I briefly dated a guy from Feb to his year until about early April. It was extremely casual, and totally inappropriate in many levels. I have been in a bad place for the past few months with mental health, and I often take less than i deserve from other people.
This guy isn't a nice person. I have found out since I stopped speaking to him that he would take my card without me realising when I was at his and go to the shop to buy stuff for himself after he said he used his own card. He also made me pay for a lot of stuff as he was "waiting for money". He used to be successful (with money) but after he got divorced he said he lost a lot of it. Nothing against universal credit, but he doesn't have a job or an intention to get one. This all came out in the last two weeks before I cut contact. He was a drinker, and I'm not so it was also destined to fail. He's also significantly older than me. Basically red flags everywhere
Anyway I told him in April I didn't want to see him again and to leave me alone. He text a few more times like "hope you're okay". I ignored it. I am currently seeing a friend of mine that I've had for many years. It's a very slow and early days thing, but I really like him. He's my age, he's motivated and I feel safe around him because Ive known him a while.
Anyway the guy I told to stop contacting me early April has started bombarding me with texts like
"hey text me ill take you on a date"
"text me back!"
"I've changed now I'm not even drinking"
"I've got a job interview today".
When I ignore him on one thing e.g. Text he'll message me on WhatsApp, and if i ignore again, on messenger.
I've gradually blocked him on all of them.
On my phone however is a folder full of blocked messages (that is that they still
Come through but I don't get a notification.) and the messages are just the same thing as above
The thought of him makes me feel sick. I've told him I didn't want contact but he continues to do so. I've tried blocking but he finds a way of texting. The new guy I am seeing (who I have a long friendship with) has told me to lodge it with the police, as he thinks it's quite sinister. All the times I've said leave me alone he just says "oh come on let's be nice" and carried on. I've blocked him but i live alive and he lives very close to me. Im really freaked out by this.
Has anyone got any advice on what to do. I feel scared and alone. I really don't want this guy in my life anymore
