      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.

        Well the older messages say 2017 but do the missed calls? Newer messages say “today”. It could be the same idiot harrassing sporadically over years

          Not to say that harassment can’t span several years, but I’m guessing the screen caps were taken shortly after the calls. The phone would say it was “today” but the texts from a few days ago would already be dated.

      What makes me chuckle the most is the fact that OP’s psycho ex partner can be either female or male and yet here we are (or at least I am) thinking that the psychotic ex partner is of the opposite sex

          Not necessarily, I am a heterosexual male and my best female friends refer to me as girl. Just cus you get called girl on my side of the planet doesn’t mean that you’re a girl by any means, either way we won’t know unless OP discloses their partner’s sex.

            The psycho ex is being threatening and an asshole, I doubt they’re using the term “girl” just in a jokey and endearing way. Has more of a “you are my girl” vibe.

            Edit: also, the “bitch” and “whore” are dead giveaways lol

              Fair enough, taking this into account, then as the original commenter said, they’re most likely male. But it still interests me how as a collective society our reactions change based on these facts

          Ok fair enough that’s worded terribly, let me clear myself up. What I meant was the opposite sex, why I said it was because I was referring myself to the opposite sex that we do not understand because we aren’t it, which sometimes makes us hate it because we cannot relate to the struggles that they go through

            Okay I gotcha. I definitely think its easy to get caught up in the battle of the sexes, I definitely grew up with intense messaging about generalizing both sexes, so I sometimes have to catch myself before randomly thinking X is doing that “cause they’re a man/woman”.

            I still sometimes fall into it but i eventually met so many different/interesting men and women that I stopped being able to assign expectations to them based on the sex I saw them as. Took a long time though/i think its a lifelong journey. I like that you can identify that it is something you are projecting onto them because you want to but don’t understand. That’s a great foundation to build understanding on
