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.
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
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.

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.

Definitely a "call the police" situation

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.
Also gives the police a head start when investigating your murder
*if you are a white girl younger than 30
*and he's not rich
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.

Just mildlyinfuriating? 😳
This goes well beyond mildly.
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!
The date stamps are from 2017 bro
Haha! Nice, I will never be in criminal justice.
Restraining Order... save this nonsense, get a lawyer and get a restraining order... that is not mildly infuriating, its downright dangerous
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
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.
That's not "mildly infuriating," that's straight-up scary. Call the cops.
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.
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 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.
Let's see: Denial, anger, depression, bargaining. Everything, but acceptance.
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

If you don't contact the authorities at least make sure lots of your loved ones know about this.
This is going to be exhibit number 1 at his murder trial
Consider getting a restraining order

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!!!!!
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.

Mildly?
I wonder why it didn't work out...
I'd have to break up with them just because trying to read their texts would drive me insane.
Good lord... Sorry you have to experience this. Massive disrespect from your ex, especially when you've set clear boundaries.
“Common”
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…
Psycho seems like an understatement ngl
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.
