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 isn’t mildlyinfuriating, this is terrifying
The texts are terrifying, what’s mildly infuriating is that I have no idea what order to read them in because after the first image it’s just a rant so it could really go in any direction.
Right! I went back and forth trying to find the order. I think this person made the right decision dumping this person.
I’m coming back to do something fucker
I will make u so mad
400 missed calls
Rejection is hard, but there is no embarrassing way I’ve reacted to rejection in my life that makes me feel as gross and wrong as I feel reading that.
That’s not “mildly infuriating,” that’s straight-up scary. Call the cops.
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 …
If you don’t contact the authorities at least make sure lots of your loved ones know about this.
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.
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.
Damn take care of yourself OP.
Also… there are plenty of less crazy fish in the sea. Let this one swim.
Reminds me of my ex with BPD…
Is blocking people illegal in your country
At this point I’d want the messages for proof for a restraining order, and also to know that I need to be on the look out.
Yep, always keep those messages coming. They are digging their own legal grave.

Restraining Order… save this nonsense, get a lawyer and get a restraining order… that is not mildly infuriating, its downright dangerous
You might wanna contact law enforcement if he comes over to your house without your permission
Since the convo states 2017 as the date, I assume OP is not the source and/or the issue is not acute anymore.
Thank you for pointing this out. I was too flabbergasted by the sheer insanity of the messages to even consider checking the date.
Probably a repost of some kind. Still. I hope the target of this meltdown could go through this whole thing without problems and be safe.
Well the older messages say 2017 but do the missed calls? Newer messages say “today”. It could be the same idiot harrassing sporadically over years
What makes me chuckle the most is the fact that OP’s psycho ex partner can be either female or male and yet here we are (or at least I am) thinking that the psychotic ex partner is of the opposite sex
8th message middle row; heterosexual relationships are the most common globally.
Not necessarily, I am a heterosexual male and my best female friends refer to me as girl. Just cus you get called girl on my side of the planet doesn’t mean that you’re a girl by any means, either way we won’t know unless OP discloses their partner’s sex.
The psycho ex is being threatening and an asshole, I doubt they’re using the term “girl” just in a jokey and endearing way. Has more of a “you are my girl” vibe.
Edit: also, the “bitch” and “whore” are dead giveaways lol
Fair enough, taking this into account, then as the original commenter said, they’re most likely male. But it still interests me how as a collective society our reactions change based on these facts
This goes well beyond mildly.
I’d send those screenshots to their mom
Maybe not even a bad idea. The police probably doesn’t do shit, but the mom (or dad) might smack some sense into him. At the very least they can keep an eye on him with other girls.
I’ve known a few parents who will straight up tell their kids date to run. 😂
Let’s see: Denial, anger, depression, bargaining. Everything, but acceptance.
