I’ll go first. My ex cheated on me with a dude, (I’m les, she’s bi,) brought home chlamydia and bed bugs, then after 13 years of no contact, texts me randomly to try and pull me into an MLM pyramid scheme.

    My wife’s ex… She wanted a dog, he didn’t. They compromised and got a dog. She broke it off shortly afterwards, because she realized he was a full blown mask-off white supremacist. She got the dog in the split, because she was the one who wanted him in the first place.

    We got married like a decade later, and the dog died shortly afterwards. She had him blocked on everything, but sent a “hey just wanted to let you know the dog died” message through a mutual friend who still talked to him. He tried to use “grief processing” as an excuse to meet up for lunch. He was still a blatant white supremacist, but hadn’t seen any of our wedding photos because she had him blocked on everything. I’m not white. I offered to tag along to their meeting, just to see his the look on his face when I walked through the door and introduced myself as her husband.

      Why even send the text at that point though?

      Yeah that dog you didn’t want, and hadn’t seen in 10 years. It’s dead. Want to get coffee?

      The only assumption is you wanna reconnect.

      Oh man, that would have been priceless. The one-liners you could have used are endless:

      • “Wait, this is the guy who thinks he’s the ‘master race’? Seriously?!”
      • “Did you find out if he has to shop for his white robes in the children’s section?”
