    Ladies, I have to vent.  I lead a very drama free life.  I treat everyone as I would like to be treated.  So a little background.  I was in what I thought was a decent enough relationship for a little over two years.  I realized that I wasn't being treated the way I deserved, so I left and never looked back.  I dealt with enough verbal abuse and had nothing else to say to this person. 

    Fast forward over a year later to yesterday (rewind?) this ex sent me three incredibly mean texts.  I don't get it.  Why would someone do something like that?  We haven't talked in over a year.  I'm in an incredible relationship and am in overall a much better place in my life.  I don't understand the reasoning behind sending me such mean comments.  Are people really that hateful?  Has anyone else had a similar experience?

    My Ex was a very sweet guy, more of a friend though.  So we would still talk once every couple months just to see how things were but he stopped talking to me once I got engaged.

    I would just let it go, I think you shouldn't correspond with someone like that...they only want to drag you down to their level!

    Oh, I'm definitely not going to respond.  I've already deleted the texts.  But I just can't understand why in the world someone would be so hateful?  If his motive was to prove that I made the right decision, he did a fantastic job!

    That is kinda random, eh? Did they find out you're in a new and happy relationship ?

    Sometimes people hate their life so much that they want to bring other people down with them.  I think your are stronger for the fact that you didn't let it bother you and you never responded:)

    Maybe he just recently found out that you're in a very happy relationship? Can we ask what the texts said? I definitely wouldn't respond, but people lash out when they feel insecure like that, and maybe he was trying to just hurt you in any way he could b/c you're happy and he's not.

    My sisters ex will randomly do stuff like that after he's been drinking.  Really mean stuff.  She just ignores it or tells a mutual friend what he did so it gets back to him that he's acting like an A$$

    Probably he's going through a rough time and decided to lash out at you. Maybe he holds a lot of resentment and something happened and he got him thinking about you again and "blaming" you for his rough patch.

    I deleted the texts already, but basically he said that he had seen me around town and was reminded of how ugly I am.  And that he'd recently talked to two girls that I'd gone to college with and they agreed that I am a stuck up bitch.  And then he went on later to send texts about how ugly my current boyfriend is.  blah blah blah.

    He's known for a while that I've been in this relationship.  It was super random.  I wonder where in the world he saw me...was it a random passing on the street or "I'm a crazy stalker parked in your parking lot"  lol

    He's seeking attention. He is super lonely and possibly depressed and wants to get a reaction out of you. People do this on facebook all the time. He was also most likely drunk or on drugs. Ignore him. If he persists, text him that you have no problem alerting the police that he is harrassing you.

    He's an a$$hole.  Just ignore him, and he if continues to text you terrible things--I'd look into a different number or contacting the police.

    I've had a similar experience and can sympathize. I didn't hate him or anything when I broke up with him, just was really unhappy and couldn't see a future in it. I tried to be as nice about it as I could - although there's really no nice way to break up with someone, I suppose. He showed his true colours after the break-up though! He kept saying unfair stuff to a mutual friend that he KNEW would get back to me. Also sent me a really bitter and mean-spirited email, like two years later! The funny thing was, at the end of it he told me he was engaged (and she was so much nicer than me, obviously). It always hurts to be insulted, even when you know it's 100% BS, but I actually had to laugh a bit. I felt sorry for his fiancee, because obviously he was more in hate with me than in love with her. At any rate, I never responded.

    Losers. :-)

    Yeah, he definitely was bitten by the green monster. He's jealous that you're blissfully happy with your man while he's probably still pining over you. Totally ignore the texts and continue living your happy life! The best revenge is being happy where you are!

    I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of getitng a reply.  You have moved on and up in the world and maybe he's just jealous of that.  You go girl!

    He is obviously very bitter...thats so awful that he would do that though! MEN! :)

    Could be worse though...(i always like to throw things into prespective) an ex-friend of mine, she is till with this guy to, when he gets drunk he tells her to go back to where she came from (wheres that you say??) He will yell in her face  "to hell cause you are the spawn of the devil"....just lovely....I hate him....:p

    What beekiss2 recommended is correct.  If this ever happens again look into changing your number.  If he knows where you live I'd consider contacting the police.  The first thing they will ask is if you have told him to never contact you again.  If you have told him this and continued to do so that is definitely harassment.  People can be so weird and it's creepy!  I'm sorry you are dealing with this :(

    As for if I've ever had this happen, sort of.  I never had an ex come back with mean things but I've had two come back and say the weirdest stuff.  One guy said he was sorry if he offended me (this was a year after we had not spoken since I broke up with him) and hopes I'm doing well, because he is to, yadda yadda.  He found me on FB so I quickly put him on the block list so he couldn't send me another message.  The thing was, he didn't offend me.  He was just a total ASS and did not realize how one-sided our relationship was.  Moron.

    He is so totally JEALOUS! Take it as a compliment, you are still on his mind, he knows he gave up someone wonderful which makes him feel bad about himself, so he wants to get back at you and make you feel bad about yourself.

    Sounds like you are a sweet hottie with a really cute boyfriend. Jealous guys usually hone in on what they miss most about you and then flip it around to opposite land to make them feel better. I would brush it off an not respond, and only think about what he sent in a flattering light... you rock, he misses you, and he can't have you!
