This isn't mildlyinfuriating, this is terrifying

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 90 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] MIDItheKID@lemmy.fmhy.ml 23 points 1 year ago

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.

Is blocking people illegal in your country

[-] Cqrd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 79 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] platypus_plumba@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Yep, always keep those messages coming. They are digging their own legal grave.

This is called "start a chain of paperwork with the police". They of course won't do much to help but it's good for future restraining order proceedings.

Because you're gonna have future restraining order proceedings.

[-] MajinBlayze@lemmy.world 44 points 1 year ago

Also gives the police a head start when investigating your murder

[-] Restaldt@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

*if you are a white girl younger than 30

[-] jocanib@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

*and he's not rich

[-] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.de 63 points 1 year ago

I'd send those screenshots to their mom

[-] venoft@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago

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.

Just mildlyinfuriating? 😳

[-] Dippy@lemmy.world 49 points 1 year ago

This goes well beyond mildly.

[-] weirdly_austin@lemmy.world 47 points 1 year ago

Op please seek law enforcement. At least so they have something from YOU on file. That's fucking scary behavior Op for real. Be safe!

[-] oehm@midwest.social 11 points 1 year ago

The date stamps are from 2017 bro

[-] weirdly_austin@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Haha! Nice, I will never be in criminal justice.

[-] sovietafro@lemmy.world 47 points 1 year ago

Restraining Order... save this nonsense, get a lawyer and get a restraining order... that is not mildly infuriating, its downright dangerous

[-] FiniteLooper@lemm.ee 42 points 1 year ago

This is what inspired someone to create the “block number” feature on phones. Wow. Sorry you’re dealing with this person. Hopefully they will quit this soon

[-] GenderNeutralBro 12 points 1 year ago

If possible on your phone, I recommend filtering instead of blocking. If you can set it to auto-archive texts and not send notifications, then they won't bother you but you'll still have the texts on your device if you ever need them — e.g. as evidence for police.

[-] Tedesche@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago

That's not "mildly infuriating," that's straight-up scary. Call the cops.

[-] dandroid@dandroid.app 38 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] SuddenDownpour@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] donut4ever@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 year ago

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!!!!

[-] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] drummerisme@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Let's see: Denial, anger, depression, bargaining. Everything, but acceptance.

[-] Jesuslovesme@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

If you don't contact the authorities at least make sure lots of your loved ones know about this.

[-] Gerula@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] WiildFiire@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

The screenshots say it's from 2017 but good on ya for being supportive

It's incredibly difficult to take this seriously when they can't even be bothered to spell whole words.

Jesus fuck I am glad I got married before any of this fucking bullshit became possible!!!!!

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago

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.

Until you find out you married someone like this without realizing it.

I'd have to break up with them just because trying to read their texts would drive me insane.

[-] TheMagicalTimonini@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

I wonder why it didn't work out...

[-] phileashog@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

Good lord... Sorry you have to experience this. Massive disrespect from your ex, especially when you've set clear boundaries.

[-] Flashoflight@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Damn take care of yourself OP.

Also… there are plenty of less crazy fish in the sea. Let this one swim.

[-] ilovecarrotjuice@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

“Common”

[-] ninekeysdown@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Reminds me of my ex with BPD…
