My ex
The story
so, like, my ex keeps trying to contact me and it’s super annoying!!! I thought we were done when we broke up a few months ago, but he just won’t take a hint. I even blocked him on all social media platforms but somehow he still finds a way to message me??? like, how? I mean, is it really that hard for him to understand that I don’t want to talk to him anymore? I’m 22 and just trying to live my life; I don’t need this drama!!! 😩
the worst part is, he sometimes sends me these really inappropriate texts and, honestly, it makes me feel so uncomfortable. who does that? like, hello, I don’t want to receive those kinds of messages. it’s like he has no respect for me or my boundaries at all!!! I tried responding nicely the first few times, hoping he would get it. I was like, “hey, please stop texting me, I’m not interested,” but he just brushes it off and tries again. it’s exhausting!!! 😒
I even thought about changing my number, but then I realized that wouldn’t solve the problem because if he finds me on Instagram or any other platform, it just repeats itself. I really don’t want to keep playing this game of cat and mouse! I don’t want to have those awkward confrontations where I have to explain why I don’t want to talk to him... it just feels so unnecessary and, to be honest, a little embarrassing. isn’t it sad that it’s reached this point? 😳 I’m trying to think of a way to cut him off for good; I'm considering reporting and blocking but that feels like a whole thing;
I guess my question is, what should I even do next? has anyone been in a similar situation? I just want peace but this keeps dragging on and it’s getting super old! sometimes it feels like he thinks we’re still together or something and it’s confusing!!! I know I need to stand my ground but all this back and forth is just too much. ugh, I wish I could just turn back time and avoid all of this drama! anyone have advice? please help!!! 🙏

Points of view
hey, I get that you're feeling annoyed by your ex, but maybe you're overreacting a bit? 🤔 like, he might just need some time to process the breakup; consider that not everyone gets the message immediately, especially when emotions are involved
blocking might seem like a hassle, but it's pretty effective if used properly; maybe there's a way he's getting around it that you're not considering?
changing your number could be a last resort, but it does seem a bit extreme; have you really exhausted all other options?
it sounds like a lot of drama is happening, but maybe look into setting stricter digital boundaries and sticking to them. it's not ideal, but these things tend to happen. hope things settle down for you soon 😊
hey there, i totally feel your frustration in dealing with your ex who can't take a hint; it's no fun when someone keeps crossing boundaries even after you’ve made things clear 😩 have you considered using tools like spam filters or advanced blocking features on your devices? sometimes they can be super helpful in managing unwanted communication without having to change your entire contact details
it’s great that you've already tried to communicate your wishes clearly; you’re absolutely right to set those boundaries for your own peace of mind. sometimes people have trouble accepting changes, especially when emotions are involved, but it’s important to maintain your stance for your own well-being
have you thought about documenting these interactions in case you need evidence? it can sometimes be necessary down the line if things don't improve. hopefully, with time and firm boundaries, this situation will resolve itself and you’ll find the peace you’re looking for 😊
seriously annoying when someone just doesn’t respect your boundaries; it's like they don't understand what "no" means?! 😩 i had a friend who went through the same thing with her ex. she ended up blocking him everywhere and even reported a few messages... sometimes you've gotta protect your peace like you're using the best spam filter!
yeah, changing your number does feel like a big hassle, but having your personal space respected is important. it might be a last resort, but still worth considering if he keeps finding ways to contact you. have you thought about telling mutual friends to help reinforce that the relationship is over? maybe they can get the message across when he hears it from different people.
it's tough dealing with all this drama. hope you can sort it out soon and find that peace you're looking for!!! 😊 hang in there!
