What should I do about this situation with my ex?

Why not get a new phone number?

Given your description of this guy, he is probably doing all this to get under your skin.

Continue to ignore him.

@OneBadApple Can I? That would be awesome! Thank you!!

@gailcalled I think that Verizon will give you a new number for free if you’re being harassed, and I’ve seriously thought about it, and I’m going to have to if this continues. It just seems like too much work to notify everybody of my new number. Wow. How lazy am I??

How lazy are you? That depends on just how irritating this guy is.

I’m curious. What are his messages or texts to you? Trivial or fraught?

I can send Milo by to bite him. Just ask.

@gailcalled Usually he’s telling me how much he misses me and how sorry he is that he messed up. Every once in a while he reverts back to his true self and calls me everything but white. He is the true definition of a narcissist.

If you could sent Milo to take a big chunk out of his scrawny ass, it would be much appreciated. lol

And as an added bonus, Milo can rake his really long and sharp nails down anywhere on Scrawny Ass’s anatomy you specify.

Stop reading the texts. Repeat after me, “I will stop reading the texts.” Got that? No? “I will stop reading the texts.”

Okay, think this out… He is using other peoples phones to text you. Text him back, hours later, and his friend will read what you write.

“Please stop texting me. I still can’t get the image of you fucking the cat out of my head.”

If he is harassing you in this manner you can still go to court and get a restraining order against him.

Change your number. Who knows a number these days?

A stalker does. That’s who.

I’ve been through this! My city has a number you can call after a number that harrasses you, it takes record of the last number that called you (even if you blocked it) and takes note of how many times it’s called you. You can use this to file a police report for harrassment. Call 411, or information. They should be able to help.

What does he text you? Well, yeah… Change your number or disconnect your texting option. You can always download an app! Also, if he ever texts you somehow, say:
“You’re really pissing the fuck outta me. Stop texting me and go fuck someone. ”
Or, you can just file a restraining order.

I agree with @gailcalled

It’s time to change your phone number or otherwise ignore him.

Another option may be just blocking his number. I have Verizion wireless and blocked an ex of mine. It only lasts for 3 months I think but you can always renew.

Also make sure you block him on all social media, Facebook etc. You can also block his email address on Gmail.

Thank you all for the great (and humorous) answers!

The more I think about it the more I’m realizing that a number change is probably what I’m going to have to do. He was at it again at 7 o’clock this morning.
The only day I get to sleep in, might I add.

@Katniss;

Milo here; I’ve sharpened my teeth and claws, I’m packed and the Lear jet is fueled. Just point me at him.

Seriously, he has so crossed the line that you should get a new number immediately. If he is exhibiting aggressive and nasty behavior in his texts, you should be careful. He sounds scary. Do you have any sense if he is emotionally unstable or just plain nasty?

Just keep ignoring every communication. Don’t give any hint of showing an interest. The slightest give will be taken as a open door. Do keep telling your friends to keep your number private when you change it again.

Be wary of someone who is this obsessed with you. Yes, any response will feed the obsession.

All you can do is ignore him. I made the huge error of reply to a long ago exes two years plus class/texts. He would use other peoples phones or switch his device to “unknown number“etc. Finally, I replied to one saying something like, “I am married not, please stop this.” If I tell you he quintupled his efforts after this text it was an understatement. I had to change my phone number. It may be worth it for you to consider doing so as well. So, no, please don’t answer, and if you cannot tolerate it any longer get a new number. I am sorry for your difficulties with this person. I hope things improve!!!!!
