Ex crossing line at drop offs

6 replies

Hi all,
Hoping for some advice if anyone has experienced something similar.
Myself and my ex have been separated for 10 months and we share an 18month old DS. Ex has contact 1 day every weekend his choice however at drop offs he is insistent on asking repeatedly if I will give it another go, forgive him, date him etc anything to basically try and get back together. He also calls and messages during the week with basically the same stuff, he has also been trying to pull me in to hug/kiss me at drop offs. I have been clear I don't want to be with him and haven't been back and forth to give him any reason to think I might.
I have a non molestation order as there was abuse but I don't necessarily think having him arrested for basically begging for me back is a good use of police time.
Does anyone have any advice on how to stop this behaviour?
None of my family are willing to do drop offs as they can't stand him and he doesn't have any contact with his family for me to drop off there.
Thanks in advance

Have you considered drop off in a public place . Short and swift drop off . Ignore all the texts.
I do think part of it is pushing bathe boundaries. So be very careful

Yes public place.

Police sent round for a chat? It’s non-mol for a reason

Get the police to have a word with him. Better that he is on their radar and that all incidents are logged.

You really can ask police to have word with him. They usually have a chat before anything official happens. They will ask him nicely to respect your boundaries.
It helped one of my friends a lot. Got the unwanted attention full stop.

Thanks for all of your advice, drop off is in a public place however that doesn't seem to be a deterrent for him. Maybe the police are my only option and I will speak to them to see if they can help.

He’s presumably breaching the non mol and even if he’s not it’s harassment and you’re perfectly within your right to report it to the police and they should warn him off.

Is there anyone else who could do drop offs and pick ups in public at least for a little while? Parents? A sibling?
