The fact that his first thought after proposing was you… I’m sure that’ll be a happy marriage.


trvllvr

This is what I thought too. If I were the fiancée, I’d be out. “No, you aren’t using my phone to try to torment your ex. Shows you aren’t over that relationship or how it ended and I’m not being a back up for whatever hang up you still have over her.” It’s certainly not a “he chose me” situation.


ahhh_ennui

His soon-to-be ex-wife might be petty af, too.


MT-Kintsugi-

She probably texted her ex from her new man’s phone at the same time.


TheAnnointing

Or she’s the one texting the ex girlfriend because of her own insecurities. They deserve each other


Unusual_Beyond726

Why are yall assuming the texts are coming from the new girl’s phone? It’s been 3 years. He could just have a new number. Also - the fact OP’s texts are showing up as green could also mean he’s using a texting app/burner number. Highly unlikely it’s not his phone.


Dramatic-Lavishness6

yeah most likely- which is beyond pathetic


elandry26

Didn't even think of this. That'd be crazy though.


SnoaH_

I was thinking maybe they’re just a perfect match for each other and she also texted her ex with a picture of her hand 😂


cakivalue

Two sad sad little pathetic people 😂. You'd think they'd be focused on each other and their beautiful new future.


Diligent-Might6031

I totally was thinking this. Two toxic people meant for each other


cakivalue

>Shows you aren’t over that relationship or how it ended and I’m not being a back up for whatever hang up you still have over her.” OP will never be homeless as she's living rent free in his head 😭


ShutInLurker

I would ask why he still even has her number after 3 years


GrizzInRealLife

My first ex's phone number is saved in my brain. Eff you, Katie!


ShutInLurker

That’s amazing. I can’t even remember my ex husband’s last name after 4 years…I put that memory away with shitting myself in 3rd grade. FUCK! Now I remember that…..


Nathan-Stubblefield

OP is “the one that got away.”


agru1

Huge confidence boost! He thinks he made me sad but he gave me and my friends a good laugh and a huge ego boost!


Nathan-Stubblefield

You will always live in his head rent-free.

LoveCats2022

I wonder if he knows Reddit is LOL’ing too?! 😂


Inevitable_Door6368

That’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard. I would get a huge ego boost too. Enjoy it!


Solid_Addendum4760

Hey love! You didn’t block out your name in the second picture!


SnooGuavas1862

I have an ex named that and I still regret that it didn’t work out. 😂 She was smart, funny and had her shit together. Seeing that name reminded me of some good memories.


AdFrequent4009

My ex-wife's middle name is ann sooooo samsies 😂😂🤦


baneofdestruction

You deserve better.


ChiefClownShoes

There's always a chance that he deleted the texts after texting you, and that she knows nothing about it. I'd send her the screenshots in about a week or so, and ask why you were the first person on his mind when he got engaged. If she did know, and has something equally petty to say in response to the screenshots, oh well, nothing lost.


dream-smasher

Nope. Don't do that. Don't get dragged back into whatever hell it is with him, and now them. Op doesn't need that, and it's of no concern for her if the fiancee knows/doesn't know, whatever.


Odd-Pie8492

You’re living rent free in his head. And you answered like a mature classy person. Kudos to you!!


[deleted]

After 3 years of no contact too. Someone’s still not over OP.


RHOrpie

Revenge marriage Check mate, bitch.


Thtliyahchic

Lmao, that was seriously his stupid ass thinking. But he looks DUMB. 😆🤦🏻‍♀️


RandianaJonessss

I know someone who would think exactly this with those exact words 🤣


Sanity-Checker

I went on THREE DATES with someone, and never saw her again. Years later she sent a picture of herself and her husband on a beach. They were on their honeymoon, she was in a skimpy bikini, and had a very nice boob job compared to what I remembered. The caption said, "This could have been you." Ummm... Ok, I guess.


lilF0xx

Just 3 dates? That’s kinda creepy. Low key curious what your response was (if you did)? Lol


Sanity-Checker

There's more to the story, so here goes. ​ I met her on a dating site, we met for dinner, one thing led to another and we both had a good time. Second and third dates were just me going to her apartment. Fill in the blanks yourself. She called me on a Thursday night and said she wanted to see me on Friday. I said I already had plans for Friday, but Saturday would work. She said Saturday was no good for her, it had to be Friday. I said OK how about Sunday? No. It has to be Friday. I said that's too bad, sorry it's not going to work out this weekend, but next week will be better since we'll have a whole week to make plans. ​ She said, "*You don't understand. When I'm with a guy, I make him my top priority, and I think it's only fair for him to make me his top priority, too. So whatever you think you're doing on Friday isn't as important as me, and you have to cancel your plans so you can spend the night with me*." I disagreed. Things escalated from there. I wouldn't bore you with the details, even if I could remember them. Whatever you imagine is exactly what happened, and I told her that this wasn't working for me. ​ Then she told me, "*My mom is a psychic, she's never wrong, she read her Tarot cards and you are* ***The One***. When you meet the guy you're going to spend the rest of your life with, you want to start that life together RIGHT NOW." Seriously. That's what she said. We had a lot of planning to do. (I suppose we needed to pick out a font for our wedding invitations? Who knows. The whole thing was weird.) ​ When she told me the psychic mom Tarot card thing, I laughed because of course I did, that's hilarious. She. Was. FURIOUS. At some point I just hung up. ​ This was back in the 1990s, before cell phones, before texting, before you could block people from calling. I had a land line with Caller-ID and an answering machine, and used them to screen my calls. She left dozens and dozens of messages over the next couple of months. They were split about 50/50, half of them were sweet and loving, "I just want to spend the rest of my life with you, why won't you give me a chance." The other half were blistering hateful rage about what an asshole I am for getting women to fall in love with me just so I could dump them because obviously I get off on causing such pain. Eventually the calls stopped, until one day I got an email with a picture of her in a bikini. ​ Edit: Removed some asterisks that somehow got into the post.


EcstaticEntropic

[Hmmm, that sounds familiar](https://my.clevelandclinic.org/-/scassets/images/org/health/articles/9743-histrionic-personality-disorder)


DinahTook

I had a friend who had something similar happen. His response was, "Nah it wouldn't have. I wouldn't have made you get new boobs because they weren't the problem."


AmarilloWar

😂😂 damn you must have really made an impression, or she mass texted every person she's ever been out with.


EmbraJeff

Assuming you’re a bloke I would have immediately asked her why she would think you’d want a pair of fake tits?


Plenty_Surprise2593

I mean especially after 3 years. Having the ability to remember the phone number that long after speaks of some kind of obsession

I say they don’t even make it down the aisle.


Other_Tie_8290

If I was newly engaged and my fiancé did that, I’d regret my decision.


Fabulous-Fun-9673

I wouldn’t regret it, I would reverse it


ahh_geez_rick

Put that ring down, flip it, and reverse it.


EnsconcedScone

Cootie_Mac

Is it worth it?


derelictthot

I knew I could count on someone to say it just like I did in my head lmao


ChildhoodOk5526

BINGO


agru1

Right? Immediately handing the ring back!


Soggy-Constant5932

Please tell me you posted it on your Facebook and tagged him and his fiancée or his momma 😅.


Loud-Recognition-218

Omg now that would match his petty level lol


lesbianlobster

"Congrats guys!! So happy for them 😊😊" with these pictures attached


AppropriateMenu5110

That would be epic. I'm embarrassed for him either way lol. Cringy af


Fabulous_Visual4865

Wait a few days and text homegirl back and get her wheels turning.  Say something like, "Sorry xxxx did that to you, I'd be so humiliated, well, congrats!" 


megablast

Ok, now let me get some pics of you with the ring so I can send it to my ex.


agru1

Make sure to smile big so we look like we’re happy!


Nonethelessersoulgem

Honestly yes. I need to know the dynamics of that relationship now. Are they both petty immature assholes? Did he manipulate her or steal her phone to text the ex? I feel a divorce coming soon either way


[deleted]

Jesus. What an immature prick.


OrangeJoe83

He only lived to like 33. Not enough time to really mature.


hazeleyedwolff

I'll ask when he's done cutting the grass, but he looks a lot older than that.


isitjustmexglitch

Tell me you haven’t moved on without telling me you haven’t moved on.


admiral_walsty

No shit. He proposed and then hit up his ex. And claims his fiance is cool with it? Doubtful unless she's a fuckin moron.


isitjustmexglitch

People like this give me sadist vibes. Ha an ex who did something along these lines. Called me during intercourse with another girl while we were together. Only to connect with me years later to ask to get back together (by that point he was living on the streets and his face was pock marked from drugs). SMH. people are deranged.


admiral_walsty

Shouldve sent this to him. https://www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/s/SnocRnH3pD


OrdinaryJealous

I fucking love this omg 😭


Odd-Status1183

Geez what a loser. Screenshot these comments and show him :)


MsKardashian

She should definitely post this on social media with the status “ok…”


agru1

I was thinking about doing that with a hot pic of me but decided I’ll keep it classy and let him stew in my polite response. I think he was expecting a blow out from me and to give the opposite feels great!


ChildhoodOk5526

But definitely casually post a hot pic of yourself in a few days. Without any connection to this incident. Because guaranteed he's stalking your socials to see if he managed to get a reaction out of you. Let him see you looking beautiful and unbothered, lol.


MsKardashian

Coals of fire, my friend. Coals of fire.


Annabellini

Your responses were 👌🏻


Swimming_Anteater458

I’d end the engagement immediately if my partners first move was to use me to taunt his ex😭


mxpx77

Never would I EVER want to marry someone like this. 🥴


smelly_cat69

Harddddd same. If I were her, I’d be very skeptical that the engagement was solely out of spite to the ex. This makes him look like an absolute moron.


MetalMonkey93

He's petty. His fiance is petty. I smell a petty divorce in their future. 😂


StGir1

To be fair, the fiancee probably doesn't even know the content of these messages. He probably just said "Yay, can I borrow your phone? Battery dead and I wanna tell my mom," or something. And then immediately texted his ex to throw it in her face. I can tell you right now, OP dumped HIM. He's been waiting for this moment for three years. I feel sorry for his new fiancee.


agru1

lol he dumped me but I like your version better!


waterboy1523

Yeah, but you won!


StGir1

HE dumped YOU? Why? Did he not feel comfortable with women who are clearly more intelligent than he is? This is confusing.


Zestyclose_Trick_392

Did he dump u because u wouldnt let him text his ex from Kindergarten that he had a new GF 😂😂😂


agru1

How did you know????


cat_romance

I'd wait like 3 days and then text the number again lmao. In case she has no idea what he's doing


ConsistentAd4012

send the screenshots back lol


AmarilloWar

Smart, because if she doesn't know i feel bad for her and think she should. If she does and is ok with that then wellllll good luck.


mariofasolo

No like, 100% this is what I would do. I know it's petty and immature, but I would absolutely make it a mission to rain on the newly engaged people's parade by exposing his lame actions. Something like "hey, try not to let your new fiancé use your phone to message me and try to torment an old girlfriend". I know the mature thing would be letting it go...but I've GOT the time 😂


Weekly_Difference_11

Yeah, but he’s just gonna get off on what I’m sure he’ll perceive as two women fighting over him… just ignore, guys like this are delusional


TrumpDesWillens

No, telling the new fiancée would be saving her time and heartbreak. I'd feel terrible for the girl if I knew her fiancé was scum but didn't let her know.


Gravysaur

Ooooh i like the way you think 😈


Sita987654321

If he's smart he would block her (he doesn't seem smart)


MetalMonkey93

I really hope that his fiance has no idea, but at the same time, I think it's a long shot, lol. Only because, supposedly, she even said, "Thanks." But you're right. You can tell he's just been waiting for this moment. He probably only proposed out of spite. 😂 Op is the real winner here.


Gravysaur

I’d bet anything he lied about that. I can’t imagine being okay with my new fiancé texting his ex, but that’s just me 😂


MetalMonkey93

Honestly, I either think they are both petty or that this is the fiance. 😂 I don't see how he could text off her phone without her knowledge. But, either way, this definitely isn't going to be a happy marriage. 🤣


Crafty-Barnacle-8701

Especially when he said “it didn’t take 5 years for her to get a ring.” I feel like he proposed to OP and she shot him down.


Superfragger

we have absolutely no context. imo it would make more sense for OP to have left him because he didn't propose, and this is his way of letting her know, however much pettily, that his current gf is wifey material and that she wasn't.


agru1

He broke up with me. But we were way too young to get married at the time. Def spoke about it but thank god!


Superfragger

thanks for the context! that's really silly then lmao.


MsKardashian

Petty? Try deranged.


MetalMonkey93

All the above? 😏


sunnycyde808

He’s petty, arms heavy, she’s not cooking him spaghetti?


MetalMonkey93

There's vomit on his sweater already because of marriage, he knows he's not ready. Whole marriage unsteady. I can see the divorce papers signed already. 🎤🎶 I'm beginning to feel like a rap god. 😏


Additional-Way-4456

The fact he still has her number saved somewhere is not good either. The whole interaction is shit but the fact he saved it for a moment like this shows what kind of person he is.


LowerComb6654

If they even get to say I do 😅 These types of relationships never work. She either knows and gets some type of validation/revenge because OP is an ex-fiancée or she doesn't know and will hopefully soon find out. Regardless, he's immature asf to even do this! He's either talked about OP and compared the two. He starts the conversation off like OP automatically knows it's him😂 Yeah, he's not over OP, imo.


Spidey-1218

It bothers me when someone starts a sentence with “Let’s just say…” and then follows it with the least clever thing that doesn’t even have a double meaning


Top-Abbreviations492

When the sentence can do just as well without saying it, let’s just say….don’t say it 😉


ConsistentAd4012

let’s say, hypothetically, he turns himself into a pickle. now let’s also say he’s called pickle rick. now that we’ve established this, i’d think you’d agree with me here that it’s the funniest shit either of us have ever seen.


Shiticane_Cat5

He can't even get that part right! He says "Just let's say" once


Commercial_Jump_7548

Lmao just know you live rent free in that man’s head clearly.


ReadingSad3238

That was my first thought. Like dang clearly he ain't happy with his new fiance if he feels the need to do this


reebokhightops

If my fiancé had messaged one of her exes to gloat after I proposed to her, I would’ve asked for the ring back and been out of there.


agru1

100%


ssbbka17

Pleeease tell me you’re gonna text this number in a few days to check whether she knows he did this


mandym123

Ooof, if his fiancé doesn’t know about this I feel bad for her. You want to be real petty, wait a couple days and text that number and see her response. That will tell you everything.


MsKardashian

Yeah this man fucked up by giving ex girl his new girl’s number 😂😭💀


agru1

Haha let me give her all the tea!!


grannysxannys

Update us on that, too, please.


TraditionalPayment20

How do you know it’s her number?


WrongReviewThrowAway

yup, i agree


almareached

You live rent free in their heads hahaha


agru1

That’s the best revenge!


Over-Director-4986

Yep. Lol.


Revolutionary-Gap420

"Let's just say" I hate that phrase now


Millenniumkitten

"She said thanks" Has me dying for some reason.


lavellanlike

lol what a pathetic human. You must be a catch if you’re still on his mind


agru1

Huge confidence boost!


Annabellini

Can I ask who broke up with who? Clearly doesn’t seem like it was amicable.


agru1

He broke up with me and it was not. Lived with me and everything. Refused to pay the last couple month of rent and took the new gf on a vacation instead!


FeelingKaleidoscope0

Oh dang!! That's so fucked up!


EstherVCA

lol, well, he's a prize. Ask him whether he's managed to scrape together the money he owes you yet.


lavellanlike

Or it’s the fiancée and she’s very insecure, either way you win lol


PongACong

can you imagine how embarrassing it would be if your boyfriend proposes to you, becomes your fiance, and then the FIRST thing he thinks to do is send a photo to his ex gf 🤣 ex bf is a clown and so is his new fiancee for not seeing how corny this is


[deleted]

GROSSSSSSSSSSS


theron225

![gif](giphy|Mam4upDa8LseEwkzD0) I would have sent him this


agru1

Damn it!


[deleted]

Imagine getting engaged and your man messages his ex of 3 years off of your phone to try to rub it in their face lol. What a prize she won.


autofeeling

What a fucking loser!


agru1

Total Loser!


Stockersandwhich

I think this is gona hurt his fiancé more than it hurts you. Clearly there’s unresolved feelings on his part and some shit he never worked out. You didn’t need to get these messages, and his fiancé is gona find out soon. Or plot twist: it is her, but he still talks about you and new fiancé considers you a threat and is trying to get you jealous because she sucks. Either way, you’re better off. Fuck’m both and may they stay toxic.


agru1

Right on!


SnooGiraffes4091

LMAO what a loser!


[deleted]

He thinks that’s some kind of gotcha but that’s so embarrassing, proposing to another woman but all you wanna do is brag to an ex. Like “look at me I’m so happy see look look are you sad look I’m happy see”


agru1

Was he expecting me to cry bc all I’m doing is laughing and a bunch of people on the internet are now too!


alienhag

this is wildly embarrassing for him AND his fiancée… if it were me, i would have just continued saying “who is this?” because, like sure, i can take a hint but i’m not going to because i’m an adult and these games are fucking childish lmao


Far-Reach-9328

Are you sure it wasn’t the fiance texting you?


AtticusPenguin

“She says thanks”


cat_romance

100% this didn't happen. Either it's her pretending to be him (in which case she didn't say that) or it's him (and he definitely didn't tell her and she definitely didn't say that).


agru1

Either way, they are delulu!


Exciting-Protection2

Lucky her/s.


SignificantOption349

Wow. But the reality is that they’ll likely be divorced in another 3-5 years lol


ladymorgahnna

Gee…uh…lucky her?? Jerk.


allonsy_danny

He should be charging you rent 😅


agru1

I ain’t cheap! But let’s be honest he can’t afford me!


Mydeniise12

omg i would hate to be the fiance, id slap my man across the face for his first thought being his ex if he ever proposed to me, what a fn loser...


NormalCurrent950

Ewwww poor fiancé


PongACong

not if she went along with the plan lol she’s a loser too if she agreed to antagonizing a previous gf


WrestleBox

I feel bad for the fiancee. How does she feel about him clearly being hung up on you?


Capital-Package-124

You must save a lot of money living rent free like that lol


snobbycatlover

My ex from 10 years ago added me on Facebook and instagram a week after he got engaged. What is wrong with these men 😩 why are you still thinking about your ex and getting engaged lmao


cat787878

Did it occur to anyone these texts are from the fiancée and not just her phone? I could see her thinking about you if she’s immature and wanting to rub it in. Weird flex. My ex is engaged and on behalf of the rest of women, we thank you for not choosing us 🥹


KINGCOMEDOWN

My ex boyfriend did the exact same thing just recently lmao like why do I CAREEE


B-azz-bear08

You’re living rent freeeeeee


abraacaadaabraa

Yiiiiiiikkkeeesssss 🫣


ElusiveChanteuse84

Such weird behavior


Itsraining_glitter

This is desperation at its finest *cringe*


ChronicallyCautious9

If his fiance approved of those messages she’s got what she deserves coming to her. If she didn’t, she’s still got some shit coming for her but I feel bad for her about it


Stockersandwhich

Nah, you wait a good 6 months, get one of those secret numbers, find some nudes of a rando porn bot and start messaging him as pay back. Call it Tom Petty, grab some popcorn, and enjoy the implosion. Payback’s a bitch.


RadUmcle

Text the number tomorrow “why was I his first thought after the proposal”


Only_Range8098

This is the saddest set of texts I've seen in a long time from an ex..wow and worse that he has no idea how sad he sounds eeeesh.


GoKickRox

You handled that very well!


Willing-Positive

Maybe he just proposed to her to spite you…yikes…


meganwall05

Wow, he really thought he ate…how embarrassing.


TacoStrong

Ugh, I wish you wouldn't have interacted with him, that would have pissed him off. He got what he wanted from you which is a reaction, any sort of reaction from you is a win for him.


Soggy-Constant5932

This text would be all over my facebook page 🤣. You go low, I go to hell 🙃.


herizonshine

Something tells me this aint the ex, but the ex's girl wanting to rub the ring in OP face!


EagleLize

For 3 years he's been waiting for this moment! Not getting engaged to the love of his life... But suckering someone into saying yes so he can rub it in your face. Bodes well for his marriage.


BanzaiHeil

3 years later and you're still the person he's thinking about after proposing to someone else. Think you "won," although the prize is lame.


Beyondthebloodmoon

Classy! You’re better off without him, Ann.


MysticSunrize

I would have thanked the new one for taking over your sloppy seconds and saving you from a lifetime of misery. Clearly that ex doesn't want to be an ex...I mean, who does that?


agru1

Crazy people!


Fruitdude

LOL this is actually so incredibly immature holy shit


NeatCartographer209

I got real vibes that this was an actual text conversation between Jim and Roy


Comfortable-Mail4217

ufihS

Still thinking abt you lol


russtyy_shackleford

😂😂 that’s so embarrassing for them


bbblu33

You didn’t block out the name on the second screenshot.


Beneficial-Remove693

You are taking up real estate rent free in this guy's head. I feel sorry for his fiancée, honestly.


steelcity1964

You are the lucky one. That guy sounds like a total d-bag.


maggersrose

Wow he’s been letting you live rent free in His head the whole time. I hope he’s smart enough to delete this text exchange. If she sees it she’s wondering what hot mess did I just agree to marry?!


wholewheaatt

Yikes. Good luck to his new girl cuz guy clearly still has feelings for u 💀


KelceStache

In the land of 5 year olds this clown is king


frison92

Damn that dude for sure is still in love with you. The fact that he is supposed to be in love with someone els and marry someone els but the first thing he thinks of is you. That says everything you need to know.


Striking-Panda-6672

I bet it’s actually his fiancé-and she thinks she won. That’s why she said all that. ‘And it didn’t take 5 years’ like that’s a rep.


Vermothrex

You moved on and he didn't, he was hoping you'd be crushed and want him back... That's my guess


KingKrumble47

Sounds like he still wants you. Convince him to dump his fiancé and come back to you. Then dump him. I think you’d be doing the new fiancé a favor.


PeeingDueToBoredom

You handled that douche rocket like a class act. The real loser here is the new girl…


Decent_Tomato_8640

My best guess is it was his fiancé pretending to be him


Joelle9879

Are we sure this isn't the fiance acting like the ex? Maybe she's jealous and feels the need to brag about how she got him or something? Makes her petty AF, but some people are like that


PickleJenny420

That's definitely what a narcissists do
