‘Toxic’ ex sent girlfriend 12 rules on how to dance and what to wear – only to cheat on her himself

A woman has revealed how her ‘toxic’ ex gave her a long list of things not to do on a night out – before cheating on her. 

Zoe Scholefield, believed to be from Wakefield, uploaded a picture of the text on Twitter where the unidentified man told her not to ‘dance like a s**g’ and ‘can’t go into anyone else’s room’.

He reeled off his requests after she asked him which bands, from the festival she was at, he would like to be sent videos of.

@Pinky4367 commented: ‘It’s paranoia. He thinks you’re going to do what he

did to you, so he tries to control you. Used to have a mate that did that to his ex.’     

‘Reading between the lines I think he meant have a great time stay safe love you lots eh?’ Rangers Man replied with tongue-n-cheek to the post.  

Ashley Nivens said: ‘Don’t know who needs to hear this, but if your partner

lists even one of those things then you should show them the door. Control isn’t affection or love.’  

Soph1ekate said: ‘Did you have to let him know when you’d FaceTime so he could hide lassies then.’    

‘The fact he sent anything other than ‘enjoy it’ is a red flag’, HarrisonReed77 commented.
