Threat?


Question Posted Wednesday March 29 2006, 10:49 pm

SOrry about the subject.

I was online the other day at like 3 am and my ex had IMed me. i brok eup with him about 2years ago. It was kinda the parents fault because of my grades and they told me i couldnt see him anymore. So online he was like hey slut: im like shut up and leave me alone. like half way thru him talking to me he told me if he ever snapped he would kill me. He said when i broke up with him i made him suffer and i causeed him to have no respect for girls anymore. Im like why do you say stuff like that and he said he can. He has a girlfriend right now that he has been with for over a year they live together. He had no trust in me what so ever. We wouldnt of lasted. My question is what do i do about him saying he would kill me? I dont have any prove because the message got deleted. I told my mom.

He lives in a different state. And he doesnt know where i live because i had moved.

Any help would be wonderful thnk.

You could start by blocking him online and just not talking to him. Not too tough. It's *probably* not much of a threat.

I really don't think this was a true threat. If he lives with another girl now and is in a different state, chances are he was probably drunk.....or possibly having some form of psychotic episode...and when he saw you online he decided to 'have some fun' with you. NOT very fun at all.

On most Instant Messaging services at the moment, there are controls you can use to record all of the conversations you have. I would recommend that you turn this on if you do have it, in case he speaks to you in a similar manner again. That way you have the proof. If you don't have a way to record conversations, just make sure you print it off before you close it down.

I really don't think he will do anything, so please don't worry too much about it. I would say that this guy has some serious problems and he's taking them out on you. You can't be the one to blame for his irrational behaviour. Certain things happen to us in life and it's down to the individual to deal with it. You are not responsible for how he took the end of your relationship and by the sounds of it, you had a very lucky escape because he sounds like a nasty piece of work.

Just remember to record any future contact with you and if it starts to become more frequent or if he threatens you again, take the matter to the police, just as a caution and see if he can be cautioned for harassment.

It sounds like he's all talk. I don't think you should be worried. In fact, I think you should feel sorry for him. He's too immature to move past the breakup, especially after he's found another girlfriend(who I feel REALLY sorry for). He's just trying to torment you and scare you. He's trying to control you though he's not with you anymore. You need to stand up and be the strong one here, show him you're not afraid of his petty insults. If anything, showing him that he has no control over you(even if it is your emotions), will tell him you're a stronger person, and you wont deal with his childishness anymoe. It'll tell him that he's picking on the wrong person, and that he needs to grow up. The moment you tell him what he tells you scares you, he wins. And he'll keep it up.

If all else fails, you could always block him from your messanger services, and never talk to him again. Which, I would suggest. You don't need to let someone like that try to intimidate you and try to ruin your life, just because he's too immature to get over the issue.

Good luck.

Hun don't worry too much about this its just silly threats, if he isn't mature enough to just get along with you just as mates then he really isn't worth your time or worry.
I've been threatened like this before, but by bullies saying they were going to brick my window but they didn't have the guts and ended up gettin a slap from me so yeh.. basically hes a coward and isn't over you yet.

I doubt he'd come looking for you but if you're really worried about this just let your parents know whats happened just so you've got that little bit of support behind you.

If you need any more advice feel free to drop me a message in my inbox or email me x good luck

he wouldn't find you or do that, he is just trying to scare you. don't talk to him, just block his screen name and forget he ever existed! if he somehow does contact you and threaten you again, tell him to leave you alone or you will call the police. that should get him running.
