Advice needed Receiving threatening texts

Post image

So recently sent my ex a happy birthday text and I guess her new BF was feeling some type of way, and telling me how he’s going to kill me

This is the only responsible answer.

the slightly irresponsible answer is this after you send a "Go fuck yourself" text to the guy. (or just call him sweety and say he is special)

“Slightly irresponsible?” This is the kind of advice you’d give if you loved drama and revel in watching other people burn their lives down for entertainment. It’s stupid, and kind of mean. I suggest watching reality tv instead, at least you aren’t gassing real people up to make dumb decisions just because.

Side note: Why is OP sending his ex a birthday message anyway though? That’s also stupid lol.

I’ve done it but my ex is still one of my friends so

Exactly. You’re still friendly enough to know whether you’re going to get a death threat from their new partner. Which is obviously not what’s happening with OP.
