I had a call from an unknown mobile yesterday for 2 seconds as ended by caller before I even got to phone. I tried googling it and not known at all, I'm the first person to look it up. Number has been calling me weekly since I deleted all my WhatsApp etc. I never gave my ex my new number but is it possible he got it? Am I being paranoid? He has a history of stalking and harassment.

Block it. You know it's him, just block any number that pops up regularly like that.

You know what the opposite of love is, OP? It isn't hate - that's another side of the same coin. The opposite of love is indifference. You will know you are truly over him when you see messages pop up that might be from him and you delete them without even bothering to open them, thinking 'yeah yeah, so what?'

All the time you are wondering and worrying whether it 'might' be him, you are keeping him alive in your head. Don't allow him that headspace, he really isn't worth it. Cultivate a 'yeah, yeah, so what?' mentality.
