View Full Version : Ex being creepy

The guy I last dated, before my current bf, was my best friend of 5 years. For two of those years I was crazy insane head over heels for him. Typical friend-zone story, I got out of it and managed to date him, finally. Lasted 3 days. 3 freaking days. The first day he revealed he was a chain smoke. I'm allergic to cigs, one of my reactions can possibly lead to my death. It didn't matter though cuz you know, stupid teenage girl love could conquer all! Second day, he told me he was bi. Ok, that's fine, then he showed me all of his porn and told me how he was only ever checking out guys when he held my hand. Again, my stupid little feelings blinded me. The very last day, he told me he was full on gay and as gay as can be and if it hadn't been for me, he'd never be gay. This was over text. Normally I force guys to break-up to my face, I'm worth more than pixels on a screen, but it just wasn't worth it. Now we both hate each other, this was about 2 years ago this all happened.

This morning I woke up to 15 text messages. All of them from a number I didn't know. 8 of them said, "I miss you, I miss us, I'm so sorry for everything I did. I'd move boulders for you." At 2 am. Then there were 6 that said "Just kidding, thanks for making me gay! I'm so gay, it's all because of you! Women are disgusting, eew" so putting those together I figure out it's my ex. Now I'm wondering why he still has my number, why those were sent to me, and if I should bring this to the police for a C&D or something.

The last text I'm going to assume is from his current boyfriend. It's really long but to paraphrase it, it's threatening to kick me in my baby maker if his boyfriend texts me again. Cuz you know, I'm totally forcing him to text me.

I'm not all that concerned about my welfare because he has no idea where I live and he's attending college half way across the country. We graduated high school a few months ago, nice to see we're actually still in middle school mentality.

I mainly don't know what to do right now. I'm so like, just trying to figure out what's going on right now. Ignore them? Reply? If I get a mass text of hatred and my bf sees them on the screen, he'll be out for him. No one threatens me in his presence. Then he'll worry about me and I just don't want to add stress onto him. I can block these numbers from my phone, it takes 24 hours though. Their texts will say they go through to me once I've blocked them, but really they'll float away into the cyberspace of nothing.

Well your ex sounds like a real pain in the ass and rather abusive along with his new current boyfriend.

The reason he probably still has your number is because he probably hasn't deleted it. I am assuming we probably all have numbers of people who we don't talk to/even hate on our phone. I know I have a few contacts who I don't really like on my phone and never speak too at all.

The reason he probably sent those texts were to mess with your emotions simple as that he was probably drunk or board and thought it would be funny to torment his ex which is just immature. Either that or he is just stupid. He wants to cause you pain and by saying these things he knows it will probably upset you and get you annoyed.

The EX BF probably texted you again just to be immature and to attempt to scare you and threaten you. Chances are that text means nothing.

My advice would be NOT to reply to the text instead share them with a guardian or parent (I don't know your age) so they can take you to the police because if they are threatening then charges can be pressed. I would also block his number to avoid anymore text messages. I would go to your parents first and get them to say they are going to do something about it then tell your current boyfriend as they you have told him and no secrets have been kept and he doesn't have to stress because he knows the authorities are going to do something about it and you have told a responsible adult.

Bottom line is your ex is a really stupid person who you have a very short relationship with and he is very immature and wants to upset you and scare you.

Therefore ignore the texts, tell the police (as you do have a case, sending you harassing text messages, threatening text message) tell your parents or guardians, tell your current boyfriend just so he knows the situation and block his number and move on with your life as that doucebag doesn't even deserve your attention.

I hope this helped

He's an ass. I'd ignore him. Maybe tell him to leave you alone. If the problem continues then you might want to bring in the police. Good luck:D

Yea, I do need to tell my bf. He's got the right to know. My parents too.

I'm 18 and so is he, so luckily the law here can help me out in keeping him away from my phone. I've taken screenshots of my texts with my webcam. All the info helped (:

My ex sucks as a human really, I'm sort of skeeved out he kept my number after like 2 years. I delete numbers the second I'm done with a person, maybe I shouldn't do that anymore.

You definitely need to tell your bf, if I was going out with a girl and they hasn't told me something like that I would be more upset than angry I'd feel like they didn't trust me enough. Also if your bf finds the guy and sorts him out good on him I'd do the same thing! Just because a guy is gay doesn't mean he can say he's gonna hit a girl, it's the lowest thing any guy can do and in my opinion anyone that does hit a girl or even say they will is an oxygen thief!
