Texts You Should Never Send After Breaking Up With Someone

Maybe you've already texted your ex to tell them you heard your old song, sent a string of choice expletives, told them you missed them, congratulated them on their new relationship, provided a list of everything they did wrong, asked if they still wanted to be friends, complimented their profile picture, and invited them over for a little bit of fun — not necessarily in that order, of course. Maybe they're busy and haven't texted you back yet — or maybe they have their read notifications turned on so you know that they're seeing your texts and choosing not to engage. It's a cruel, cold world out there, but sending text after text isn't going to make it any warmer, friend. 

According to a study by Typing.com, more than six unanswered text messages sent consecutively will come across as "clingy" to the receiving party, therefore making them less likely to respond. If your ex wants to talk to you, they'll respond in their own time. And if they don't — you're probably better off anyway.
