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.

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. 😂

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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 😜!

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
- Honestly, considering the last two texts, a restraining order is only a piece of paper, she should get a gun too unless she can carry a police officer around with her.
  Dude was crazy the whole time but "I'm going to come back and do something" is actually pretty serious imo, and the cops won't act on it as a threat in my area because it is too unspecific, so I'm on my own.

It's incredibly difficult to take this seriously when they can't even be bothered to spell whole words.
- Yes, because only people with perfect spelling and grammar murder people, as we all know.

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

Damn take care of yourself OP.
Also… there are plenty of less crazy fish in the sea. Let this one swim.

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

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.

Missed call Missed call Missed call Missed call
How much is enough for them ?!!!!?????
- Defenitly not 4 missed calles.
  
  Yeah, I know I didn't include all the 91838383928838929292939 calls. Sorry. /s

Wow, im sorry you have to deal with this. I finally got the point across to my ex a few months ago and it was like 2 years at that point, and i also moved to the other side of Canada for work in this span. It wasnt this bad, but consistent.

Wow, that's really crazy. You're gonna have a stalker now, I guess. First question that arose in my head, though: Why didn't you block them?

This is more than mildly infuriating. It’s sad this is actually common in our society. People like that need a lot of therapy, not romantic relationships.
