I wonder why it didn’t work out…
Mildly infuriating my arse.
The only future outcomes are wholly and completely infuriated to the very core of your being if the ex escalates past phone harassment to real life.
Or
The feeling of smug self satisfaction of dodging the fucking firing squad when this person leaves your life without further fuss.
I’d have to break up with them just because trying to read their texts would drive me insane.
Damn take care of yourself OP.
Also… there are plenty of less crazy fish in the sea. Let this one swim.
If you don’t contact the authorities at least make sure lots of your loved ones know about this.
This person needs psychiatric help. But OOP needs to call the police and I’d wager that has far more priority.
*Edited OP to OOP, since OP likely didn’t receive these messages themself.
This is more than mildly infuriating. It’s sad this is actually common in our society. People like that need a lot of therapy, not romantic relationships.
Wow, that’s really crazy. You’re gonna have a stalker now, I guess. First question that arose in my head, though: Why didn’t you block them?
Jesus fuck I am glad I got married before any of this fucking bullshit became possible!!!
I have an answering machine’s microcassette stashed in case a psycho comes back to haunt me. This shit DEFINITELY existed 30 years ago, just in a different form.
Maybe consider digitizing that cassette, or at least listening to it to make sure it’s still usable (assuming you can stomach it). Cassette mediums degrade over time and it’s quite possible that microcassete could be reaching the end of its usable life: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preservation_of_magnetic_audiotape
Until you find out you married someone like this without realizing it.
I think they’d know after this amount of time my dude.
Thing is, you don’t always know. This stuff doesn’t always come out until you’re leaving them.
Yeah, I was more thinking about myself.
Ok, that is a potential dangerous person you don’t want in your life. Be polite, calm and non provocative and get away from her. In the end she will switch her fixation from you.
The screenshots say it’s from 2017 but good on ya for being supportive
Hihi, didn’t catch the date 😁. I guess that if is he’s here to post this thing went well for him, he survived 😜!
I think you swapped the genders there. I was thinking the same at first, but the last panel makes me think that it’s a man harassing a woman.
Honestly I think they could be anything because the words are so mashed together it’s hard to make a conclusion …
Never give up!

This person is “mildly” mentally ill and you need to stay away from them and also call the police and get a restraining order. Holy shit!!!
That’s basically it. Romantic obsession can look a lot like mental illness, and definitely feels like it. Being charitable to the guy, he might look back on this and wonder what the hell was going on in his head.
I know I’ve been through a breakup that nearly killed me, and sheer white-knuckling restraint is the only thing that stopped me acting like this. It’s like a bereavement, but you also know the person is twenty minutes down the road.
Or he might have been like this through the whole relationship, who knows.
Yikes…
Reminds me of my ex with BPD…
I have a very close friend who suddenly developed a mental disorder, and before he started his therapy and medication, he did this. And then they called the cops (rightfully so), and they came and arrested him. IIRC, they got a restraining order as well. I can’t say I blame them at all. This is absolutely terrifying.
Luckily he got help and is doing awesome now. He’s back to his old self and wouldn’t hurt a fly.
