A woman was left stunned when her ex-boyfriend contacted her a year after their relationship ended with an outrageous request to borrow money. Molly Bennett shared a screenshot of the text exchange on social media, revealing that her ex had tried to call her at 1am before sending a message asking for £20 to buy food.
Ex's Cheeky Request
In the text, the ex wrote: "Hi Molly, can I borrow £20? To get some food for today and tomorrow? I'll send it back to you this Saturday without fail." Bennett noted in her caption that he is a "fully grown man" and still owes her money from when they were together.
Social media users were quick to criticize the audacity of the request. One commenter pointed out that he hadn't even asked how she was, proving she is "better off without him." Another wrote: "I hope you're okay, you honestly deserve so much better."

The post prompted others to share their own experiences with entitled ex-partners. One person said: "Mine from 5/6 years ago texted me out of the blue for a job reference." Another shared: "Mine did this after 10 years apart. Wanted £80 to pay for their kids' school trip. The absolute audacity."
When asked if she sent the money, Bennett replied: "Hell no." She explained that she had cut off contact with him to make the breakup easier, but he clearly did not feel the same way.
Life After the Breakup
In a separate post, Bennett revealed that she is much happier single, saying she can "go out without arguments" and doesn't have to feel like she's "not good enough." She advised others in relationships that make them feel that way to reconsider.
