broke up with my ex about a couple of month ago, it was long distance. decided to remain friends (i know, bad move) started arguing more often about petty things and his behaviour got more agressive and his insistence that i was dating other men started to really drive me up the wall.

decided to cut him off cold a few weeks ago and recieved 5 phone calls today and multiple messages saying he was angry at my lack of contact and accusing me of being a liar and cheating while in our relationship. proceeded to tell him that it wasn't true but that i'd started dating a close friend of mine (not true, just to get him to back off) and now the ex has gone and sent me photos/screenshots of our previous (private!) conversations and threatened to find my new bf's email address and send him the pics. i'm devastated and feeling sick to the pit of my stomach. i've still got the ex on FB and not blocked him on my phone but unsure how to proceed. do i just block him on everything and move forward?

i want to cut all ties permanently but i fear this will enrage him even more.

any advice is extremely appreciate. oh and we are 25!

Send 1 text saying this.

There will be no further contact between us. If you continue to harass me or threaten me I will report you to the police.

The delete and block.

You have no reason to remain in contact with this man so it is best you cease all contact immediately. If it continues then you MUST report it to the police as it is harassment.

Seconded. He has no right at all to be in contact with you and the police will act if you report him for harassment. Give them a ring on the non-emergency number and tell them that he is threatening you (intending to post private messages to someone else is a threat, after all) and they may well warn him off straight away.

And you have done nothing wrong. You've dumped this knob, therefore you can sleep with the entire Parachute Regiment if you want to.

Are you afraid for your safety, orilla?

Trust your instincts: they are there to protect you.

And yes do cut all ties with him permanently.
