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.

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

#13 My Ex’s Character Is On Full Display After We Broke Up Almost 3 Months Ago
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.
#14 My Ex Texted Me This On My Way Home From Work Yesterday
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.
