Ex gf sent me a picture, do I say something back?

[AloneinTexas]

I have been broken up for a month now, and had dated a girl for 6 months. She moved very far away and thus things ended a bit over a month after she left. I consider myself the dumper.

 

At any rate, ever since pulling the plug, I have not heard a peep from her. Well last night she sends me this picture of herself with a piercing going thru her nose (like a bull). It looks stupid!

 

1. Do I say "hey nice piercing."

2. pretend i never got it (maybe she accidently sent it to me instead of someone else.

3. tell her i would prefer she not contact me ever again.

 

When i received the text, my heart never really skipped a beat. The girl I dated before her though, I had received a couple of late night phone calls and my heart was racing (tho I never picked up the phone.) I can safely say I am fairly over this girl , if it matters.

I wouldn't answer - let it slide.

It depends on if you WANT to talk to her or not. If you really are over her, I would say it doesn't matter, it's up to you. If you would like to have a casual friendship with her, then reply. if you don't really want to talk to her, then ignore the texts. Ignore any future texts until she gets the hint. If she doesn't get it, then tell her you don't want to talk to her anymore.

Ignore it.

Ignore it or reply with one word: "Mooooooooooooo!"

[AloneinTexas]

Well i didnt take the NC route. I said MOOOOOO.

 

She wrote back: sorry, didnt mean to send you the pic last night. wrong name. seeya."

She wrote back: sorry, didnt mean to send you the pic last night. wrong name. seeya."

 

That was kinda mean, but (I have to admit) funny!

[Stella Sleepwalks]

She totally meant to send it to you. She still has your number in her phone huh?!

[Mythical_Suicide]

Well i didnt take the NC route. I said MOOOOOO.

Real mature

 

 

Why didn't you just ignore it?

[AloneinTexas]

Well what does her reply indicate?

 

It could have been a cover up or an honest mistake. I replied bc I need to learn the hard way I guess.

[Stella Sleepwalks]

Probably if anything to see whether you would try to get into conversation with her... You know, "By the way how are you? blah blah blah" DOn't let your mind wander, like you say it doesn't bother you.

 

IMO if you're over an ex and want NC then you don't have their number in your phone anymore. Just incase any of these "accidents" happen.

[AloneinTexas]

So you think it wasn't an "honest mistake" as she says. I guess no one will really ever know, apart from her.

 

I moved her down in my contacts, and off speed dial so I don't pull an "Accident" like she pulled.

 

But maybe she said it was for someone else so she wants me to think there's another moving in on her.

Now she has the upper hand, right? Im thinking i defintly do NOT want to reply to this last one, cuz anything more that what i said (Mooooo) was too much.

The fact that you are over-analyzing the whole thing is just giving her what she wanted (If she did infact have some other intent behind it and it wasn't just an honest mistake..) You are thinking about her and pondering her motives.

[AloneinTexas]

Well she doesn't know Im thinking about it. I havent wrote back yet. She may assume I am wondering who the pic was for, but I would not ever stopp to the level of trying to actually ask her. I just am walking away from this pic/reply/reply thing feeling very unsatisfied. NC woulda been the better route.

The fact that you responded to the picture at all was enough.

[Scorpion Fury]

What does it even matter? You said you are over her and your heart didn't skip a beat when you saw she texted you

[AloneinTexas]

So basically she owns me now.

It's really very simple. If you would like to be on friendly terms with her, ask her how she's doing. If you don't want anything to do with her, ignore her texts.

yep pretty much..

[AloneinTexas]

So we have come to the conclusion you just dont accidently send a picture to an ex. in my history, ive never done it, so your all prob right.

 

as for me, part of me wishes to say how are u, part of me wishes to leave her be.

[Mythical_Suicide]

Nobody has concluded anything as we don't know, I have accidentally sent things to people I didn't mean to especially since your breakup is still somewhat fresh, it could have been a complete accident on her part. Right after my ex and I broke up I found myself still sending him stuff because I was used to him being the first one I sent things to. But reality is, you don't know nor does anyone else whether it was intentional or a mistake.

 

We are just saying move forward from this and stop wondering about it.
