i was friends with my ex (after i broke up with him) who was very toxic and had sexually assaulted me. i cared about him so much that i stayed friends with him to make him happy. during that time, he was still controlling and obsessive
i kept putting up with it because i cared about him. i just wanted him to be happy. i also tried to focus on myself more and try to do my own thing and learn about myself. he kept telling me during that time that i was being selfish, and that i didnt care.
he actually said to me, that i should never be in a relationship with anyone because i didnt put others emotions before my own and because i apparently did not care about anyone but myself. he said some very hurtful words that i believe be may have said because he felt hurt.
that was last night. in the past few weeks he had been very persistent on wanting to see me and always wanting me to not take care of my responsibilities so that i could go hang out with him. most times i would, because i didnt want him to be angry.
today, after i got off work, i was doing some schoolwork in the lobby of my job. about an hour into that, my ex snapchats me and kept persisting that i go hang out with him or go say hi to him, and take a break from my schoolwork.
i responded to him saying that i couldn’t because i needed fo focus on my work. for me, it is very hard for me to be motivated so when i am, i need to be constant with it so that i can knock it out.

he kept telling me that he was going to come to my job to say hi
i told him that i didnt want him to come because i needed to focus. i had to repeat that to him multiple times. he did not listen.
i got annoyed, and i went out and told him that he couldn’t be there and that i needed to go back in and study. he wanted me to stay out and talk with him and he kept saying he had stuff to tell me. i was angry, and maybe not being the nicest, but i kept asking him to leave.
i said it once more to him, and then i said that i was going back inside and that he needed to leave. he told me that he was going to wait for me to be done and he got back in his car and sat there. he tried calling me but i told him over snapchat that i was busy with my homework
he stayed in the parking lot, and i was becoming increasingly uncomfortable. he would not leave so i asked my assistant manager to ask him to leave so that he would. after that, he leaves. he became very upset after that
this is what was exchanged after that.
