Funny texts from exes
Exes text each other as if they did not care, and every message proves otherwise. A late-night "u up?", a fight over a frying pan, an apology half a year late: there is something unsaid behind each one, and that is exactly why it is funny.
Why chats between exes make people laugh
Exes share a history that both of them know and the reader does not. So every line works on two levels: what is said and what is meant. The joke is born when the two drift apart.
The best ex stories are not bitter. The characters argue about a hair dryer and a cat, but the reader can tell the argument stopped being about things a long time ago.
The devices these stories run on
Four moves that show up in almost every funny chat between exes.
- A late-night message that goes somewhere nobody expected
- Splitting the stuff, with both using the very same argument
- A message read by someone else entirely
- An ending that leaves the door ajar
How to write your own
Start with a message the reader has seen in real life: "u up?", "we need to return each other’s things", "I’ve been thinking". The opening lines should follow the familiar script, so the turn breaks exactly that.
Make the pause before the turn long, almost awkward: between exes, silence says more than words.
U up?
Her ex texts at 3 a.m. He misses something, that much is true. The question is what exactly.
How it starts
- U up?
- It’s 3 a.m.
- So you’re up
- What do you want
- Just thinking about us
Dividing the stuff
Two exes split their things: a hair dryer, mugs, a frying pan. All calm, until they get to the cat.
How it starts
- We need to give each other’s things back
- Agreed
- You have my hair dryer, two mugs and a charger
- You have my sweater, headphones and the frying pan
- I’m keeping the frying pan
Wrong number
He finally works up the courage to apologize to his ex. Pity her number now belongs to someone else, who happens to have free time and a red pen.
How it starts
- Anna, hi. I’ve been thinking a lot
- I was wrong. About everything
- Especially about what I said at your moms birthday
- Young man, this is not Anna
- Who is this then

FAQ
What funny chats with exes are here
Three stories: "U up?", "Dividing the stuff" and "Wrong number". Each one is free to read in full.
What do you answer when an ex texts "u up?"
In real life that is your call; in a story, the best answer is the one that sends the chat somewhere unexpected. In "U up?" the ex does miss something, just not what the reader thinks.
Can I make a video of a chat with an ex
Yes. Open a story, press "Make my own video", change the names and download a vertical video for TikTok or Reels.
