Resentful People Who Hilariously Prove They Aren’t Friends With Their Exes

Published on 04/21/2020

Let’s face it, most of us have at least one ex that we still have hostile feelings for. The people we’re going to talk about here didn’t even try and hide what they really think about their former partners. They went ahead and flaunted their resentment in the most hilarious ways imaginable.

Quickly Dealt With

When this girl’s ex was very bitter about their breakup and couldn’t let it go, he began comparing her to Taylor Swift for some unknown reason. Although let’s be honest, we would totally take that as a compliment.

However, this girl used this comparison in her favor. When she returned a ring he had given her, she used the lyrics of one of Taylor’s most famous songs to truly get the message across and show him just how over they were. Just shake it off, right?

Love Is Blind

When falling in love, common sense tends to go straight out the window. People’s ability to see clearly also disappears when it comes to the person they’re falling for. Only long after the relationship is over do they see the person for who they actually were. Sometimes, that can be a sober awakening.

Love Is Blind

Love Is Blind

This person is at least recognizing that they can laugh about the failed relationship that they were in. However, they definitely won’t want to be friends with this ex. Honestly, good for them.

Not A Good Idea

It seems that this is common sense to most people. However, there are still those who aren’t aware of it, so we’ll say it again: never get a tattoo of a significant other’s face. It might sound like a great idea when you’re all in love, but it’s a very risky thing to do.

Not A Good Idea

Not A Good Idea

It’s sad, but almost half of all long-term relationships and marriages tend to end in divorce. If that day comes, you’re likely to feel very bitter about having your ex’s face on your body. Not to mention, in your desperation to cover it up, you might end up getting an even worse tattoo…

Resentment Turned Humor

It’s definitely better to laugh at your past mistakes than to cry over them, right? In any case, there’s nothing you can do to change them. When it comes to those exes you still have a grudge towards, we think it’s best to look at things this way. This man clearly adopted that mindset, and it looks like it really is working!

Resentment Turned Humor

Resentment Turned Humor

One year on Halloween, this man dressed up as the scariest thing he knows for a party – his ex-wife. This is a fantastic way to channel all that resentment and anger you might have towards something creative.

Have Fun

One common reason that relationships fall apart is jealousy. It’s understandable since a relationship won’t last all that long without a strong foundation of trust. At any sign of trouble, the relationship could simply fall apart.

Have Fun

Have Fun

One girl on Twitter shared this text conversation she had with an ex. In his defense, perhaps she should have made it clearer that she was referring to the store. All the same, the fact that he immediately was suspicious shows just how bad things were even before the Michael incident.

Glad You’re Not Here

If this person wasn’t sure about how their ex felt about them, this post-card would have made it painfully clear. Just imagine getting this little reminder that your ex is living the life, vacationing in some exotic location while you’re at home doing the same old things. On second thought, there is something suspicious about this.

Glad You're Not Here

Glad You’re Not Here

If this person was really enjoying themselves, then why on earth were they thinking about their ex, let alone going through the trouble to mail a post-card too? It looks to us like someone isn’t over their ex…

Tacos Are Forever

If you say goodbye to someone you’ve shared a life with, all those photos from family vacations, birthdays, and Christmases can become painful reminders of a past you’re trying to move on from. Well, it’s also a shame to throw away so many great pictures, don’t you think?

Tacos Are Forever

Tacos Are Forever

This guy decided to transform all those great pictures from that Mexico vacation he enjoyed so much. He made them more fitting for his current single status in the most creative way. We think he did a great job!

How Ironic

Even in cases where a divorce was a mutual decision, it’s never an enjoyable thing to experience. However, breaking up with someone who has a great sense of humor will definitely help. This guy randomly got a pizza from his ex in honor of the one-year mark since their divorce.

How Ironic

How Ironic

It seems like a very friendly ex. Still, we have no way of knowing if this was done in a truly friendly way or if it was done out of pettiness. Maybe he’s allergic to cheese or something like that?

Powerful Feeling

There is a special kind of satisfaction in knowing that the ex who didn’t think you were good enough is now dating a person who thinks you’re amazing. Very few people are lucky enough to experience such validation, but this Twitter user sure did.

Powerful Feeling

Powerful Feeling

Even though her sense of power comes from a place of pettiness, it makes sense. Feeling a little smug over something like this helps a broken heart, wouldn’t you say? We just hope Roxi’s next triumph will be finding someone who appreciates her humor.

Thank God For Photoshop

This picture originally showed two happy couples. Two brothers: one with his wide and the other with his long-term girlfriend. However, things have changed and both couples have since split up. Instead of throwing this picture away, one of the brothers decided to put his Photoshop skills to good use.

Thank God For Photoshop

Thank God For Photoshop

When you look at the picture on the right, it looks natural, not as if anyone is missing from it. Just a couple of happy brothers spending some time together and who will always have each other’s backs.

A Masterpiece

Lots of people who get dumped end up feeling hurt and unappreciated by their former partners. However, it’s important not to allow another person’s decision to reflect on your self-esteem. This guy is clearly aware of that.

A Masterpiece

A Masterpiece

Comparing yourself to a work of art would come across as petty under normal circumstances, but we commend this guy. Yeah Declan, you’re a work of art! While that person doesn’t get you, that doesn’t make you any less valuable.

Garage Sale Comeback

This woman was having a garage sale. Among the clutter in her basement, she came across an expensive pendant she got from an ex she is definitely not fond of. Her way of using it to get back at him was somewhat unusual.

Garage Sale Comeback

Garage Sale Comeback

According to her note, the pendant was worth quite a bit, but she decided to sell it for cheap. We think it would have made much more sense to sell it to the highest bidder but to each their own.

No More Netflix

Using a Netflix account that isn’t yours is the modern equivalent of being cheap. Let’s be honest, it’s not exactly expensive to pay for Netflix. But, making sure your ex can’t use your Netflix account anymore is the ultimate subtle way to show them they’re out of your life for good.

No More Netflix

No More Netflix

It’s a bummer you don’t get to see their face when they have the popcorn bowl in their hand and are ready for movie night, only to see that they’ve been kicked off the account. Just imagine their face!

Funny Memories

It’s almost as if we can hear the resentment in the guy’s voice when he posted this picture with the caption “my favorite picture of my ex-wife”. While yes, it’s a little mean, it’s also pretty hilarious.

Funny Memories

Funny Memories

This picture probably made both of them laugh in the past since it really is perfectly timed. Obviously, we hope she wasn’t injured or anything. While these two might not be on great terms anymore, at least they’re making the most of it.

Didn’t See That Coming

We aren’t sure whether to laugh or cry about this one. The young woman who posted this picture said she had broken up with her boyfriend. While he was packing up his stuff, she fell asleep. When she woke up, he was gone – and he had taken the toilet with him.

Didn't See That Coming

Didn’t See That Coming

We understand that sometimes your emotions can get the best of you right after a break-up. However, leaving your ex without a functioning toilet? That’s beyond evil if you ask us.

Rub It In

There are times when people’s resentment of their exes will take over their entire lives. In ways that are most definitely not healthy. For instance, this guy is one of those people, without a doubt.

Rub It In

Rub It In

This guy used pictures of him and his second wife as backgrounds of customized checks only so he could use them to write his ex-wife her alimony checks. We gotta ask, why is this guy not focusing on what he has now? Why did he have to waste time being so fixated on the past?

At Least There’s Cake

This is pretty impressive if you ask us. Plenty of people don’t get homemade cakes from their current partners, let alone their exes. This guy had his ex make him one for his birthday! Sounds like love, no?

At Least There's Cake

At Least There’s Cake

Well, we’re going to ignore the message on top – who needs to focus on such tiny details, anyways? Any girl who spends so many hours baking and decorating a cake for someone cares. No matter what she might say.

Happy As Ever

It’s no secret that different people handle divorce differently. This is especially true when the decision wasn’t mutual in the first place. One person on Reddit posted this picture one year after his divorce. In the caption, he wrote that he’s as happy about that decision today as he was in the picture.

Happy As Ever

Happy As Ever

Good on you, man. However, we have a feeling that your ex-wife doesn’t share the same view as you. Judging by her facial expression, she’s looking forward to signing those papers as much as getting a root canal.

Love Yourself

We’ve all heard those sayings about how you need to love yourself first for all your relationships to work, right? How relationships might come and go but you have yourself forever and all that. Well, this guy took that to a whole new level.

Love Yourself

Love Yourself

He photoshops his face into all the pictures he has with his ex, essentially turning all those memories into hilarious pieces of modern art. While that’s amazing, we gotta say that he shouldn’t forget to also invest time into moving on.

Such A Treat

Such a burn. Most engagement rings are incredibly expensive, but this guy wanted to show his ex-fiance just how little he invested in their previous relationship. Sure, he posted this online for everyone to see, but he most likely did so because he knew she would see it too.

Such A Treat

Such A Treat

To put it in perspective, a meal at Chipotle is about as cheap as it gets when it comes to eating out. And honestly, we have absolutely no idea how on earth this guy found such a cheap engagement ring.

Told You So

We truly hope this guy is okay and doesn’t have some kind of serious medical condition. At the very least, his sense of humor and his need to take verbal jabs at his ex seem to be working just fine.

Told You So

Told You So

One reason that past relationships tend to stay with us is that all those insults get burned into our brains forever. Getting called rude named by someone you love is not an easy thing to forget. Hang in there, buddy.

Savage

From all the creative ways one could mock an ex, this just might be one of the most original we’ve seen yet. Not to mention, savage. Walking around and taking in information at the Natural History Museum, this guy stopped in his tracks just to see this boring sponge.

Savage

Savage

Of course, he wasn’t interested in the item itself. Let’s be honest, who would be? Instead, this person was fascinated by how much this item reminded him of his ex. Naturally, he simply had to share this smug insight with the rest of the world.

The Friend Is Always Right

When it comes to a significant other, if you’re really trying to figure out if they’re good for you, go ahead and just ask your best friend. A real, loyal, and loving friend will always tell you the truth, even when you don’t want to hear it.

The Friend Is Always Right

The Friend Is Always Right

Clearly, Kada had to learn the hard way that her boyfriend was nowhere near a gentleman. However, her friend realized this and told her as much long before. So much so that the cheater had the audacity to blame her for the breakup.

Keep It Simple

We’ve already talked about getting a tattoo of a partner and how it’s never really a good idea. The same goes for names. At least names are typically easier to cover up if things end up going bad. However, this guy decided to go the funny route and not even try to hide the fact that his tattoo used to say “Francesca”.

Keep It Simple

Keep It Simple

Rather than covering it up, he did this. He simply turned “Francesca” into “San Fransisco”. In fact, San Fransisco has never looked less impressive than it does here, and it’s perfect as it is.

Pull A Mariah Carey

There are times when the best way to get over an ex you can’t really avoid is to, quite literally, pretend like they’re air whenever they’re around. If your ex happens to go to the same school as you or the same clubs, just pull a Mariah Carey and you’ll be good to go.

Pull A Mariah Carey

Pull A Mariah Carey

For those who don’t know what that means, a Mariah Carey refers to the time Mariah pretended she had no idea who J.LO is. This happened on several occasions, and no one actually knows why she did this. But, hey, it works!

Enough Said

Ah, the truth does hurt. But let’s be honest, if a relationship ends, you were obviously not right for each other. Maybe you’ve grown apart, maybe you were never compatible in the first place. Either way, breaking up is usually for the best. This short text is concise and to the point. It shows not everyone realizes this.

Enough Said

Enough Said

One person is clearly still in the victim phase in which they feel like the breakup was a personal insult. The other just realized that this person simply wasn’t for them. It’s as easy as that.

Turning To God

Getting text messages in the middle of the night from either a current partner or an ex usually leads to the type of decisions people regret. Not this guy, though. He handled this late-night text like an absolute pro.

Turning To God

Turning To God

Clearly, his ex-girlfriend was looking for attention but this guy knew better and didn’t take the bait. Instead, he told her to go and read the Bible. We hope for her sake that she got the hint and realized that this ex was not interested.

Now A Tree

This is one of the better tattoos we’ve seen so far. It turned out much better than the original if we do say so ourselves. A simple tattoo of a (now) ex-girlfriend’s name has been transformed into a stunning view of mountains, trees, and the moon.

Now A Tree

Now A Tree

Maybe this is an example of healing from a breakup and turning that pain into some kind of art. It’s probably a relief not to get any more questions about Chloe and who she is – especially on dates.

Just Move On

Here’s the thing: as difficult as it is trying not to contact someone who’s left you, your pride and dignity will forever thank you if you succeed and get through those first lonely months without caving. If the person will want to stay friends, they will get in touch with you. It’s more likely that they won’t, though.

Just Move On

Just Move On

This person made it painfully clear to their heartbroken ex that they would only be able to see them when they post pictures on their social media. Ouch. Despite that being harsh, it’s pretty effective.

Somehow They’re Both Creepy

What’s even worse than getting a tattoo of your girlfriend? Having that tattoo come out terrible and then have that relationship end. So, all you’re left with is bad memories and a hideous, creepy tattoo of someone you used to love.

Somehow They're Both Creepy

Somehow They’re Both Creepy

This guy took the chance and turned this tattoo into one that’s much more advanced but somehow just as creepy. Maybe a tattoo of a woman dressed up for the “Day of the dead” perfectly symbolizes the ended relationship.

Millennial Pettiness

Here we have Regina, who came up with an elaborate plan to get back at her ex in a very specific way. She’s kept close track of her ex’s use of her Netflix account. Rather than simply changing the password and shut them out, she decided to wait it out.

Millennial Pettiness

Millennial Pettiness

There’s nothing more frustrating than watching every single episode of your favorite show, waiting for the season finale, only to not find the episode. That’s exactly what this ex has in store oh so very soon…

Still Angry

Lots of people hold onto anger towards their ex for a long time. This guy, however, decided to turn that anger into something more permanent. Maybe a friend should have told him to push off this decision until he had cooled off from the breakup.

Still Angry

Still Angry

Apparently, either this guy didn’t have a friend like that, or he simply ignored that advice. What used to be a tattoo of his ex is now this terrifying devil. What could be worse? You tell us.

Miss Me?

When an ex reaches out after a long time has passed, even all they say is something rude or an attempt to hurt you, they are very much not over you. It’s a clear sign when they do so. So, don’t worry about it.

Miss Me

Miss Me

This girl obviously found it funny that her ex, Joe, tried hurting her feelings by sending her a video of him throwing away a picture of her. We hate to be the ones to tell you this, Joe, but she’s not the one who’s thinking about you after a year…

Not Bothered

Using the “you’ll regret this” card when someone breaks up with you is not a way to show self-respect. It’s always a better idea to take a breakup like an adult and respect the other person’s decision.

Not Bothered

Not Bothered

This guy here tried making his ex feel bad by telling her that she might have just divorced a future actor. She clearly doesn’t care and shut down that argument real fast. Not to be rude, buddy, but the odds of you becoming a famous celebrity aren’t too high…

Taking It Too Far

We all know it hurts to get dumped. However… Turning to illegal actions to get revenge or rub it in your ex’s face to show how angry you are is definitely not the way to go. That could end very, very badly for you.

Taking It Too Far

Taking It Too Far

Not only will this lead to legal consequences that will affect your life forever it’s also a fool-proof way your ex will become a lifelong enemy. It’s a shame, honestly. You don’t have to be best friends with your ex, but this is much worse.

A Bargain

This young woman decided it was high time to remind her ex-boyfriend what he had been missing out on now that the two weren’t together anymore. She sent him a Snapchat showing as much, not expecting his response.

A Bargain

A Bargain

Her snap showed her surrounded by a whole bunch of romantic things she would get on special occasions, including balloons and some pretty flowers. Her ex-boyfriend, however? Unbothered. He just sent back a snap of his wallet, full of cash.

Cool Ride

It’s safe to say that when a couple breaks up, sometimes there is some disagreement about who gets to keep what. His favorite sweatshirt that she used to wear all the time? He can totally have it back.

Cool Ride

Cool Ride

The mixtape she made him? She doesn’t want it back. However, the driver of the BMW wanted to let everyone know that she walked away with it after the split. The license plate lets you know exactly that.

Made A Spectacle Of Themselves

Anyone who wears glasses knows that buying a new pair is not cheap at all. By the time you invest in a pair of designer frames, get all the add-ons, and actually pay for the glasses, you could be dropping a couple of hundred dollars (or more) easily.

Made A Spectacle Of Themselves

Made A Spectacle Of Themselves

The ex-partner was generous enough to pay for their ex- glasses. However, they weren’t gonna let things go without some fun. They decided to get a customized engraving on the inside of the temple saying “LOSER”. Ouch.

Waiting For Mr. Right

At times, the easiest way to get over a rather nasty breakup is by making a  joke about it. The person who created this meme obviously hasn’t forgiven their ex for ending the relationship, but at least they have a good sense of humor about it.

Waiting For Mr. Right

Waiting For Mr. Right

What’s better, they didn’t let the nasty breakup hurt their self-esteem too much either. Instead, they were feeling rather self-assured as you can tell by the funny meme. They’re fully aware that their ex won’t find anyone as good as them.

Moving Along

If your heart has ever been broken by an ex, you probably know just how important it is to move on from it. Why wallow in grief when there are other people out there who are even better matches for you?

Moving Along

Moving Along

What better way can you show the world that you’ve moved on other than announcing to everyone that you’re engaged to someone else? This person decided to rub it in their ex’s face that he bought a ring for someone else. If you ask us, it doesn’t sound like he’s really over it.

Friendship Is Over

When two people begin dating, they’re more than boyfriend and girlfriend. They quickly become their partner’s best friend as well. After all, a good relationship is based on a foundation of common interests and values.

Friendship Is Over

Friendship Is Over

And so, it makes sense that after someone breaks up, they can still be friends, right? Well… No. This person made it very clear that “It’ll be better this way” for both of them if they don’t stay friends with each other.

Can We Talk About It

This person was clearly tired of their ex being so immature, begging them to at least talk to them about what happened between them. Unfortunately, their ex was not having it, as it’s clear by their snarky text.

Can We Talk About It

Can We Talk About It

When asked if they would grow up and talk to them in person, the ex replied that they would talk to them in the parking lot of a Blockbuster store. The problem? Blockbuster doesn’t exist anymore. Well, that’s one way to do it.

The Moon And Stars

This person in the text obviously hasn’t gotten over their ex. Based on the witty reply, the ex is getting real tired of Paige always trying to get back with them. At last, they replied, asking if Paige wanted to be the sun in their life.

The Moon And Stars

The Moon And Stars

The ex was obviously thrilled that they had a chance to get back in their lives and replied excitedly. Only to discover they were being set up for this epic comeback to stay far, far away. While this is painful to watch, it’s a pretty great answer.

Sarah Who?

Sarah used to be the most important person in this guy’s life once upon a time. As a matter of fact, he believed in their relationship so much so that he got her name tattooed across his chest. Unfortunately, the couple ended up splitting up. However, the tattoo stayed.

Sarah Who

Sarah Who

Luckily, a little creativity goes a long way. Fixing his mistake must have been easier than the breakup itself. Instead of the tattoo saying “Sarah”, he made it into the word “Sarahcha” – a play on words for a spicy type of sauce.

Ice Cold

There are seemingly endless reasons why a couple might break up. Maybe they were going in different directions in life. Maybe they realized they didn’t have anything substantial in common and broke up.

Ice Cold

Ice Cold

However, the person who shared this picture on their social media made it clear why they weren’t together. It turns out that their ex had a heart made of stone…which was covered in ice. Yikes. We can only imagine how this ex was during their relationship.

Make Him Pay

When it comes to breaking up with someone, there are plenty of ways one can go about it. A text might be brutal, but at least it’s something that’s done in private. The same goes for a phone call.

Make Him Pay

Make Him Pay

Of course, it could be done face-to-face as well. That might be uncomfortable and awkward. Emily, on the other hand? She decided to let the entire world that things were over between her and Steven. On top of that, she wanted everyone to know why. As a parting gift, she let him know that he helped pay for her public declaration from their joint bank account.

Stole Their Heart And Money

It’s known that a relationship is more than just an emotional investment between two people. It’s also a significant financial investment. The moment a couple gets together and starts combining their incomes, it can quickly lead to resentment building up if one spends more on the relationship than the other.

Stole Their Heart And Money

Stole Their Heart And Money

While finances can be replenished, a broken heart can take a long time to mend. That’s probably the reason someone thought it was necessary to add this to the note that was taped on the vending machine.

Answer The Phone

At times, a breakup can happen over some silly misunderstanding. Maybe someone was sure their partner forgot their birthday only to find out they were in the midst of planning a surprise party for them.

Answer The Phone

Answer The Phone

This woman from New Mexico obviously thought that their breakup was an honest mistake and decided that if she could talk to her ex, they would be able to smooth things over. The problem? She took things too far. She sent him over 121,000 messages in one week. It’s safe to say that he wasn’t interested.

Minor Inconvenience

After a nasty breakup, some people can sometimes take things a little too far when it comes to expressing their displeasure to their ex. It isn’t unheard of for people to burn their ex’s things or throw them in the trash. This ex-girlfriend on the other hand?

Minor Inconvenience

Minor Inconvenience

Not only was she completely calm and collected when she plotted revenge on her ex, but she was very clever about it, too. We’d like to take this moment to point out that no cars were actually harmed in this picture. All that happened was the owner had an annoyingly hard time getting into his car.

Let Them Eat Cake

The best way to commemorate a milestone event is with a slice of cake, right? Someone gave birth? Someone graduated? Get a cake. What about when a couple decides to get a divorce? Does that call for anything?

Let Them Eat Cake

Let Them Eat Cake

It turns out this calls for a cake as well! While the cake reads “sorry about the divorce!” the huge smile on the woman’s face clearly shows that she’s anything but sorry. We hope this cake made things better at least.

Long Time No Speak

When it comes to relationships, there’s always a chance that things will end on a bad note. On the flip side, the opposite is true as well – there’s always a chance things will end on a good note. However, there are those times when each person sees the situation differently.

Long Time No Speak

Long Time No Speak

It seems like these two were definitely not on the same page when we broke up. Whoever it was that initiated this conversation clearly thought that they still had a chance of getting back together. Well, they misread the situation, badly.

Automated Response

Is it just us or do everyone secretly wish their ex would tell them they miss them and that they were wrong? Just us? Anyway, this person did just that. They bit the bullet, gathered the courage, and said they missed their ex and that they were wrong.

Automated Response

Automated Response

Well, their ex was less than thrilled about receiving that text. In their defense, it had been a year since the break up apparently, so it makes sense that they turned them down. If anything, it’s pretty great that the ex was able to move on.

Move On

After a breakup, it’s natural to be reminded of your ex in all kinds of random places. Maybe you happen to pass by a restaurant they love, or you go past a park you once sat at. Whatever it may be, it’s rather inevitable to think of them at first.

Move On

Move On

All the same, there are times when breakups go south, as we’ve mentioned. This looks like one of those times a couple broke up on rather unpleasant terms. While one person remembers the other fondly, the feeling is most definitely not mutual.

Dreaming

Who hasn’t dreamt about people they know every now and again? Especially when you’re near people often, you’re more likely to see them in your dreams, which makes sense. This person, for instance, had just that.

Dreaming

Dreaming

Yet again, we see a case where one ex remembers the relationship in a better light than the other one does. In this scenario, one of them had a dream that they were getting back together. The other’s response? “What a nightmare”. Ouch.

Like A Baby

We’re starting to sense a pattern here… This person took a leap of faith, texting their ex to express their feelings. However, things didn’t go quite as they’d hoped, we’re guessing. We might not know what happened between these two, but from this exchange, we can guess it wasn’t good.

Like A Baby

Like A Baby

The person who sent the initial message is clearly going through something and is looking for some comfort in their ex. Well, their ex is not having it. In fact, they aren’t afraid to be absolutely blunt about it so the conversation ends.

Jaime

No matter how many times you think you’ve checked the message you’re going to send, check it again just to be on the safe side. One small mistake can truly ruin everything, and this is proof. This person admitted deep feelings for the other.

Jaime

Jaime

Their ex clearly didn’t feel the same way. Things only took a turn for the worse when their name, Jamie, was spelled wrong in the long message. We can’t help but feel a little bad for the one laying their cards out on the table. But alas, life is full of disappointment.

Recommendation

When you’re traveling somewhere you’ve never been to before, do not, under any circumstances, ask your ex for advice on where to go. Even if they happen to be a native of the area – don’t do it. No matter how your relationship ended, it’s a bad idea to get in touch.

Recommendation

Recommendation

In this case, we can clearly see that there is still some bad blood between these two exes. However, one seemingly didn’t know it before sending this message to their ex. It started out so innocently – maybe this was an olive branch of sorts? Whatever it was, it failed, big time.

Wrong Color

Yikes. When you’re dating someone, you should definitely know the color of their eyes! Reed clearly was attempting to get his ex back, and he wasn’t trying to hide it, either. However, he screwed up just one small detail.

Wrong Color

Wrong Color

If you’re trying to win back your ex, you gotta get their eye color right! Otherwise, you’ll end up like Reed in an awkward and embarrassing situation you won’t want to be in. Whatever you do, just remember the color of their eyes.

On The Dot

No one wants to be played around with, right? It’s quite exhausting to play games while dating someone, so the ideal is finding someone who won’t mess with you. This person clearly wanted to get back with their ex and was trying to be subtle about it.

On The Dot

On The Dot

Well, their ex was very clear about their intentions. They weren’t trying to hide the fact that they weren’t happy about getting a message from their ex at 15:15 in the afternoon. It’s understandable, really.

Hahahaha

This is rather painful to read. We might not know anything about the context of the situation between these two, but it doesn’t look like they’re getting back together anytime soon. While one decided to shoot their shot, it epically failed.

Hahahaha

Hahahaha

The other person was very clear in the fact that they were not the least bit interested in getting back together. In fact, the mere idea of it was so funny to them that they sent not one, not two, but three laughing responses to their ex. Ouch.

Just Checking

You can practically feel the animosity radiating from this conversation. The first person simply wanted to check on their ex for some reason or another, while the second person was obviously not interested.

Just Checking

Just Checking

In fact, they were so uninterested that they would rather their ex think that they didn’t make it through the flooding that happened than speak to them again. As Joey said, that is cold. Only we can’t blame them for that.

Typing…

Well, this is awkward… We have a few questions for this person, however. How did they notice that Taylor was typing on Snapchat? Were they trying to keep an eye on them? Was it really by chance?

Typing...

Typing…

Either way, it seems to have become an uncomfortable situation really quickly. All Taylor wanted to do was block their ex on Snapchat, but instead they got a text from them out of the blue. But hey, points for honesty, right?

The Spice Girls

Ah, another message from a lonely person attempting to win their ex back via text message. Yet again, this person failed spectacularly. As if the experience of missing someone wasn’t painful enough, their ex felt the need to drive the point home.

The Spice Girls

The Spice Girls

Instead of rejecting their ex straight out, they decided to use a somewhat clever metaphor to get the point across. It seemed to have worked, but we don’t know what happened next. We just hope that the person who texted first wasn’t too hurt.

You Up?

We all know what it means when someone randomly messages another “You up?”. It’s a known thing. So, when this person messaged their ex, it was obvious to them what they wanted out of the conversation.

You Up

You Up

At least the person getting the messages called them out on it. They immediately pointed out that the two haven’t spoken in three weeks before this conversation. Not to mention, it was the middle of the night.

Bad Taste

Ah, we’ve all had those moments when we wondered “what did we see in them?” This person reached out to their ex only to say that they had bad taste and low standards. We don’t know what lead up to this being said, but the reply is amazing all the same.

Bad Taste

Bad Taste

Instead of taking it lying down, the second person fired back with “That’s why I like you”. Ouch! That’s one serious burn if you ask us. We can’t help but wonder what happened after this was said. Did the conversation end here?

Never Doing It

When you’re thinking about doing something you are unsure about, there’s always that little voice in your head telling you not to go through with it. There are people who listen to that voice, and there are those who don’t.

Never Doing It

Never Doing It

However, there are people who listen to the voice, but only for so long before ignoring it and going through with what they wanted to do. This person is a great example. They took the risk and sent that text. Well, their ex shot them right down.

No

Sometimes, it’s best to get straight to the point. Why would you want to beat around the bush? It’s just a waste of time and energy. Well, this ex-boyfriend tried to start a conversation with his ex-girlfriend.

No

No

The ex-girlfriend obviously wanted to end this conversation as quickly as possible, so she did what she had to. She sent an image of her and her (apparently) new boyfriend to clarify that getting back together is not an option.

Waste Of Time

There are times when we do things that we might regret in the future. Well, this is not one of those times for the person who was messaged. Their ex messaged them at random, but the name was already changed in their contact information.

Waste Of Time

Waste Of Time

The person getting the message simply told the truth – they had no idea who it was since they were named “Waste Of Time”. Instead of getting offended or angry, it seems that the person completely understood and even agreed that it was an appropriate name.

Boxing

Wow, some people really have no filter when speaking to their ex! This person messaged their ex about a boxing gym they want to join. We aren’t sure what the full story is here – were these two speaking before? Was this the first conversation they’ve had since they broke up?

Boxing

Boxing

Whatever it may be, the other person doesn’t seem to be quite over the breakup just yet. They were very clear that they simply wanted to see their ex getting punched in the face by a stranger. We would say that’s kind of mean, but we’ve all been there, so…

I Have Plans

Some people don’t really understand hints when they’re given them. When your ex doesn’t reply to multiple messages you’ve sent, it’s pretty clear that they don’t want to speak to you. However, this person was slow on the uptake.

I Have Plans

I Have Plans

So, the other person had to be a little harsh since they weren’t getting it. When asked what they’re doing later, they said nothing. However, when asked if they want to hang out, they immediately said they have plans. Ouch.

Taking Out The Trash

First, we have to mention that the ex-boyfriend’s contact name is pretty hilarious. Second, he is clearly not over this person and is not afraid to show it loud and proud. When he messaged his ex professing his love for her, things took a turn to the unexpected.

Taking Out The Trash

Taking Out The Trash

the ex was completely unfazed by the passion in the first two messages. Instead, they simply stated how the plan works out for them. Why? Because if the ex-boyfriend is there on their front porch, it’s fine cause the trash will be taken out.

My Stuff

At the end of a relationship, there’s always that awkward point when you want to get your things back from your ex and vice versa. It might not always go so smoothly, however. As you’d expect, there are some hard feelings left after a breakup.

My Stuff

My Stuff

The ex-girlfriend in this case was obviously very angry at her ex. Instead of simply returning his things, she opted instead to burn it all without thinking twice about it. We have to admit that’s brave, but what did the ex do to deserve it?

Really?

Oh, come on, this is mean! This person’s ex texted them asking a very direct and vulnerable question: whether they can get back together. Well, this person had no mercy for their ex and decided to have a little fun.

Really

Really

Instead of simply stating that they don’t want to get back together, they said yes to get the ex’s hopes up. When the ex was clearly ecstatic about the situation, they asked if they were serious. That’s when this person went in for the kill with a simple “No”.

It Was Inappropriate

In our opinion, cheating is inexcusable. No matter the situation, when someone cheats on their significant other, that means the relationship is over. Not only did they betray their partner, they proved that they couldn’t be trusted.

It Was Inappropriate

It Was Inappropriate

Even so, it seems that there are people who don’t understand that and see cheating as a minor setback. Well, this person was clearly not having it when their ex texted them this message. We have to give them credit for saying what was on their mind without holding back.

Nine Years Ago

The first question might simply mean that this ex wanted to know how long Ashley will be in a certain place, but to us, it sounds like Ashley is in jail or something, wouldn’t you say? Whatever it may mean, it’s clear that this ex really wants Ashley back.

Nine Years Ago

Nine Years Ago

But, then you see Ashley’s response and it changes the way we see the entire conversation. Aside from the fact that these two only dated for a couple of months, it was nine whole years earlier! Can you say yikes?

Give It Back

As we’ve mentioned, a lot of the time, breakups involve returning all kinds of items that belong to your ex after the fact. This person asked their ex if they can get their shirt and sweatshirt back. However, they were probably not ready for the response they got.

Give It Back

Give It Back

Coming back with a clever answer, the ex simply asked if they can get four months of their life back. We have to say that it’s an impressive and brutal answer. And, it’s hilarious if you think about it.

Nectarines

Here we have another couple that is taking care of all kinds of odds and ends after their breakup. When one of them was away visiting Vegas, they told the other they can drop by and get the rest of their things.

Nectarines

Nectarines

It’s a good way to avoid seeing each other, that’s for sure. However, this person who went over did not want to leave with just their things. They wanted more. In fact, they wanted one single pillow and all the nectarines… Odd choices.

Nope

It seems that many people don’t seem to think through what they send their exes after they break up. This person, for instance, went straight to the point, calling their ex hot and asking how they’ve been.

Nope

Nope

Well, their efforts went to waste seeing as all their ex replied to the message was “Nope”. Honestly, it’s effective and straight-up, so it’s a good way to shut down a pestering ex who’s trying to get your attention.

Free Food

There are so many different reasons for couples to break up. From simple incompatibility to something more painful like cheating, the options are never-ending. However, after the fact, there are still times when you might second-guess things and wonder if what you did was the right choice.

Free Food

Free Food

This person was thinking back to the time they were dating this ex and they couldn’t help but ask about it. Their ex did not feel the same way, to say the least. It’s obvious from their answer. All they missed was free food.

My Eyes Burn

Again, there’s always that chance that your ex will have a sudden change of heart and want you back. Or, maybe they never wanted to break up but you did? Whichever it may be, it might not be a mutual thing – that’s the real issue.

My Eyes Burn

My Eyes Burn

In this case, the ex was missing the person they messaged. However, the feeling clearly wasn’t mutual. Instead of longing, this person simply felt disgusted when they would see a photo of their ex. They were definitely not shy about the fact, either.
