I only changed my number in Dec when I got contract phone so ex husband couldn't harrass me.
Does anyone know if there's an app on iPhone to block specific numbers?Non-smoker since 05/08/20120 -

Please contact the police, he is stalking you and it is harassment. You should not have to put up with it x0

There is an app but only for jailbroken iphones. If you're in contract I doubt your phone is jailbroken.
Delete the messages as they arrive without reading them. The more you read them the more control he will have.
This man sounds slightly unhinged to be. You're going to have to be cruel to be kind.0 -
Don't read them but do keep them - it's evidence against him!
Please go and see the police. Even them having a stern word might help.

Please keep all of the texts and contact the police ASAP. Make sure people know how he is behaving towards you as it is emotionally draining, and unfortunately people like this have a nasty habit of turning all around and making you look like the bad guy. Talking from personal experience here as I acquired a stalker whilst at uni and it was terrifying.
Change your phone number and email address ASAP as well.
Most importantly do not for one second ever contemplate blaming yourself if he chooses to self harm, that would be a deliberate decision on his part and would have nothing to do with you.0 -
I know your all correct in saying phone the police, but there is a reason I cannot until my custody battle is over (which is in 2 weeks). I cant explain here. He has phoned once so far and sent 2 texts. I have ignored them and will ignore any further contact.
I have a friend willing to tell him if he contacts me again the police will get involved. And if he doesnt take the hint by morning I will allow him to give this message. If he turns up I will not hesitate to phone the police.Non-smoker since 05/08/20120 -

I really think going to the police is probably the only way he will get the message, so dont discount it. Your safety is important. Also I would contact your phone provider to see if they can block his calls/texts or give you a new number. Dont delete the texts you've already had, and keep a diary.0 -
Does he know you won't go to the police until your custody thing is sorted? If so, he may be taking advantage of it and won't listen to anybody because he knows you won't do anything...
