I'm interested in some points of view here. It's personal but I don't have any emotions involved, just thinking WTH?

The other day I got a text message from my ex-husband. It read something about how he didn't get how a person can be so compassionate one minute and so different the next and blah blah blah.
I knew it wasn't meant for me as we have not spoken about anything so personal in over 2 years. So I forwarded it back to him and kind of laughed over it. He texted back "****, wrong person" and explained that he was embarrassed etc. No big deal, although it was a little awkward as I had just met his new girlfriend a week ago and really didn't care to hear their personal business.

So today, I receive ANOTHER text meant for the girlfriend in which he was pleading with her to talk to him and he knew she liked him by the way she was kissing him last Thursday. (who says that anyway???)

Isn't it kind of odd that a person would send a text message to the wrong person two times in a row? I think if that happened to me one time I would make sure it never happened again. Does anyone see any ulterior motive here, 'cause I'm not coming up with anything.

Ok, so maybe dude just can't keep his fingers on the right keys. Just seems odd that I barely talk to the guy and now I'm the receiver of texts meant for someone else.

Quit analyzing Heather.......OK.......laugh

Apparently he and the girlfriend do not speak, they text. Seems kind of impersonal to me too.

Two things: First, he apparently hasn't learned anything and continues to fail at relationships; Secondly, he isn't a text message maven.

I'm thinking he's not smart enough to make this some calculated thing to piss you off...maybe if he was texting good things to another woman, but even then, how childish. So, simply delete and be glad he's not yours any longer.

Remember, you can't fix stupid! laugh

IMO,texting is for teenagers and morons. It's the CB Radio of today. I've never texted and I communicate fine with family,friends and lovers. be seeing you

:tongue: that was cute. Yes, it's not a good attempt to play some kind of game, if that's what it is. You know, when he brought her here to meet us I did wonder if it was some kind of odd ploy (for various reasons), but since it wasn't something that was going to work I just killed her with kindness. After the first text blunder he mentioned that as I could see it wasn't working out with her. It all just seems odd that he is now including me in his relationship stuff. It's the last place I want to be, and don't even care to be a supportive friend in all of that.

I think if it happens a third time, I need to be very clear in the fact I don't want to be involved at all in his personal life. The second text message I just totally ignored.

I don't believe in coinsedences.

They are probably both bored and trying to yank your chain since she met you. Children are entertained by simple things and you took the bait once. Put him on block and or ignore him.

Or copy off the texts and keep them in case this behavior escalates to harrassment.

I never have understood why it is necessary to have a phone number for and Ex or giving him mine. Am I missing something? Do Ex's ever tell you anything you need to know?

Her name could be close to mine on the list, that's a thought.

Pacific....we have to exchange numbers because of the children. It does seem odd that this has happened twice. I won't hesitate to be real clear if it happens again.
