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.

#28 My Ex-Wife In A Nutshell

Text exchange showing frustrating conversation with exes about plans and misunderstandings.

Look at the time stamps. This happens all the time on her already limited visitation schedule with our 6 year old son. Her time is clearly defined in our custody agreement and she sticks to it ~50% of the time. She always has some excuse.

Text exchange with a problematic ex, highlighting a heated argument over ownership in messages.

So refund shows on the card and she refuses to send half of it, saying she’s keeping all of it. I have taken care of “our” son by myself, she’s not been in his life or taken care of him that whole year.
