[Glitch]

So almost a year ago now, I was dating this boy. He was very controlling to the point I developed extreme anxiety whenever he texted me. I went into melt down panic attacks if I didn't have my phone because he refused to talk to me if I didn't respond within seconds. I still get anxious when he texts me. He refused phone calls, and I eventually found him posting ads on craigslist for other girls.

I broke up with him, he tried to make it my fault, the usual. Anywho - I found a new boy, love of my life kind of boy, and my ex well knows this. But yet he persists in sending me texts. Telling me how much he misses me, how much he misses doing things together, how he dated this other girl but she cheated on him, etc. At first I tried to laugh it off and offered to be friends, he refused. It became a game of him trying to flirt, me trying to roll it out by saying he could tag along with me and my friends if he needed friends so bad, and him saying "nooo nooo we can't see each other. It would get dirty." (but a bit more R rated)

I gave up one time he just wouldn't let up. I quit responding, I quit wishing that people didn't have to hate each other when their relationship ends. I shared everything he said to me with my current boyfriend. I asked him for advise on how to politely turn my ex away, etc. My current guy has started a running joke about my ex being my boyfriend. I haven't responded to him in months but I keep getting, "yo" "hey" "what's up." In my inbox. I left my phone off for awhile (didn't pay my bill) but that didn't deter him. Today he sent "you suck." I think he wanted a response but I just deleted the message. I've checked with my phone company, and they can't block numbers. I love my phone number, it's the bomb, I don't want to have to change it. I hate the anxiety that still grips me when I see his name on my phone. It leaves me jumpy for the rest of the day, every time my phone goes off. It's been months! I don't know what to do, or how to get over it . . . I'm far too passive to tell him off. I'm one of those annoying types that can't stand people not liking them. Any advise or help or anything? Ignoring isn't working. ;(
