10 Tragic Texts That Prove You Should NEVER Message Your Ex

​One of the hardest things during a break-up can be keeping your bloody mouth shut. There's so much to say (how much of a dickhead they are, for example) but often we realise, with hindsight, it was probably best to just stay quiet.

But if you're still in need of convincing that it's ​not ​the best course of action to send infuriated, emotive texts to your former partner, then have a quick scroll through these.

The 'Texts From Your Ex' Instagram account posts some of the most tragic examples of why any sort of mobile phone-based communication with someone you used to exchange bodily fluids with, just isn't worth it. It's a danger zone.
