To think he didn't respect my boundaries?

Steve and I have known each other for around six years. When we first met we had sex and although it was good, distance was an issue and he had a child who took a lot of his time.

We now have got back in touch with each other and have been texting daily and video calling most evenings. Things have been going well and there's attraction on both sides.

Texts can get sexual sometimes and last night they did. I got in late and was very tired and told him so. He continued to send explicit messages so I repeated I was tired and to stop. He didn't listen and continued so I told him that I was fed up with men like him and to leave me alone which he has done because he's now blocked me.

Was I being unreasonable?

No you were not. It's bloody irritating how some men think that no matter how you're feeling, you'd obviously be interested in explicit messages etc🙄🤨

And now you need to block him so he can’t contact you again when/if he unblocks you.

The fact that he blocked you just because you wouldn't be drawn into his sexual messages tells you all you need to know.
He only wants you for one thing.
I think you've dodged a bullet - agree with above - block him before he can contact you again.

Men that don't understand no or stop should be binned.

Block him.

The conversation by text went like this;

Him: explicit message

Me: please stop. I'm tired.

Him: explicit messages

Me: I asked you to stop

Him: explicit message

Me: you're not listening to me. I'm tired of men like you. Leave me alone and don't text me again.

He'd tried to talk dirty during our earlier video chat but I laughed at him and told him I was far too tired for that.

It's never unreasonable to tell someone you don't want their sexual advances, whether those advances are in person or by text.

By refusing to respect your clear instruction to stop, and then by blocking you when you made it clear you weren't interested, he's revealed that he thinks he has a right to your sexual attention whenever he wants it, whether you like it or not. He's a nasty piece of work and you are well rid of him. Block him now in case he unblocks you and tries to wheedle his way back into your affections. He's a wrong'un.
