Is this text from my ex- boyfriend threatening, or concerned..?

I think he is thinking he is cute.

However, if you are frightened by it, his intent doesn't matter as much. My recommendation is to cut all ties, not talking to him at all (or texting him) if that is the case.
You can even have the phone company block his number from being able to call or text yours, if it comes to that.

You know him better than we do. Go with your instincts. If you feel he is threatening, he probably is. Change your number, dont answer his mssgs and if he gets too annoying get a restraining order.
Some just cant understand it when you say NO.
Best of luck.

change ur number........

Could be either one I'd be watchful. If this guy was "into being in control" that's the sign of a weirdo in the first place that's disrespectful and a criminal position to take in dealing with someone. I'd cut of all contact with this person period.

Ok, wow. Weirdo.


Change your number.

He's trying to get to you, and your emotions, any which way he can.....guys like him, will stop at nothing.....so, please.....get a different number.....

If you have a slight concern for your safety... change your number and don't reply.
If he persist, talk to someone who can help you. Tell your family and friends and take some action.

um....well personally id get close friends too help u and get there opinion

He's being a creeper with no respect for your wishes. He does not honor you, showing that deep down he does not care about you. Change your number and get a restraining order if possible. You know this could be labeled as harrassment and you could get him in serious trouble if you wanted to... at least you could use it as leverage. But it sounds like you are still kinda into him so... I dont know what you want to do.

I think he is just being sweet by telling you that even you dumped him, he is still thinking about you.

be concerned. he does not take no for an answer. he has crossed the line. he does not respect your boundaries. do not read his text messages or reply to him. you will only encourage him to keep sending you text messages. it might or will escalate, especially when he feels he has lost control over you.

if you made it clear to him that it is over then he's being really dumb to persist.

What's important is if you feel it is threatening.
You know him and your relationship with him better than we do. It sounds like you have made your decision and he is not respecting your decision or you. I know it is hard but it is important that your words and actions confirm that you are sticking with your decision. You may still have feelings for him. Even you don't, we all like the feeling of being attractive, even to people we don't necessarily want a relationship with. Turning anyone away can be painful on both of you.
It's a good idea to write down the date when you officially told him to stay away from you then document the date and time of every thing he does after then that makes you feel uncomfortable. Documentation is very important if this goes to court. It is vital that you stand by your decision. If you give in to him and call him or meet with him consensually then everything you have documented up until then is not admissible and you have to start over. Also it shows him your weakness and makes him stronger.
And most importantly, stay safe.

you said it yourself CONTROLING!
