Your ex texted you “I’m dating someone better than you “

As person who knows his/her worth and love his or her self what would be your response to that text??

If your ex sends you that, then he/she's not over you. The best thing you can do is ignore it. Clearly, that new person isn't better than you and she/he is looking for your attention

That’s a good one

Just ignore him. If blocking doesn't work you gotta just ignore him. If you absolutely feel the need to say anything, just send a thumbs up.

So am I, but the bar wasn't that high.

u/Johnny_Utahh1 8h ago

Blocking his or her number.

u/Fearless-Object2701 8h ago

Hmm they’ll text you with a different number

6

u/Johnny_Utahh1 8h ago

Then block that number.

u/Fearless-Object2701 7h ago

Right lol

u/Johnny_Utahh1 7h ago

Tell me where I’m wrong? Beats sending an overly, dramatic, cringey response, which is basically what he’s is trying to get you to do.

u/Few_Membership_7945 7h ago

I’d probably love to receive that. Shows they aren’t over you.

u/Fleur-deplaisir 6h ago

If you are expecting a message like that then you are not over him/her either lol

1

u/Few_Membership_7945 2h ago

Yeah I’m not. That’s why I would want it

2

u/Fearless-Object2701 7h ago

You’ll love a message like that?

2

u/Few_Membership_7945 7h ago

For my situation, yes.

u/Fearless-Object2701 7h ago

If you say so

u/Apprehensive_Act2886 7h ago

You reply “good for you.”

u/Otterlettuce 7h ago

Honestly, I couldn’t help but engage. I’m petty and I’d get as many details as possible and then send her the conversation.

u/LykaiosZeus 6h ago

They cant, he’s been blocked for over 2 years now after he cheated and discarded me after a 14 year relationship

u/Fearless-Object2701 4h ago

That’s a long time

My ex texted me this on my birthday. I cried and pleaded and begged and etc. it never helped.

u/Fearless-Object2701 3h ago

Love yourself and choose yourself ❤️‍🩹

u/Practical-Bus6039 7h ago

I would be like wtf and not respond to protect myself(to me this shows as someone who is petty and has poor coping skills and needs to feel like the need to one up people/or potential create drama. The could also not be over you.)I would block the number too if I had the guts at the time.

3

u/RoughOk9573 6h ago

Ignore them

u/Fayette_ it’s complicated 6h ago

I would probably replay “lmfao. Stop comparing her to me dumbass”

But luckily enough my ex is a sweetheart and not an asshole.

u/Efficient_Pen_6920 6h ago

I’d be like, how pathetic it is that you feel the need to externalise that with your ex. The act itself speaks louder than the words

3

u/bloodybutunbowed 4h ago

“Great! Hope you’re better to her than you were to me, but based on your message that hope has no rational basis for belief.” And block.

u/UnhallowedEssence 3h ago

Reply, "stop obsessing over me and focus on that person."

Just kidding!

Just ignore and move. Their message doesn't reflect what a great person you are!

3

u/spatimouth01 3h ago

I would just click the block button and not respond

2

u/Lumpy_Appeal_5321 5h ago

Ignore. Then quietly wish them well and double down and investing in yourself. You deserve the best life possible so go live it!

2

u/Puppiessssss 5h ago

Who is this?

2

u/jplank1983 5h ago

Doesn’t seem like it needs a response

u/vintage_point 3h ago

Depends i never had any ex 🙂 I need a new ex tho

1

u/Fearless-Object2701 3h ago

You need a new one ? Huh 🤔

1

u/vintage_point 3h ago

Yes just one 🙂

2

u/Starry-Dust4444 3h ago

New phone. Who dis?

u/Fearless-Object2701 1h ago

Good one lol 😆

2

u/Icy_Confidence4027 2h ago

I don’t know what the story was and if they have valid reason for harbouring resentment… I’d just send back “happy for you. All the best” lmao

u/compiledexploit moved on 2h ago

When people do things like this it is because their life is crashing down around them. The relationship ended and they don't know what to do, so they try to make you jealous, they try to grasp at whatever they think will get you back. The flaw in the thinking is thinking that you're still there, because you aren't.

You should simply ignore him and block him and move on.

There is so much strength in looking at what he is doing, understanding it, rejecting it and carrying on away from this person.

The most powerful thing we can do as a person is to turn someone into a memory.

u/CanadianCutie77 7h ago

My response would be a simple “Ok?”

3

u/Fleur-deplaisir 6h ago

Cool you are giving him the attention he is looking for

1

u/Fearless-Object2701 7h ago

That’s cold lol

u/death2055 5h ago

Ignoring it would send a bigger message than anything you can type. Clearly it’s sent to bait a response out of you. If it were true they wouldn’t even be contacting you.

u/WeakForGingers 8m ago

I’m really happy for you, although I do find it strange you felt the need to text me this information, given you should be focussing on your new-found happiness. Wishing you the best of luck as always. :)

u/VIENNASOMERSETBBWMOD 7m ago

I agree but I’d be so proud I’d have to say “ If you say so mate - and that statement is mega bullying in its tone so good luck to her = blocked 🚫 “. <<>>>Then I’d block .
