I need to vent. I can't tell my family or friends because they'll freak out.
Why can't exes just stay dead? Not literally, figuratively.
One of my exes and I had a terrible break up. He hit me so I left him. There was no hesitation on my part even though we'd been together for 4 years. He got very angry and claimed that I quit the relationship and didn't even attempt to work out our problems. In the end he threatened to do me harm and I cut all communication blocking his number, email, facebook, etc.
This ENRAGED him and I moved disappearing into the ether. He tried to find my whereabouts from family and friends but they all hate him.
It's 3 years later and at 4am this morning I get a text from an unknown number "B___ has died. Just thought you should know." At first I thought it was a wrong number. I didn't recognize who B___ was. After a moment I realized that it was this kid that I went to high school with, wasn't friends with, and didn't know very well. I was sad that he had died but I was confused as to why anyone would text me the news at 4 am. I text back "Who's this?" and my ex reveals that he's texting me under a new (unblocked) number.
Having dealt with this guy's drama 3 years back I know that any response (positive or negative) is just going to create a problem so I ignore him.
As the day passes I get 2 emails from him, also from a new account. He even had the nerve to ask me if I could get him some free stuff from the place I worked.
What the f*ck is up with this behavior? The last words he ever heard me say (over the phone because I didn't feel safe meeting with him) were: "I don't ever want to talk to you ever again. I mean it. I'm serious."
What part of that is so hard to understand?
