WIBU to ask him to leave?

My ex and I broke up 4 month ago. I ended it and we did 3+ months of no contact at my instigation.

Last week he got in touch, was in the area, could he pop by and we caught up.. I stupidly thought maybe we could be friends.

Saturday he popped by. It wasn't as 'easy' as the last time and I felt uncomfortable. He kept fussing over the cat on my lap as an excuse to stroke my leg, pick off the cat hairs etc

Basically I said it was time he left for the bus and I was tired etc. He asked to stay. I said no but he asked again and again. I stayed firm and he dragged his feet about leaving and kept saying he'd probably missed the bus etc. I showed him the timetables saying he had a few buses left etc. He was just sat staring at me trying to do this intense puppy dog look but it was making me so uncomfortable.

He eventually left and I turned my phone off knowing he'd text. I woke up to a lot of lengthy messages about how I'd cast him into uncertainty and the dangerous night and how that shows what an evil person I am blah blah blah. All very dramatic and we will be permanently no contact now.

I mentioned it today to a friend and she said it was awful of me to make him leave, he could have gotten mugged etc.

For context, he's a grown man. There were multiple bus options and trains or taxis. I live in a city so he wasn't walking off down unlit country lanes or anything. It wasn't raining and was only midnight.

WIBU to "cast him into uncertainty"??

If he gets in touch again or anybody else mentions it, just point out that if he had gone when you'd asked him to go, instead of being inconsiderate and awkward and refusing to go, making you feel very uncomfortable in your own home, then he wouldn't have had any issues.

It's a problem entirely of his own imagination making and I would give him very short shrift for being such a drama llama and having no respect for you, and going when he was asked.

Aww look at that puppy 😍 I couldn't kick that little cutie out. Your ex though, is a chancer and your friend sounds like she needs to grow up.

Well done for getting rid of him.
