\n<\/p>\n

Couples often show their worst selves during a divorce<\/a>, and that includes mean and angry text messages and\/or emails. It’s not easy trying to figure out how to deal with an angry ex husband sending mean messages, especially when you’re not expecting them.\u00a0 Let me explain…<\/p>\n

Picture this. You are sitting in front of the TV late at night.Your children\u00a0<\/a>are in bed and you are finally de-stressing from the day, trying not to think about work, finances,<\/a> your upcoming court hearing, the fact that you are in this nightmare dating scene now, and other stressors relating to life and\/or your divorce.<\/p>\n

All of a sudden, you hear on your phone that you received a text. What a nice break! It\u2019s probably one of your friend or someone you just met on Bumble. You take the phone and to your dismay, the message is from your angry ex husband.<\/p>\n

It gets worse. It\u2019s a scathing, mean spirited message, telling you how awful you are and how much he can\u2019t stand you. It goes on and on, includes many expletives and it makes you sick as you read it. It is so full of hate, anger and bitterness that you are cringing.<\/p>\n

\"It's<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You get the feeling maybe he has been drinking<\/a> because why else would he all of a sudden, out of the blue send a mean, angry text message? You weren\u2019t even in a conversation with him.<\/p>\n

I hear stories of an angry ex husband or wife sending mean texts all the time.<\/p>\n

Getting a mean, angry text out of the blue from an ex is a horrible feeling. It\u2019s disturbing. It\u2019s upsetting. It\u2019s creepy.<\/h2>\n

How To Deal With An Angry Ex Husband Sending Mean Texts:<\/h2>\n

A person\u2019s first instinct in receiving a mean, angry message from an ex, which could be by phone, text, email or social media,<\/a> is to attack back. Send back a response. Defend yourself. Hurt back.<\/p>\n

But, that is absolutely the worst thing you can do, in my opinion. Here is my advice for how to deal with an angry ex husband sending mean texts:<\/p>\n

DO NOTHING. Do not reply. Do not type one key. Leave it alone.<\/h2>\n

A mean, angry texts deserves nothing from you. Don\u2019t even type something short, like \u201c *uck you,\u201d \u201cyou\u2019re an idiot\u201d, or even \u201cget help.\u201d I know you want to, but it isn\u2019t wise.<\/p>\n

An angry message from an ex is the result of harbored resentment<\/a> that is coming out for one reason or another. The person might have had a really bad day, he or she might be unhappy about something having nothing to do with you. He or she might be hurting, either because of the divorce or something unrelated. Maybe life isn\u2019t going well. Maybe he or she is falling apart.<\/p>\n

So, he or she is looking for someone to blame and who better to do it than the person who ruined his or her life by divorcing them<\/a>? Instead of taking some responsibility for the unhappiness, or perhaps coping in a healthy way by turning to faith or working out or talking to a therapist or even seeking comfort from friends or family, the person chooses to lash out with a mean, angry message.<\/p>\n

The sender wants to battle. He or she wants a fight. They want you to attack back so they can then attack again. They need to release their anger and they are trying to use you to do it. Don\u2019t engage!<\/h2>\n

If you realize that the mean, angry text probably has NOTHING to do with you, you will feel better. I would actually go so far as to say you should feel sorry for the person sending the words of hate and anger. And, just focus on trying to forget about it.<\/p>\n
