Answering a phone call from your former flame's new partner isn't always a good idea.
No matter how much they might hurt at the time, break-ups are a part of life. You're not always going to find the love of your life on your first try, and moving on and trying again is all part of the trials and tribulations of .
But what would you do if you suddenly got a phone call from someone claiming to be the wife of a man you over a decade ago? That's what happened to one woman who was left baffled when she received a call from an unknown number, only to find it belonged to another woman who was to one of her ex-boyfriends and claimed to have some important information to tell her.
In a post on Reddit, the woman said she initially didn't answer the phone because she didn't recognise the number, so she then got a text from the same number claiming they were the wife of her ex-boyfriend - whom she gave the fake names Brooklyn and Jason - and that she'd rather talk over the phone than via text.

The woman called Brooklyn back, and that is when the woman dropped the bombshell - Jason had never gotten over the woman, and it has been a "point of conflict in their marriage". Brooklyn claimed she even went to counselling with Jason to try and move forward, but he "really does still love" his ex - even though they last dated 12 years ago.
She said: "To say I was flabbergasted is an understatement. I dated Jason when I was 19, so about 12 years ago. She was crying and told me how she had always felt like the other woman. So I assured her I had no feelings for him due to our relationship never being serious. We dated for two months. I found out I was pregnant during our relationship and got back with [the father of my baby, who is now my husband]."
Brooklyn's news didn't stop there, however, as she went on to tell the woman that Jason is "thinking about asking her out to dinner" and is now divorcing Brooklyn in the hopes that he'll be able to strike up a new romance with his ex.
The woman said she doesn't know whether she should tell her husband about it as there was some conflict between him and Jason when they were together 12 years ago. But commenters have told her she should let him know because it will "look worse" if she keeps it a secret and her husband finds out another way.
One person said: "Block him and her. Tell your husband. If he asks you to dinner, tell him 1) you're married and don't date other men, and 2) he's married and you don't date married men." Another added: "Block him on everything, then tell your husband. Protect your , and hopefully, your husband will understand and be supportive."
In an update in the comments, the woman said her husband was "a little irritated" when she told him but just felt that his wife didn't need to be involved in a conversation that should be between Jason and Brooklyn. She also indicated her husband was glad she had come to him about it instead of trying to deal with it alone.
