This is so true. I had an ex-boyfriend decide to start contacting me 5 years after we broke up. We had not been in contact since then, and he just suddenly started sending threatening messages and leaving threatening voicemails. He sent pictures with a gun. It scared the **** out of me. But, I didn't block him and let them continue because I needed them for the proof to obtain a restraining order. I still have them all saved actually and this was a few years ago.

Luckily, they stopped and I haven't heard from him since. I moved last year, so hopefully he doesn't find me or ever do anything again, but this case just shows that I have no guarantee of that being the case. He could pop up at anytime in the future.

Excellent point. The woman needs proof of harassment to show to the police or a judge. So not always wise to block the messages.

Speaking of a long time ago... I had an old girlfriend from when I was 19, contact me (thru email of all things) when I was 40 years old to tell me that she loved me even more and wanted us to get back together. Never mind that I had been happily married for 15 years since. I told her don't contact me ever again.

I immediately told my wife and she was mad as heck at the former girlfriend, but also appreciated that I had told her. The ex girlfriend's mother had had many psychiatric issue so that scared me a little that my ex GF had inherited some of that.

Point being.. sometimes people cannot let go.
