Context matters.
Koriania
Not on the internet. Everything must be black and white with no nuance
Bear1bear
But are they actually dating? Now were asking the real questions! Guys? Guys?
Bear1bear
Please! VALIDATE MY NEUROSIS!
Ardilla05
Ok. But who’s paying for dinner?
Targe0
Depends on what the messages were.
Like if they texted to congratulate them and she texted back a thank-you.
Then that's not really an issue.
But if they were talking about old time, then yeah that's not a good look.
So like all things, context is key.
CedricDur
I'm weird. If there is that little trust why get married? Why even be together? If they think the other will cheat on them because of texts then what? Police them? Police their texts? What if they phone instead of text? Police their phone calls?
The guy sounds like a lil bitch and we don't even know *what* she texted.

From the sound of it, he's just waiting until they get back home to start the divorce/anullment.
mastertmo
I have no clue who these people are and I suspect I'm better off that way
mamavoodoo
I mean it's just a conversation. People should trust each other in a relationship and if you don't then you have no business in being intimate with them. Period.
pinkypiesbutt
Bro needs to un-marry her.
Corrodias
For... sending a text message to an old friend?? Did I miss something here?
txchief11
For posting a private disagreement on social media
Corrodias
Oh. Yeah.
AgainstMethod
The internet people who say people should get divorced based on 10-word tweets with zero context need to have *much* less confidence in their own opinions.
Joedog624
Idk, the way this is framed, I could see why he'd be upset. Im getting either "he's my ex, i told you not to worry about him, hehe" vibes or she is so clueless about being in a committed relationship that she runs to the internet to garner undeserved sympathy. Red flags either way.
martineb72
I mean, it could be an innocent situation, but not likely. Need more info to tell.

So she "Should be" Single ?!

Silent treatment? I would call a lawyer and file for divorce while packing my bags and then get in a cab to the airport.
I would also make damn sure to let everyone we knew know what happened, so that my soon to be ex could not get their own version of events out first.
CedricDur
Tbh yeah, but, we might disagree on which of the sides should be asking for the divorce. Getting that pissy and insecure, and do 'silence treatment' as an adult is some red flags. The woman will not be able to live life without the guy being insecure.
Hukkie
Call it a win-win then.
gronzilla
@John is still learning about rage-bait as engagement hacking
bippityboppitybuttsex
Annul that shit
januarylover
You know, the (fake) text could have been 'congrats on getting married' & 'thanks'.
It's wild how many people assume the worst in this (again, fabricated) scenario, but don't see the red-flag with a partner who you just swore to be with 'for better or worse' not even being able to have a grown-up conversation rather than go into silent-mode. I'm starting to see why so many straights seem to be having a 'loneliness crisis'.
hyjukilo
They already are, he's not wearing a ring. Fake caption/bullshit rage bait post.
vericon151
Could also be a joke….
DoomKitty01
My husband and I also don't have rings. And I also don't think it's wrong to have a good relationship with exes. Not every relationship ends badly so why cut someone out of your life when they're an okay person? That's childish. It the much worse decision (especially as a woman) to date someone that doesn't trust you or is THAT insecure over a fckn text. They're not 16 anymore.
thebonesofmyancestors
The whole thing is probably just rage bait, but let's take it at face value. There's nothing wrong with staying in touch with past relationships. However. Texting them while on your honeymoon? Nope. That's fucking not okay. Massive red flag that a person couldn't put that old relationship down for a few days to concentrate on the person you just married.
januarylover
The text of this fakery says 'texted an ex BACK'. So, the text from the ex could have been 'congrats on getting hitched' & the response 'thanks'. Again, it's fake. But it's WILD how many folk think it's the end of the relationship that a person might text someone they used to date on a honeymoon, while not having an issue with the manchild straight up refusing to even talk. Ignoring your partner isn't a healthy strategy. People are still allowed lives while on honeymoons. Jesus.
DoomKitty01
Okay, that's a valid point. I'm not at all a person that values traditions like that so i may not have thought about it. But you're right, this should be betweed the two and if we had a honeymoon or something I would also have wanted to, ideally, shut off our mobiles. I dodn't consider the special situation, my bad :)
thebonesofmyancestors
You don't need to offer a 'my bad'. I shouldn't have been so aggressive with making my point. And I should have stated that it was my opinion and not some kind of universal truth that's accurate for all people. I guess I fell for the rage bait of the original post and that's on me.
Wapusk
Dome people, we call them "adults", are capable of having cordial relationships with their exes, out of context I wonder if the person depicted is being a possessive controlling jerk? What was the content of the text exchange?
Answering "Hey, our child has a rash" is a different scenario then "U up?"
januarylover
Man this ragebait is such bullshit. Can't believe so many fall for it.
januarylover
Also, kinda scary how many folk see the red-flag in an imaginary text exchange with an ex (probably 'congrats on getting married!' & 'thanks') & not a red-flag in the person you just swore to be with for 'better or worse' giving you the silent treatment rather than have a discussion during a honeymoon.

I know I'm old when I read that and I'm like, "Crashes out? WTF does that even mean??"
MajorNikon
He went off on her. So the story goes anyway. In the age of people posting bullshit to get the attention they missed as a child it’s hard to tell.
FartsSmellBad
"Crash out" really just means "made it know a thing was disagreeable"
yalczero
When did "crash out" stop meaning "falling asleep due to exhaustion"?
Bear1bear
Thats really what it is, isnt it? Youre a newlywed, on your honeymoon, you fucked up, youre now in a fight, and the only thing that comes naturally to you is to seek validation from complete strangers.
SJBSavageInk
Yeaaa... Not on the honeymoon. That's crazy.
FreePalestineAndTheWorldFromIsrael
I feel like this is satire making fun of what some women go through that they have to put up with, just reversed as a joke.
Keru
lol, some people in the comments need to fucking unclench and maybe re-evaluate their need to control what people do.
SometimesOthertimesAnytime
I would be pretty pissed if someone was texting an ex while on our honeymoon.
MenloPart
Dad brought love letters from an ex on his honeymoon with Mom.
In unrelated news, she said they were barely speaking when they returned.
jekath
At first, I was like - why is he so pissed about that? Then I figured, that not everyone knows or gets along with their wife's ex as I do. My wife and I both have children with our ex. I get along with her ex very well. Better than she does. But, that is rare, I know. Just took me half a second.
SalmonTheWise
You have children with your wife's ex?
Bear1bear
Thats entirely normal
UprootedGrunt
There are situations where it would be reasonable. You have kids and the ex is caring for them for some time where you usually do? Sure, makes sense...I can't think of another good reason, but there's probably at least one more.
TheJuiceLoosener
Look, uh, take your reasonableness and GTFOutta here.
Corrodias
Maybe they're just decent people and they are friends but a marriage didn't work out. Yet the majority of Imgur sees this man-child pouting about their partner not giving them 100% of their attention and thinks "there, that's my role model". What the fuck is going on here?
InspiringBadger
I think I did text my ex on my honeymoon. But that's because we're still friends, and he actually introduced me to my now husband. I have a feeling that's not the sort of situation she's talking about here.
thelonepig
Why Don't you think it's the same situation?
SirThumbPick
If the ex was a mutual friend who had introduced them and they were all still friends, it's unlikely he would have been upset about it. Context clues.
AgainstMethod
There's absolutely no way to know which if them is being unreasonable with the information provided.
sailorjurai108
Yeah like what if there is a child with the ex & ex was needing help with kid?? Context missing.
theobstruction
I imagine they'd have communicated their vacation and made their ex they were unavailable for the duration, considering IT'S THEIR HONEYMOON.
Hukkie
Clearly not the sort of situation we are talking about here, because if they just got married chances are they have been together for a good while, and the husband would be well aware that her ex has the kid and might need to ask questions every now and then.
Cebrail
Then I highly doubt her new husband, being well-aware of the aforementioned situation, would be pissed enough to give his new wife the silent treatment.
Context may be missing, but the entire way things were posted and written highly indicates that it was not something easily explainable.
IF it was, I'm pretty sure 'Cassie' would have also added that context.....
LoudBirb
Well... maybe? Some people (yes, including men) can get real fuckin' irrational over ex-stuff.
The commenter is right, we don't have anywhere near enough context to judge anyone involved right now. Plenty of things could put either in the right. Or both in the wrong.
SonicTheHedgehog2
Idk how people eat while upset. I've tried and it's like eating wet mulch
rolliefingers
Were you eating wet mulch?
SonicTheHedgehog2
I don't think so. Last time was chicken tacos.
rolliefingers
My god I'm hungry right now. You fucker, this is your fault. YOU did this.
ChelVanin
I am always hungry and deeply resent people capable of losing their appetite for whatever reason.
snarkybitch
Me too. "I forgot to eat" how?
slopwizard
Please trade appetites with me
snarkybitch
I wish I could
Foodpornaddict
Anorexia, severe depression, significantly elevated emotional and mental anguish. Life will even mix and match your choices. Cant be hungry when youre busy arguing with yourself about jumping in front of a train.
MRWNoDecentUsernameIsAvailable
It... depends on the context of the text surely? Like, if it's to brag about being newly married it would be weird but not necessarily bad
Oatmealman1
good chance she was keeping a backup in case things didn't work out. probably a text along the lines of being nervous and unsure. my ex did that to me most of our relationship.
Blud4BludGod
Whatever the text was, it's hard to imagine a context where the correct response to your spouse feeling insecure is to take a picture of them while they don't feel ok and post it on your social media. "You know what would really help this situation? Shoving a camera in their face to immortalize this moment and publicly shaming them for these feelings."
eronth
For sure, but there's a lot of comments here acting like the act of texting the ex was the sin. Like, maybe it was, or maybe it was just a message to someone your still on good terms with? Making a whole internet spectacle about it is fucking dumb though.
CoalhouseWalker
Counterpoint though: I can't imagine a situation where texting the ex on the honeymoon is necessary especially if it is something your spouse very clearly isn't ok with. Like what could it possibly be that warrants a timely response?
eronth
I mean, yeah it's not necessary, but I'm not going to be miffed at my partner texting people she's close to. The knowledge that the spouse wasn't ok with it was maybe not known before. e.g. Maybe he's usually fine with it, but took offense during the honeymoon. We really lack info on why she might have thought to respond to her ex. Without further info to work with, the mere act of texting the ex is not the issue.
There is an issue with taking his picture and posting it online insulting him.
eronth
To summarize, I'm not saying she's 100% in the right here, I'm just saying without further info it's not fair to treat responding to an ex as an inherently criminal thing.
AstralInfinity
This is what I was thinking...what was the text? If it was like "I'm happily married now...we're done forever and I don't think that we should talk anymore...good luck to you in the future and I hope that you find the right one for you" then it's actually really not a bad thing. The question is what was the text?
SinStar87
why are you texting through an entire relationship that only the step of getting married would require nixing?
AstralInfinity
Listen...I don't know anything about this. I'm just wondering what the text said. It sounds bad off the cuff, tho. I wouldn't do it and it does seem inappropriate but it seems like the context of the text should be known in order to fully appreciate what happened...that's all I'm saying.
SinStar87
I'm not getting it tho, your scenario seems like they're actively texting for the entire relationship with the now husband that's only now inappropriate to do cause the now husband.
AstralInfinity
Not really - what if the ex had just texted her for the first time in however long bc he heard that she got married? I really don't know anything about this but knowing that there was a single text does not give us more information. All else is just assumptions- all I was saying is that more info would be good.
Hukkie
Highly unlikely that a husband would get mad about his new wife texting what is effectively a "cutting all contact, see you never" text. While not 100% impossible, at that point we could start assuming just about anything, no matter how unbelievably unlikely.
Cebrail
You are absolutely correct. But I also doubt a newly married husband would 'crash out' if it was something basic, or if they had a good relationship with the ex, as a couple.
Highly likely that it's someone thats been a problem in the past or the texts were not exactly innocuous.
thelonepig
Why would we assume these things?
FetteredJuvenescence
Ehhh. I don't have trouble imagining that. There are WAY too many "Men and women aren't allowed to be friends. If they claim to be friends it's because they're fucking" people out there. Both men AND women. It's SO common to find people who won't allow their significant other to be friends with anyone of the opposite sex, and are uncomfortable with their partner being friends with any of their exes.
MoePester
Sure... but the implication here is that we're meant to assume the husband is being reasonable and his partner isn't. There's just not enough context. You're saying its common sense that his crash out is justified, which kind of requires that his partner was not justified. What if he's the one being unreasonable?
CoalhouseWalker
I'm just gonna say that I can't think of any good reason to text an ex on honeymoon. Innocent or not you're literally supposed to be celebrating your marriage. IDK why this wouldn't be common knowledge
CoalhouseWalker
Only exception I could see is an emergency situation with your children that you have with that ex
DameDePiques
Do you necessarily have to cut yourself from the outside world during a honeymoon?
MoePester
I mean, it could be something logistical or innocuous. Like you said about shared kids. Or a pet. Maybe they're both still close with some of the same friends, or with each other's family, and there was urgent news. Its also implying that texting someone necessarily takes away from the honeymoon. Does that rule stand for every moment of the honeymoon and with any text recipient? Is it okay to send a text to your parents or a sibling?
