How do you guys deal with jealous ex boyfriends? I've had almost no problems in my life with this because I don't like to date in my local area. I also let my LTR's know I don't want our lives blasted on social media, which has helped a ton. The last two years I've LTR'd a couple girls in my locale, which are firsts for me. Been seeing a girl for about a month now who lives in my area (we're not exclusive yet, but it's obviously heading there) and her ex messaged me the other day a long message about how he doesn't want me to go near her, to let her live her life, I'm a POS, he's heard things about me, etc. I didn't respond. I know of him, and we have mutual friends, and I just tolerate him more than anything. Had a run in with him years ago where he said he was going to get his gun and shoot me (lol - he's all talk) because my buddy was going to get in a fight with his friend that ended with him apologizing to me later.

Anyway, how do you guys deal? I'm not a noob, I'm pretty experienced, but just curious how you guys deal with these things?
