I have always kept my ex under her real name and no special song, etc. in my contacts, though at times I certainly have been tempted. As I get closer to the point where I will legally never have to interact with her again I'm trying to decide should I just delete/block her number or put it under a special name (e.g. giving a French flair Voldemorte => "She who shall not be named").

Part of the reason for this is she is next to my sister and I have twice almost called her when trying to call my sister. Unlikely to accidentally dial Voldemorte . Thoughts?

Just the opposite for me . I had my WS in my phone as Cheating A$$hole until recently where I changed it to his name. Put a Z or something in front of her name so it moves to bottom of tour list alphabetically. If you date someone in the future you don’t want to have to explain.

I would delete the X AND block but that’s just me.

No need for those reminders.

I have mine in my phone as the "The X" puts her far enough away from anyone I actually call, so there is no accidentally dialing her.

Once, DS is an adult its block city for her on everything.

I have mine under X wife (name). It's at the bottom of my contacts. I got almost 4 years until my youngest is 18. I'm sure I'll block her through text and email then. Shes already blocked on any social media accounts.

With adult children and no need to discuss finances, D or anything, I would just block. What's there to talk about with her? Nothing

I have had stbx under a code name (think slight variation of "cluster b") for years. I don't actually use Cluster B because I don't want to disparage him to my kids if they happen to see it and Google. I've never accidentally dialed him.

I do, however, have plenty of text message evidence that I have submitted to the judge as evidence in my trial. Unfortunately, Verizon does not let you go back in time and change his name. You can change it in the present and going forward, but old text messages will still have what you named him at that time. Part of me hopes the judge asks me what it means 🤣🤣🤣.

While I was still having to interact with him for divorce-related stuff, I changed my xwh's name to 'Idiot cheating fucking arsehole' - I had no other I-names in my phone so there was no danger of accidentally dialing him. Plus it helped me remember who I was dealing with when he would text or call.

After we D'd? Deleted and blocked his ass on everything and haven't had cause to regret it once.

I used to have ex-asshat under something not very nice but it's now just X. Our youngest just turned 18 and I'm wondering if I even need to keep his number anymore.

Haha!! Love it!! May just do the same....

I've done the "Z" thing as well to move him to the bottom. Zasshole, to be exact. His pic is a cartoon devil and his ring tone is a braying jackass, I mean donkey.

We have rare communication and is mostly thru email, but on the very rare occasion the braying jackass goes off it never fails to make me laugh.

The ringtone for mine was the Imperial March from Star Wars

My son was in band for school. My ex was late, like usual. They were playing that when she trooped in. I was cracking up pretty good! She looked like Darth making her late entrance!

I just spit out my espresso. This is brilliant.

I have an android. And stbx's text tone is called "sad trumpet". Think wa waa waa waaaaa.

My response was similar. He declared anyone who would be unfaithful a pos, so that is how I have referred to him, and since D as xpos on here. That is where I put him in my phone. He was next to someone I call often, so needed to go somewhere else like my open 'x' area.

And slight t/j: Congrats Nanners on reaching freedom from the ex! Time to celebrate!

Mine is saved as Scrotum Sweat. His ringtone is silent. All I can think of is 4.5 more years until the youngest is 18.

Mine was saved as Lying Liar Who Fucking Lies for a while...

until I had to cc him in an email to my eldest's orthodontist, and apparently that contact name showed up? The receptionist was kind enough to notify me, so now he's just saved as his initials.

Though I've blocked him in every conceivable way now, I do still have to have some kind of contact card in there in order to block both his phone number and his email address from iMessaging me.

I have to keep the EX in the contact list as we are coparenting. I may have added a hippo as a profile pic though...couldn't find a decent dragon pic.

Never bothered to change it. I don't think we've used the phone or texted each other since DDay. I was ignoring non-divorce IMs and email past then also but that was our primary means of communication through the D. I maybe send or receive an email from her every few years.
