I have a solution for this, and it can be used for anyone, not just ex's.

I have had the same number for years (it hasn't changed since they phased out analogue phones). Why should I change my number because someone I don't want to talk to may call me?

I have never used voicemail, and I never intend to. So I setup a contact called SPAM. When I get a call from a telemarketer (not very often), or someone I don't want to be able to contact me like an ex, I add that number to the SPAM contact. I have the SPAM contact set to ALWAYS go to voicemail. The phone doesn't even ring.

Boom, no more random calls from people I don't want to talk to.

This used to be a little easier on older versions of Android, where they had a call blocking feature built in, but my current phone doesn't have that feature. This is the only reason why I came up with this solution.

I get these 'Scam Likely' calls multiple times a week, sometimes multiple times a day. This wasn't the case just a few short years ago. I would NEVER receive them.

Is this pretty common now?

This just happened to me on Monday, after 3 months of radio silence.

Result: She's getting laid this weekend.

That's great!

Once my last relationship was over, I took it upon myself to annihilate every possible avenue she might try to contact me through. More over, I was a drunk back then and thought I might try to contact her one night when I was desperate and shitfaced. I'd commonly black out or fly off into some psychotic rage of indignation and depression. In the process, I dropped most social media and I feel I'm better off for it. Don't have the same phone number either, and she was blocked on my previous one.

When it comes to that shit, burning bridges and cutting people off, I have the heart of a fucking lion.

As a super-ghost, I used to change my disposable tracfone and phone number about every 3 months. Now with my iPhone, I just block.

TLDR; woman uses a potentially dying animal to extort me.

My ex-gf got the dog in the separation, partly because I was forced to move where no pit mixes are allowed. (I know, I know). Plus, the dog got the run of 6 acres, where else she would have to be locked up 13+ hours a day due to my work 4 days a week.

This was 8 months ago. I got a call yesterday that my beloved dog was sluggish and was having trouble breathing. Long story short, the dog was brought by my ex into the dog ED, and it was discovered that she ate a fox tail plant, and likely had the barbs in her mouth, esophagus, and perhaps trachea. I get a text that the procedure would be about 800 to get them all out, maybe more.

Ex stated that they needed 50 percent up front to start the procedure. I love that dog more than most humans, so I transferred money into the exe's account to get the procedure started. Result was 40+ foxtails removed from the mouth and esophagus of the dog.

I get another text from the ex while I am on shift in the emergency department stating that she would have to apply for vet credit due to them wanting to bill appropriately, and probably get denied.

As a nurse, I understand this.

I called to settle the bill in full with my credit card after googling the clinic's number because I did not trust the ex.. Spoke to the clinic...ex gf had not given a dime of the 400 I sent her to before the procedure started. I had them send me an invoice, with the intention to pay the remainder after the email was sent to me with a screenshot of the itemized bill.

I had the staff run her card with the condition that the dog is held hostage until payment by the ex is made, which is what the vet intended anyway. I paid the difference after the transaction is complete.

Turns out the ex gf planned to pocket the money and have me pay 50 percent and she would have had a bill forwarded to collections...like she cares, her credit sucks.

Turns out she would use her "reason for living" to extort me for money, even when the dog is in legitamit distress.

Currently looking for a new place to live, a dog walker, and a plan to kidnap back the dog.

Mine says ‘selfish cunt’. T-mobile knows what’s up. Luckily haven’t seen it in a while.

Thankfully I blocked her on facebook and deleted her number

Only on Android

Holy fuck this is relevant. Thanks for the wake up call from reality!

RichardSGVIP · 2018-05-05T12:09:19+00:00

Hahhahaa. Just use escorts, they don't even want to contact you after you two don't want to meet each other. No commitments, not necessary, but a better idea than a girlfriend if you really want a female companion.

I had an ex call me 7 years after she broke it off with me wanting to get back together. She went broke it off with me to go marry her on again/off again boyfriend.

I dated this girl named Alllyson for a time and we actually had a good relationship. She was a down to earth, non-party person, like myself. There was this guy she dated off and on since high school and for some reason, both of their families wanted them together. Her family didn't like me, but she didn't let that get to her, so I thought.

One weekend, a friend of her and her sister's was getting married and they were going to out on the town for a bachelorette party. Allyson didn't want to go, but she got talked into going because it was her friend. After that Saturday, I didn't hear from her for a few days, which was unusual because we talked almost every day.

I was going to go to her friend's wedding with her and was wondering what was up. She called and told me we weren't going because she got married. While they were out, she ran into the ex and they started talking. He had finished medical school and was going off to L.A. for his internship, and wanted her to go with him. I don't think the meeting was a coincidence and her sister set it up. The sister didn't like me much either so I can see why she did it.

Allyson told me she realized she wanted to be with the other guy, so they went out the next day and got married. I live in Nevada which has a huge quickie wedding industry so one can literally get married on a whim here if they like. I was hurt, but I wished her well and told her I hoped they had a good life together.

7 years later, she calls me out of the blue wanting to get back together. She told she was back in town and her ex pretty much treated her like a trophy wife because he had this successful medical practice treating a lot of rich and powerful people. She even told me she got a nice settlement and we could begin a great life together with it. I had started dating someone else at the time, but even if I wasn't with anyone, I would have still told her to get lost. What she did just wasn't right and I told her so and I had moved on and she needs to do the same.

I didn't date anyone for a few years after what she did and after that, only dated occasionally. I worked on myself during that time, getting in better shape, buying a small condo for myself, and just enjoying being on my own. Today, that is how I live now. No girlfriends, relationships, no trolling clubs, bars, etc. looking for women. Just living free on my own and being happy. No strings, no commitments, just freedom.
