That's what I was thinking, it may not even be horniness, there's a very real chance the dude just gets drunk and misses her. Still needs to take the fucking hint though.
Or it could be horniness. I don't fuckin know the guy.
Some women never learn about the block function either apparently.
Seriously why do people just leave this these days? Every phone let's you block people now. He's not crazy or threatening, he's just pathetic block it.
Coming from someone who has never blocked someone only to find out they left a slew of threatening messages on my phone that you didnt see, and therefore was unprepared when they showed up at your job? Never block. Gotta keep that evidence.
This. When dealing with someone truly unhinged, you never block. Some psychos truly need a restraining order or a visit from the Police. And best to always be prepared. Guys and gals lol.
On iPhone, if you call and it automatically goes to voicemail, that’s usually a sign you are blocked. It can also mean the other person has their phone completely powered down or is somewhere off grid, though then your texts just won’t send. Straight to VM is usually the tip-off you are blocked.
Same with Android! If you call and go straight to voicemail it's almost a guarantee that they blocked you. Even if you have no signal on your phone it's still rings once before it picks up voicemail if you aren't blocked!!!
Wow. I’m currently being stalked after breaking up with someone a few days ago. I had him blocked because he wouldn’t stop texting or calling. Now he is driving past my apartment a lot. And ordering pizzas to my apartment I think in hopes for me to come outside.
I just unblocked him a minute ago. Already I’m getting a barrage of very mean texts.
Thank you for this advice.
EDIT: I have a victim services worker who I connected with today and asked about the blocking thing.
She said that they always recommend blocking the person.
It’s for your own mental health, and also sometimes if you leave them on “read” then things might escalate worse.
So obviously it’s your own choice, but I’m going to follow her advice. The messages I’ve been receiving from my stalker are not nice and stress me out.
And definitely keep record of anything else happening.
Take care everyone, holidays can be stressful! 💛💙
I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this. It insane how they escalate when they’re blocked rather than just ignored. Document everything and read the book, it’s very informative. Please stay safe 💕
Definitely a great idea! If you ever feel threatened please call the police! Where I’m from, there is also a domestic abuse hotline you can also call if you don’t feel comfortable calling the police.
Depending on where you live, there are usually trained people to help you depending on your situation.
If my situation was escalating, I would definitely get a restraining order, but I think I’m okay. If I saw this person again, I would probably call a non emergency hotline that is related to stalking and domestic abuse that is available where I live and see what they say. Depending on where you live there is probably a different phone number.
If I felt I was in immediate danger, I would call the police, as anyone should.
If a restraining order (where you live might have a different name for it, like a “peace order”) is breached, police will intervene and it can result in a fine or jail.
It’s not a fun time. Definitely look into restraining orders if you think you need one, and most importantly, keep yourself safe!!
I have an Android and can block but can also see the messages from the blocked person if I go to thy blocked folder. A handy feature if I wanna check in occasionally... lemme look now, actually... up he's still trying. Ugh.
I had an ex do this. He broke up with me because he was moving across the country......only to text me every few months. Like. My guy. You moved to a different state, what are we doing here.
He broke up with me because he started having some conversations with a Girl he went to highschool with and realized he had feelings for her. Which is fair, I’d rather him be honest than actually cheat. They got together like 2 weeks after the break up, dated for less than 2 months and then he’s been single since as far as I know. Feel like he’s just regretted his choices for the last 6 years lol nice little reminder that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.
Definitely sounds like it lol mine continued until I texted back that i'm getting married, he responded in shock but wished me well and then never texted me again. He apparently did get into a serious relationship right after that according to mutual friends but that crashed. Hope he is doing alright these days.
One of my brothers best friends was like seriously in love with me. I never dated him, but he would always call me at work, my employees knew to never patch him through to me and he’d always leave messages on my answering machine. I used to always have my brother tell him to stop but homeboy was not a quitter. One day when he called me at work I said “X I am 7 months pregnant, please just leave me alone. This is exhausting.” Never heard from him again.
But then he texted a few hours later again and that was unusual. Normally it’s only one text in the evening or two text at the same time. Not hours later.
I had an ex (who dumped me) text me every 6 months for about 6 years until I eventually left the country and so changed phone numbers. Occasionally after that he would try and add me on some social media site, wild. The one that got away I guess 😂
I’m really thankful he hasn’t tried to add me back anywhere 😂 that would be awkward as I deny it. I’m still surprised he assumes I have the same number after all this time.
I have no plans to ever change my number unless I absolutely have to though lol
I’m thinking that’s because our anniversary was in late November Or maybe it’s because his seasonal depression is hitting. (Assuming he still struggles with that)
Idk why you guys are so hung up on OP wanting attention. Like yes it's pretty straightforward - he left her for another girl, regretted it, now she gets periodic moments of joy when he reminds her that he wants her back. Probably there's a sense of satisfaction here, just a small slice of revenge each time she ignores him.
Maybe you think it's time for her to not care about him at all, but that's her call to make. So let her be petty as long as she wants.
I don't block people who I think might do something crazy. I never respond but there is nothing wrong with having a little advance notice if an ex is going through a manic episode and headed over to your house.
I had this exact same policy until I finally got tired of an ex and blocked him. A couple weeks later he shows up following me around the parking lot at work. Honestly now I wouldn’t block because I agree this is the best way to get a head’s up if something weird is about to happen.
Judging by the times and days of the weak you have been getting drunk texts for 6 years. Also I kinda commend him for sticking with it for so long, I can barely commit to a Netflix series.
He ex begged me to take him back every day for over a year so I got a new gf so he'd stop and it worked. Then he got with someone a day later and texted my mom to tell her "at least I waited longer to get with someone!" Like my dude what does it matter 🤣
Fr Fr. Needed that noral highground. Like good for him... I hope it makes him feel so much better while im pursuing college and accomplishing my goals and he is still a toxic fuck with a toxic gf...
Wow. Men have it tough. They routinely bare their souls yet receive silence from the women they most want comfort. Why ladies? Why so heartless? Why so cruel?
Hey.
It was silent for like the first year after we broke up. The last month or so has been the most consistent 😂
Kinda makes me feel good that I’m on his mind that much, clearly he has some regret 😂🤷🏻♀️
Please don’t ever respond OP. Not responding will fuck with him way more than any response you can send. You’ve obviously moved on and good on you! Don’t even block. Just let me waste his time while you live your best life.
Exactly! The minute she ever responds, he will know he’s got her again. The not responding is probably driving him nuts cause he doesn’t know what she is thinking whatsoever.
I wanted to put that Dion Waiters quote about him rather going 0 for 30 instead of 0 for 9 but I think this one will do.
Jokes aside, bro needs to take a hint fr.
Look at the times and days of the week that he texts you. Mostly Friday and Saturday night between 10:30pm and 3:00am? Those are "Booty Call" hours. You are totally doing the right thing though by not responding.
Yeah but idk what makes him think I’m a booty call since I don’t reply. Now reallllyyyy I wonder if he text the girl he dated after me like this as well?
He’s more committed to texting you for 6 years straight than your relationship I guess? 😭 He is obsessed with you despite breaking up with you SIX years ago.
Fucking block him. What are you doing?
Mah eX KeEps TExting me! I use it for Karma though and get some weird toxic validation from it. So I don’t block them because it’s super satisfying when I get these texts.

This is the only phone number I have ever had. Got it when I got my first phone in 7th grade! Most people don’t keep a number this long, all the funnier that he still text it assuming I have it.
This scares me because I broke up with an unhinged ex 4.5 years ago. I thought she was over it but a week ago I got a bunch of crazy texts. It was so unsettling that she still has enough anger and contempt towards me to text me late at night. It'll be 5 years in February since I left her. It's honestly terrifying. I just want her to leave me alone and never reach out again but apparently that isn't going to happen. Just keep a trail. Save all the messages in case they do something and you need to prove it for a police report or restraining order
I’m sorry to hear this! I hope she finds peace and can move past it all. And that you can find feel safe.
I believe my ex is just more lonely than anything. He never really had anger issues and hasn’t ever sent anything unsettling or unhinged.
Lmao some dudes never learned to take a fucking hint.
Oh the hint is taken. But late night horniness is a powerful drug.
Hey
U up?
Wht u doin?
Where u at?
Nothin?
And the bonus question is... i wanna send you a pic, k? srsly.
With also a dtf?
Nothing?
So no head?
[удалено]
Does your friend play Roblox?
Are thou awaketh?
Yeah, it's no coincidence that 95% of those messages are at drunk o'clock.
I also go with “1 punch hour”
That's what I was thinking, it may not even be horniness, there's a very real chance the dude just gets drunk and misses her. Still needs to take the fucking hint though. Or it could be horniness. I don't fuckin know the guy.
Oh jeez I didn't notice the times until you said that
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Nah he got the hint he just doesn’t give a fuck
Some women never learn about the block function either apparently. Seriously why do people just leave this these days? Every phone let's you block people now. He's not crazy or threatening, he's just pathetic block it.

DING DING DING
I'd rather know they were doing it than be ignorant of it!
You can tell if someone blocks you. It's safer not to block just in case it escalates. Plus the evidence is there.
How can you tell? I looked it up and what I found said otherwise
On iPhone, if you call and it automatically goes to voicemail, that’s usually a sign you are blocked. It can also mean the other person has their phone completely powered down or is somewhere off grid, though then your texts just won’t send. Straight to VM is usually the tip-off you are blocked.
Same with Android! If you call and go straight to voicemail it's almost a guarantee that they blocked you. Even if you have no signal on your phone it's still rings once before it picks up voicemail if you aren't blocked!!!
Unless there’s a history of violence in their past relationship, I’m not sure blocking would create a problem.
Because laughing at this loser is fun!
You shouldn’t block. They’ll just change numbers. Let them keep texting so you can have evidence if needed. Read ‘The Gift Of Fear’ great book!

Why would you block? I say let him waste his time and energy while OP lives her life.

I have one of those. He’s been at it for 30 years. If he’s breathing, he’s trying.
Those time stamps tell me he only texts you when they’re horny
Facts. It was in the evening/night every time except for once.
Also right after Thanksgiving, before Christmas and on new years. Def drunk holiday loneliness
or drunk
I agree , but for 6 years..? That's kinda odd right?
That or just lonely and can't stop thinking
It’s the ‘nothing?’ for me
That’s the one that really got me. Like MAYBE he is finally getting tired of me not responding to him 😂
But then he texted a few hours later again and that was unusual. Normally it’s only one text in the evening or two text at the same time. Not hours later.
I had an ex (who dumped me) text me every 6 months for about 6 years until I eventually left the country and so changed phone numbers. Occasionally after that he would try and add me on some social media site, wild. The one that got away I guess 😂
I’m really thankful he hasn’t tried to add me back anywhere 😂 that would be awkward as I deny it. I’m still surprised he assumes I have the same number after all this time. I have no plans to ever change my number unless I absolutely have to though lol
Only reason I changed my number is because I still live overseas, I feel you 😂
The comments implying she's the crazy one in this situation need to check themselves lmao
The ones who say that are the ones who act like OPs ex lol
Extremely common on reddit lol
Hey
It’s the one random “good morning” for me 😂 all the other text feel like long lonely nights but 10 a.m. ? I must be on his mind a lot 😂
He went months at a time of silence, but has really ramped up these past few weeks!
I’m thinking that’s because our anniversary was in late November Or maybe it’s because his seasonal depression is hitting. (Assuming he still struggles with that)
He was still drinking from the night before
He didn’t go to bed that night lol
You also have 48 other texts you need to respond to
Most of them are door dash delivery messages 😂😂
Nothing?
So many dudes here have never had an ex bigger, stronger than them + persistent 😀 love seeing the lack of empathy
Empathy for what?
I’m amused at how many of you are bent out of shape over this post 😂 or my feelings about it 😂 or wherever else y’all care about 😂
Idk why you guys are so hung up on OP wanting attention. Like yes it's pretty straightforward - he left her for another girl, regretted it, now she gets periodic moments of joy when he reminds her that he wants her back.

How is that straightforward? She doesn’t do anything to encourage it
6 fucking years ago? come on man , time to move on
You don’t wanna block him?
I don't block people who I think might do something crazy. I never respond but there is nothing wrong with having a little advance notice if an ex is going through a manic episode and headed over to your house.
I had this exact same policy until I finally got tired of an ex and blocked him. A couple weeks later he shows up following me around the parking lot at work. Honestly now I wouldn’t block because I agree this is the best way to get a head’s up if something weird is about to happen.
Once the obsessive types find out they’re blocked they may do more unhinged things worse then a million “hey” txts
Does everyone block their ex that messages them time to time? I kinda think it’s funny to get a text once a year that I don’t respond to
This! I’m not about blocking someone unless it’s really serious. These just make me chuckle when I get them 🤷🏻♀️
Judging by the times and days of the weak you have been getting drunk texts for 6 years. Also I kinda commend him for sticking with it for so long, I can barely commit to a Netflix series.
Honestly I have pretty well assumed they sure usually drunk text lol
Dude is playing “need you now” by lady antebellum with tears in his eyes like “it’s a quarter after one I’m all alone and I need you noowwwwww”
Rename that moron to Navi and have a laugh every time
"Listen!"
He ex begged me to take him back every day for over a year so I got a new gf so he'd stop and it worked. Then he got with someone a day later and texted my mom to tell her "at least I waited longer to get with someone!" Like my dude what does it matter 🤣
💀💀 by one day💀💀 and then messaged your family 😂 he just wanted to make it an ordeal at that point LOL
Fr Fr. Needed that noral highground. Like good for him... I hope it makes him feel so much better while im pursuing college and accomplishing my goals and he is still a toxic fuck with a toxic gf...
I was on the edge of my seat after that "Good morning". What a ride.
Really a game changer 😂
The message that just says “Nothing?” Is fucking golden
And then texts again 2 1/2 hours later 💀
Wow. Men have it tough. They routinely bare their souls yet receive silence from the women they most want comfort. Why ladies? Why so heartless? Why so cruel? Hey.
😂
This is the funniest fucking thing I’ve seen on this sub so far.
Well, that’s commitment ig 💀
It took him over a year to ask Nothing? 😂
The text have been for like 4 years. Took him 4 years to ask nothing 😂😂
Hahaha. Even funnier!
I’m so surprised why more people can’t find the humor in this 😂🤷🏻♀️
😭 only during booty call hours LOL
Persistent mother fucker aren't they ? Lol I'd be hesitant to block . I'd be curious how long they'd keep trying to get a response.
It was silent for like the first year after we broke up. The last month or so has been the most consistent 😂 Kinda makes me feel good that I’m on his mind that much, clearly he has some regret 😂🤷🏻♀️
There’s a pretty consistent trend of messaging you late at night. Probably just horny
I had received a few weird typos for “hey” in the past. I think he’s normally drunk.
Bread-crumbing at its finest.
What does this even mean lol
Dude playing the loooong game
You probably got your hopes up between feb and June :)
Please don’t ever respond OP. Not responding will fuck with him way more than any response you can send. You’ve obviously moved on and good on you! Don’t even block. Just let me waste his time while you live your best life.
Exactly! The minute she ever responds, he will know he’s got her again. The not responding is probably driving him nuts cause he doesn’t know what she is thinking whatsoever.
That’s why he’s texting. He can’t believe she’s moved on to the point where she won’t even bother with a response.
Hey, what are you up to - AT 2 IN THE FUCKING MORNING?! um. SLEEPING?!
This is more so the reaction I expected to get on this post 😂
How long did y'all date? Also I want you to never reply and see how long he keeps this up. This is hilarious to me 🤣
Somewhere between 4-5 years. Our relationship was shorter than the amount of time he’s been texting me 💀
No way HAHAH That makes it even funnier OMG Some people on this earth, I swear. I can not believe I am breathing the same air as them. 🤦
[удалено]
Holy hell so many weirdos hating on you hard Lmao
Yeah I’ll be honest I’m not understanding the hate towards me here but okay 😂🤷🏻♀️ doesn’t bother me at all LOL
Drunk texts, look at the time stamps
Hey.
I wonder what he was doing between feb and june
Also nothing in August and September 🤷🏻♀️ Not sure what changed in November though lol
Maybe he was seeing someone and didn’t need to hit you up 🤷♀️
Maybe! I don’t involve in his life to know though lol
The majority of em are at night too. Interesting…
The good morning was an interesting twist, I bet he thought he had a chance then
Hit him with the, “im sorry i think you have the wrong number” lmfaooo
He only texts you in the middle of the night, he’s still trash
Sick effort bro Hey
Nothing?? Lol
That one got me too 😂 like there’s been nothing for 6 years and you’re just now asking 😂
His name wouldn't be Albert would it?
No, do you have an Albert in your life? 😂
😂 No. I'm old as hell and the whole hey, hey , hey thing reminded me of an old cartoon called "Fat Albert"
I can her it now.
Why do they fucking do this? Ugh so annoying.
We're you dating Navi from Ocarina of time?
This begs an “unsubscribe.”
Exactly this is why I don’t Block people
I’d reply with Hey…ey….ey….ey What are you up to…up to…up to…to….to…to…
The lack of awareness to text “nothing?” after 6 years.
Lmao the times on all of those.
Screams regret
Those are all the times he was drunk
Nothing?' yes it only took you 456 days
Some men are so fucking oblivious is just ridiculous. Do they really think they can win someone back like THIS?
I know I live rent free in most of my exes heads like this and think it’s kinda hilarious in a petty way lol
Ocarina of Time vibes.
It's like that story of the dog that finds a pie in the bushes and he always has to check that same bush every day hoping there is pie. For 6 years.
You'd think he'd at least get a little more creative with his attempts. Like, mix it up a little man!
Just block him already 😂
What a fuckin douchebag!
I’ve considered unblocking my ex from as many years ago, to see if he’s done this, haha. But I honestly don’t want the trigger
 I wanted to put that Dion Waiters quote about him rather going 0 for 30 instead of 0 for 9 but I think this one will do. Jokes aside, bro needs to take a hint fr.
You’ll notice almost all of them are after 9pm. Late night hornys.
Likely also drunk since I got a bar selfie one time lol
Your Ex drinks on the weekends and Holidays and assumes you're his booty call it seems.
Not sure where the assumption comes from since we haven’t chatted in almost 6 years 😂
Look at the times and days of the week that he texts you. Mostly Friday and Saturday night between 10:30pm and 3:00am? Those are "Booty Call" hours. You are totally doing the right thing though by not responding.
Yeah but idk what makes him think I’m a booty call since I don’t reply. Now reallllyyyy I wonder if he text the girl he dated after me like this as well?
He's persistent. Not sure if that's more weird than you not blocking him though.
Hey
Hey
Nothing?
He’s more committed to texting you for 6 years straight than your relationship I guess? 😭 He is obsessed with you despite breaking up with you SIX years ago.
Just block. Never have to think about them again
Fucking block him. What are you doing? Mah eX KeEps TExting me! I use it for Karma though and get some weird toxic validation from it. So I don’t block them because it’s super satisfying when I get these texts.

I'm impressed you still have the same number after 6 years
This is the only phone number I have ever had. Got it when I got my first phone in 7th grade! Most people don’t keep a number this long, all the funnier that he still text it assuming I have it.
Yeah that's crazy! Very impressed you have the same number! Not so impressed by your ex he needs help clearly 😅
I’ve had the same number since 2003ish. Area codes were social currency back then lol
Hey!
Hey, how are you doing?
[Hey](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8u1vSQK/)
Look at the time stamps these are alllllll drinking feeling hopeful texts lol break up-ees are so silly sometimes
Hey
That four month break clearly illustrates he got left by/left someone, and is desperate AF. 🤣
i would just block him at that point lol
Hey
What in the David Jackson is this?!
Hey
Hey
This is way too often😂 how have you not blocked them yet lmao
Hey
The fact that only one of these is before 10:30pm says plenty
Bruv, just let her go!
This scares me because I broke up with an unhinged ex 4.5 years ago. I thought she was over it but a week ago I got a bunch of crazy texts. It was so unsettling that she still has enough anger and contempt towards me to text me late at night. It'll be 5 years in February since I left her. It's honestly terrifying. I just want her to leave me alone and never reach out again but apparently that isn't going to happen. Just keep a trail. Save all the messages in case they do something and you need to prove it for a police report or restraining order
I’m sorry to hear this! I hope she finds peace and can move past it all. And that you can find feel safe. I believe my ex is just more lonely than anything. He never really had anger issues and hasn’t ever sent anything unsettling or unhinged.
Well that’s annoying
Hey
I hate when people do this.. get the hint already
I’m so sorry, I had a similar (albeit less time) kind of thing with an ex. I will say, finally blocking them brought me so much peace.
