He's threatening to tell

[Worrying234]

Hope some people can advise as never been in this situation before.
Been with my partner for 3 years and have recently split up, he's not taken it well but there have been some red flags which have only just presented themselves which have cemented my decision.
One of my friends is not faithful to her husband, once when I'd had a drink (and a rather uncomfortable evening out with said friend) I told my partner as I was worried about the fall out not only for my friend but for the rest of the family
It wasn't mentioned again ,but he has messaged me today calling her a slut and threatening to tell her husband.
I have no idea why he would do this or even want to cause harm to people who have done nothing to him.
I'm unsure what to do, so far I have ignored him and not responded ,any advice ?

I’d warn the cheating friend. But tbh if she’s gossiping about her own affair she can’t be shocked if it gets back to her husband. If she’d rather get in and tell him first now’s her chance. Your ex might be bluffing but he might not be.

Ignore him and his pathetic attempt to blackmail you.

Even if he does it, it's a spiteful lie made up by a bloke who has been dumped to try and coerce his ex back into an abusive relationship, isn't it?

Just ignore. He is trying to get a response out of you. You’ve split up. Maybe block him?

Warn her.

Sorry to hear about your break up.

This is a really shit situation for you...ultimately he could tell the husband and there's not much you can do about that.

He's looking for attention or control of both.

The best thing to do in the circumstances imo is completely ignore him and starve him of both.

Hi all there's no proof I've told him so it could just be denied , I really don't want to get involved as they have kids.
I had thought about telling her but one of her children is always there so it's difficult.

He's been blocked now on every platform,he has her husbands number which is why I'm worried

Tell him this is an extortionate threat and you will report him to the police?

Yeah I did think about that as well @pikkumyy77
