The ex sends a message

United States
March 28, 2007 11:59am CST
My husband and I are both on Myspace and the other day I received a message from someone quite surprising. It was his ex-girlfriend. She just wanted to say hi and how happy we look and how cute our son is. Oh- and to give my husband a hug from her, no harm-just that they go way back. Hmmmm....interesting in itself. So I show my husband and he gets a kick out of it. Like what was she thinking? We laugh it off, then the next day HE gets a message from her saying basically the same, but she goes on to say "Cute kid- I'm assuming it's yours". What the heck? Just because she's not with either of her children's father's doesn't mean everyone's like that. Am I just going crazy, or was that a really rude thing to put in there?

Maybe you should just laugh and leave it alone. It's not worth getting angry at such a nobody in your life.

I agree wholeheartedly. In the grand scheme, she doesn't matter at all. Ignore her and have a little giggle at how pathetic and small she's being.

I think she's really quite jealous LOL. This is her way of being petty and mean. I think she feels that by sending you a message and then your husband that she's going to cause problems. Not specifically that she's trying to split you up or anything, but just playing stupid games. It was actually a really rude thing for her to put in a message. Especially where everyone can see it. Thats the trouble with people like her. If you don't want anymore messages from her, I suggest you remove her from your friends list if she's on there and then switching your Spaces to private, so that only people who are on your friends list can message you and so on. I do hope you didn't reply to her. Getting a reaction may be exactly what she's looking for. On the other hand, sending her a message back telling her how happy you all are, and that she doesn't know what she missed could be fun too! Lol.

hhmm,maybe she feels little lonely and try to get little fresh air, give her a nice smile and say calm, 'Please don't bother my family!' :)

i say, don't respond on her! she is asking for a reaction, so better don't! in this way she doesn't have any fun and she stops! just ignoring is the best thing you could do(both of you) oke i understand you want to react, or say something to her but i think you should be the ädult"here!

Of course it was RUDE-- Is there anyway to ignore people on myspace-- I'd certainly ignore her- How very silly she is-- I think she is probably just trying to get things started- to cause a rift between you 2.. Ignore her-- Post back and say thanks-- we're so darn happy.. I am not a member of my space.. Wow what a suprise though-- I'm glad you and your hubby got a good laugh!

Oh yea it was rude and clearly intentional. Perhaps she sees you as the woman that got her man regardless of the truth. Quite often if people are one way they beleive that everyone is that way, or has the potential to be, and just assumes. Just forget about her and concentrate on your man and you will be fine.

It sounds like the ex is trying to rile you up actually, because she probably knew that he would share the message with you. I would hope your husband will not continue to talk to her because of her possible ill intentions.

I think that was fair enough for her..hehe.Maybe she fondly made a little medlling or she has a more serious issue that she can never get over with hehe. Hope she'll find her happiness soon so as not to meddle with your blissful lives anymore. In anycase, don't make it go too far. Take it easy and be positive to her instead.

Yea, that was quite rude and I honestly would have said soemthing rude back to that. I cant believe she fixed her mouth to say that. If I was you, Id block her from being able to send you anything else on there, along with your husband.

The X. Sad but they do exist. I wish that when a relationship ends (that doesn't have children involved)the people would part ways and that would be that. As for why she is contacting both of you... I know that I wouldn't like it. I would leave it up to my husbands judgement otherwise you might come off as looking insecure and controlling. She could be contacting you innocently just remembering good times and what not or she is trying to stir up trouble. I think it would be up to your husband as to whether he wants to keep talking to her or not.

On your my space profile she wrote that.... that was really rude of her to write that on ur profile. I think u should have sent her back a rather rude message also or just one to say she is out of place.

Your husband's ex is childish and just trying to push your buttons. Don't go for it! Ignor her and that will get to her worse than any response you could give. Bullies hate not getting a reaction and the best thing to do is ignore them. Bless both of you and your beautiful baby!

Well just ignore the message sent an you'll be in peace. It's no used arguing and responding to those messages since you really don't know what her intentions really are. Just be assured that your husband is not bothered at all. I guess if you leave her alone and your husband she'll just disappear from you're sight in no time.

Yeah, I think it was rude. But she must not have meant it, or if she did, she probably is just sourgraping because you and your baby are happy with his ex, while she doesn't have a father for her kids. Just brush it off. She's just probably bitter with her life that's why she's able to say those rude words. The important thing is you are happy with your husband.

It may be she isn't happy with her current life and is trying to reach out to a time she felt happy. My ex husband did the same thing with a few of his ex girlfriends when we were going through some problems. He was tellinng them that he kicked me out and had filed for divorce even though we were living in the same house together still. The funny part is he told me before this that one of the girls he contacted was nuts and wouldn't leave him alone, and that he was glad to be out of that relationship. Yet she was the first person he tried to get back in touch with. It may just be out of lonelness. I would leave it alone and forget about it, if she tries to make another contact though I would let her know that it is not wanted.
