I don't even know where to begin. I guess for context, I F(18) have rarely spoken to my ex boyfriend M(18 or 19) in months or a year now. I've moved on and I'm now in a happy relationship with my current boyfriend. Me and my ex, we can call him Dee. Me and Dee met when we were in 10th grade. It started off as a cool friendship and every morning in class, we would converse, make fun of each other, you know, the usual stuff. We ended up dating but ended up breaking up months later due to false accusations of me cheating that a girl that liked him made about me, which concluded him to cheat on me in Puerto Rico and break up with me when he came back from summer break.

I didn't pay it much attention since he was really verbally abusive and degrading. He would comment on how my ex best friend looked better than me and how he would sleep with her rather than me. It was a lot but I stayed because I was a teen, didn't know better.

During my 11th grade year, we ended up trying to work things out again but he ended up cheating again. So I cut it off for good. I have never contacted him until a situation in the summer of 2024 occurred.

He was dating a girl, lets call her Oli. Oli and Dee were dating but it wasn't really a legal age thing. He is 4 years older than her. I don't get into others' business but I said whatever dude that's you not me. Oli added me on Facebook and sent threats and all types of messages calling me a slut and bitch and the whole shebang accusing me of texting Dee, when in all reality, I had a boyfriend at the time and I would never text Dee, I had him blocked on everything and I can't remember phone numbers for the life of me. She soon blocked me after she was done ranting.

Now here's the problem I have...

Ever since Oli and Dee broke up, Dee has been trying to sabotage guys I talk to and harass me. He has put my number on Reddit, I've had someone on Reddit text me and show me the whole thing, it was a whole debate of people calling him stupid and me crazy.

He's released my number into discord servers and has mentioned my age also. I've gotten text messages from people asking for a feet finder, only fans, nudes, telling me to kms, to harm myself, that they're going to find me and SA me, I have it all screen shotted but Im terrified of getting cops involved. They don't help with things like these. I live in a small town so it's already not great. I want to press charges against him but I know it's not going to get me far, I honestly don't know what to do, I can't change my number I don't have a job right now. My mind is in shambles and I feel like this is going to mess up my current relationship. I've asked my family and they're saying I should do it, but my friends are telling me not to.

Reddit, What The Hell Should I Do????
