Ex sent me a picture he took without my knowing via WhatsApp video from a different number because I've gone NC and don't want him. What do I do?

He gave me the silent treatment and blocked me so I blocked him back.

I told him I won't deal with his manipulation and attempts to control me due to his insecurity.

I said my piece and was done with it.

He contacted me from a different number and sent me a photo of myself (unflattering). It wasn't a nude BUT we did do some nude video calls.

I feel it was a veiled threat since if he has this one he must have taken nude photos too.

What to do? I want to be cool about it, meet him and make me give him his phone and erase everything.

Woah that sounds so sketch. Taking your pic without permission is wack enough, but threatening you with more private stuff is crossing a serious line.

If I were you, I wouldn't meet with this clown alone at all. He's clearly unstable and might try something dumb. Do you have any guy friends who could back you up just in case?

For now, screenshot his message with the pic as proof. Then file a police report saying he's harassing you after a breakup and you don't feel safe. Get them involved so it's officially on record if he escalates.

Tell your friends and family what's up too in case he contacts them next. Make sure everyone has your back and knows to call the cops immediately if he shows.

This guy lost all trust so just cut contact completely. Focus on staying with people who make you feel good. Maybe see if the law can get his devices checked so you know nothing risky is still out there too. He ain't worth another second of your time or mental space sis, you got this!

I stupidly deleted the photo he sent me. It was just of my face. Still, it was taken covertly. I am ignoring him to see if he sends something sensitive and then I will file something if need be.

Damn, that sucks you deleted the photo already. But I don't think you were stupid - it's a totally normal reaction to just want to get rid of something that made you uncomfortable.

Ignoring him for now is a good call, hopefully he leaves it alone. But don't hesitate to file a report if he tries anything sketchy again. Your safety should be the top priority.

Also maybe tell a friend what happened, just so someone else is aware of the situation in case. And don't forget - you ain't done nothin wrong here, this is all on him for being a creep. Try not to stress too much, gorgeous. Just lay low and take care of yourself. You got this!

Ignore it.

[Asker]

I have.

[Zestyassmf1997]

Good job.

[Asker]

So what do you think, it's just to get me to react?

[Zestyassmf1997]

Absolutely.

[Asker]

Why would anyone think this would make a person want to get back with them?

[Zestyassmf1997]

Because they’re retarded.

[Asker]

Literally. Sociopath springs to mind. We had a fight and he was inse sitive but I was harsh. I was humble, admitted my part and held out an olive branch. Then he got butter hurt, did a whole silent treatment and I said enough. Not dealing with the manipulation. So then was calling and calling. Came to my neighborhood (not my house). Apologized and all these I miss you gifs. I said day late and a dollar short you are too immature.

Now this. I mean he didn't send me a nude.

Why would he take a picture of my face on video call and not tell me?

[Zestyassmf1997]

Who knows? Don’t sweat the details. Especially ones you can’t control.

Love your attitude!
