While under quarantine, it can be easy to get a little lonely. You may be in a vulnerable state and tempted to send or answer DMs or texts you otherwise wouldn't.
Here are seven people who have reentered the dangerous game of dipping into the ex-bae pool.
1. Villain or hero?
just unblocked and texted my ex “hey, it’s t’ray” and he responded “wow that’s crazy, I still have your contact saved as babygirl… wyd?”

This woman has mastered the art of war with her "get them before they get you" mentality. Many people will shoot off "hey big head" texts, why not let it be you?
2. The social distancing epiphany
“I’ve been trying this social distance shit but I realized I’ve been socially distancing myself from you all along… I hate It took Coronavirus to come around and show me how much I’ve missed you. Anyway I hope you and ol dude doing well. Be safe out there baby girl” pic.twitter.com/yZVjrHqZ2G— I Troll A Lot (@GahDamnNick) March 22, 2020
As he is the king of toxic relationships, you can always count on Future memes to show up when relationship shenanigans are afoot.
3. Silent mode
ugh it’s starting…….looks like quarantine means we’re gonna wake up to a lot of “thinking abt u” texts. brace yourselves and put your phone on silent after midnight!! pic.twitter.com/bkHlDFaYVh— sara david (@SaraQDavid) March 12, 2020
This woman encourages us to be responsible. Prepare yourself and put your phone on "quiet mode." You don't want to wake up to any surprises.
4. Straight f**kery
Day 7 Quarantine: my ex who dumped me because I was going to Wales just called and said he missed me.
I WENT TO WALES IN 2014.
SIX. YEARS. AGO.
This pandemic is making everyone fucky.

Imagine not being able to take a trip without your significant other dumping you because of it. Now, imagine that person popping up six years later. This poor woman had a blast from the past when the Rona caused an ex to materialize. We hope that trip to Wales was awesome.
5. Alias profiles
Day 8 of quarantine: my ex has made a secret snapchat to contact me to apologise for his wrongdoings…from 4 years ago— enna (@ennaguads) March 23, 2020
It's bad as it is getting a message from your ex. It's an added act of desperation to be contacted from a random profile. This young woman's ex seemingly decided to play confessional from a fake profile.
6. The countdown
Day 5 of quarantine: me & my ex have followed eachother on social media

As the days tick on, each moment in isolation becomes more random than the last. Clearly, not everyone can be held accountable for their actions. On a positive note, this woman and her ex buried the hatchet, or something like that.
7. Day 7 without soccer

This one fellow was so hard-pressed for game, he was considering being the object of it.
