Eminem Couldn't Have Said It Better
This has to be one of the most clever responses to an ex-lover ever. Clearly, this ex wasn't the most trustworthy and probably was caught in a few white lies throughout their relationship. So when they received this "miss you" text, they were rightfully suspicious. What's the best way to deal with that? Send them the hit song "Love the Way You Lie" by Eminem and Rihanna; that'll really send the message.
No fighting back and forth over text, no ignoring or ghosting, just a perfectly crafted response. Hopefully, they at least got a laugh out of it.
And They Say Romance Is Dead
Before judging this text, think about it for a second. Yes, it's always annoying when an ex keeps calling and texting and won't accept that you're broken up. But this specific message that a girl received from her ex-boyfriend might be the perfect way to win someone over. He didn't beg for her time or say anything rude. He simply suggested she join him on a romantic night of eating mozzarella sticks.
Now can you really ask for anything more? People are dying to know what she responded, but while the mystery remains up in the air, good luck to the mozzarella man.
Read Between the Lines, Dude
Dating is hard to deal with, and exes who never go away are even more problematic. This guy thought he was really slick when he texted his ex, asking her to make out; how cringe is that? Absolutely no respect. When he didn't get an answer, he desperately texted again. So what's the perfect way to respond to this? With absolutely nothing. Another example that shows no response can sometimes be the best response.
Their Marriage Seems to Be Going Really Well
There's always that one that got away. You know the ex-partner you can't stop thinking about? This guy thought it was a good idea to reach out and see what his ex was up to when he saw she was visiting his town. The only catch? He's happily married, or so everyone thought so. It's probably not a good look for you to be texting an ex while your wife is at home.
His ex really put him in his place with her clever comeback, essentially telling him if you're married, there's no way she's ever seeing him. It must be a really healthy marriage
Hello From the Other Side
Sometimes people just can't take a hint or read social cues. In this case, it's pretty evident this ex-boyfriend is in denial. How many times do you have to send a text to get the picture that she's just not that into you? Either that, or he's doing it on purpose to be annoying. Who knows? Either way, the only person that gets a pass to say hello that many times is Adele if she's singing her song "Hello."
Surely if he just sends one more text that says hello, his ex-girlfriend will suddenly realize she's in love again and will take him back. That's how those things work, right?
It's Written in the Stars
Many people rely on the stars and the moon to guide them in their lives, explain the unexplainable, and give them answers to their most pressing questions about love. So when this ex thought they could use astrology to windle themselves back into their ex-partner's life, they were quickly shot down. And what better way to shut down your ex, who keeps trying to make a comeback into your life?
Well, with a clever comeback of your own, of course! Based on the star's alignment and the moon's phase, it looks like you're not getting back together.
When Your Vision Is a Little Blurred
Unsolicited advice is never fun, and it's even worse when it comes from an ex. This person really thought it was a good idea to reach out to their ex just to give them an opinion about what they should be doing for their health. Super weird and uncalled for, but don't worry because the reply this person received was great. Considering why they broke up, this person should really delete their ex's number and never reach out again.
His ex's vision may be blurry, but at least she sees clearly when it comes to shutting down her ex.
Don't Cry, Send a Meme
What's the best response to an unwanted text from an annoying ex? Well, of course, just reply with a meme! No need to argue or get deep feelings off your chest. Don't even acknowledge what they texted you; simply ignore it and reply with a funny meme. That will surely send the message, and if they still don't get it, then that's their problem. By looking at this text exchange, the relationship probably ended for good.
This ex thought that all would be forgiven by admitting they made a mistake. Well, they were wrong! You can't help but laugh at how clever the meme reply was.
And They Come Back Like Clockwork
It's not a nice feeling to know that you are someone's rebound, especially if it happens to be your ex coming back to you after their new relationship didn't work out. Some people think that everyone is just waiting around to be picked by them. After this guy sent his ex a message about his failed relationship after her, her response was perfect. She does not care and has no interest in being his rebound!
It's probably best to save the rebounds for a game of basketball rather than a game of people's emotions.
Now Make Like Blockbusters and Disappear
Well, that sure is a hilariously blunt message. Who knew you could get so creative with rejecting an ex? When this ex reached out about wanting to speak to each other, they were given a ray of hope for a split moment. Until they realized that this person offering to meet at a Blockbuster was their way of saying they would never meet again. Just like Blockbuster is extinct, so is their relationship!
You can't even get mad at this type of response; it's so funny and creative that all you can do is hope you're not on the receiving end of it.
Peace Out, Girl Scout
This couple probably had no idea this was how they'd end up, but by the looks of this brutal response, you can only imagine something went terribly wrong in their relationship. But after a breakup, you're not entitled to speaking and settling things anymore, so it's best to believe this response was well warranted. Sometimes exes just don't get the memo, and a savage comeback is the only thing to really get the message across.
This definitely sounds like the wrong person to get on your bad side because they didn't hesitate for a second with that comeback.
There Will Be No Reunion Tour Happening Here
It's nice to be wanted and missed, and even better if it's reciprocated. But for this pair, the feelings are not mutual. This person might've been looking for some comfort here or hoping they were on the same page, but they were wrong. Their "I miss you" text was met with a hilarious yet straightforward response that leaves nothing up to interpretation. The Spice Girls said friendship lasts forever, but in this case, nothing lasts forever.
After that savage of a response, it will probably be a while before this person confesses they miss someone ever again.
A Monthly Reminder Won't Get You a Girlfriend
Many people have a roster of people that they reach out to whenever they're bored or lonely. If one person doesn't answer, they just move on to the next on the list. However, this person was utterly fed up with the monthly texts they received from their ex. If this ex wasn't getting the hint by now that they weren't interested because they never replied, they'd surely get the hint now.
Well, that's undoubtedly a way to end an unwanted invitation quickly. Although this rejection was brutal, it's better that this ex finally stops bugging with all the texts.
If He Wanted To, He Would
While some people might love the idea of a guy always reaching out and wanting to talk, most would be lying if they didn't admit that sometimes it's just plain annoying when exes try to get back into their lives. In this case, this ex is just not taking the hint, and it's pretty sad. They say consistency is key, so at least this guy has that going for him.
You can only wonder how many times this person can send a text before realizing that their ex will never reply!
The Most Thoughtful Gift You Could Give
Have you ever been stressed and wondering what to get a friend for their birthday? Well, here is a pair of ex-lovers who are not on the best terms. One of them thought it would be a good idea to text and ask if their ex wanted anything specific to celebrate another year on this earth. They probably weren't expecting the response they got back, but it was pretty hilarious.
What would it be if you could have one gift from your ex? Well, of course, you'd want all the time back that you wasted on them!
Just Accidentally Called You Over and Over and Over
Good communication is the key to any happy relationship. However, this guy really took this to heart by calling his ex repeatedly. When he finally realized no one would answer his call, he claimed it was an accident. But how can someone accidentally call 9,10, or 12 times? Either his phone is broken, and he should probably get that checked out, or he doesn't understand boundaries. Hopefully, this time around, he'll take the hint.
It looks like this girl will take a trip to her local phone provider to change her number soon because this ex has been stuck in the past.
What a Respectful King
If someone is not responding to your messages, it's better just to take the hint and move on. This guy clearly got the message and even told this girl to take care. What more can you wish for? But what makes this particularly hilarious is that all of his messages were sent within the same two minutes. So even if she was planning on answering, she didn't have a chance.
This girl didn't answer the exact minute he sent his message, and he was already over it. High maintenance much? Either way, this girl probably dodged a bullet with this one.
Group Chats Are Always a Great Idea
How would you feel if your partner decided to break up with you over text? Horrible right? That is definitely something that requires a face-to-face conversation. But to make matters worse, this person added their significant other to a group chat! Then, broke up with them over text for everyone else in the group to witness. Now how can you ever come back from such a humiliating experience? Add this to the list of most dreaded text messages.
This person probably takes the cake for the most savage text ever sent to their partner, or now ex-partner in this case.
The Most Romantic Proposal Ever
If you're a hopeless romantic, then don't lose hope. Romance is still out there; if anyone can prove it, it's this guy. This girl was probably dreaming about the day she got proposed to, what it would look like, and where they would be. Maybe a cute proposal on the beach at sunset or a fancy restaurant. But she could've never imagined that it would be in the form of a bizarre text from a weird ex.
Her ex consistently pestered her and finally sent her a text, practically begging her to marry him. Now that's smooth; definitely, a text that will make her fall in love.
This Text Is Un-Boo-Lievable
Today's modern dating culture is pretty inconsiderate. It can get exhausting with all sorts of different tactics to ignore people and play games. This ex-boyfriend thought he could smoothly slide into his ex's messages, and she would just reply, open arms and all. But after ghosting her for who knows how long, his only inquiry is whether she's married yet. Ouch, that hurts. Luckily she wouldn't let him get away with that so quickly.
Why would he care about her relationship status anyway if she ghosted her? Guess you always want what you can't have!
Well That Was the Nicest Rejection
Usually, when you reach out to an ex, it's awkward and brings back a lot of bad feelings. So this definitely is on the top of the list for the strangest text exchanges ever seen between two former lovers. They're so polite and mature; it's kind of wholesome. At least these two know how to respect each other's boundaries. Though their responses aren't savage like most seen here, it's definitely a top-tier way to reject someone.
So when an unwanted ex comes crawling back, just try wishing them well, and maybe, just maybe, they'll understandably go away and delete your number.
No Regrets Leaving That Relationship
It's not possible to get sleazier than this guy. If there's any ex-boyfriend you'd never want to hear from again, it's definitely him. The audacity he had to text and ask his ex-girlfriend to send him a good picture of herself so he can show off the girls he's had a history with is pretty gross. This girl's response was perfect and classy. She didn't entertain him for a second and deserves better.
If any guy refers to women as "broad," run for the hills, keep running and never look back. Make sure to block his number so he can never text you again.
When Your Ego Is Bigger Than Your Love Life
This guy is in utter denial about the status of his love life. First, he asks this girl to meet, then cancels even though she never replies, and then acknowledges he ghosted her for months because his phone died. This guy really thought he would get lucky, and she would magically want to hang out with him that night. The fact that she didn't respond at all was absolutely iconic.
She handled this perfectly; no response at all was needed for this bizarre string of emotionally immature texts!
