so at like 11:30pm tonight I got a message from a random number saying “*my exes name* is dead” , my heart immediately dropped, we broke up like 4 months ago but I still have him on every social media and stuff. I responded with “who is this” and then they replied saying it’s a work accident and the funeral is tomorrow, I asked again “who is this” and then they sent the address to a funeral home in my small town.
I am very freaked out who has my number, I texted my exes cousin to obviously ask if this is real or not, she said it’s not real and it seems to be some sick prank. But I am almost confident that my ex and even his friends wouldn’t stoop that low.
I tried putting the number into an IP tracker but it didn’t work. I texted my aunt who is a 911 dispatcher if she has any idea what I can do.
But I wanted to bring it to Reddit to see if anyone can help in anyway they can, idk if I should break no contact with my ex to ask him if he allowed this sick prank to be done. I stopped replying to the number because I’m scared tbh LOL

EDIT: thanks for all the help guys i appreciate it and have stopped replying. however the next morning it continued with the number saying my name , my aunt (911 dispatcher said that’s enough to file a emotional harassment police report if things continue so I have a timeline) , but then as I was going about my day MY EX CALLED ME. he got super defensive saying it’s weird and that he doesn’t know who it is but also said filing a police report is really dramatic. he eventually later on texted me saying it was his friends playing a prank while they were drunk. He got super upset at them but was still begging me not to press charges or anything , he didn’t seem like he cared for my safety at all. Eventually he kept texting me saying how he has so many emotions and he was going to reach out to me when we were healed and grown to apologize and talk again but that pissed me off more. idk if that was a way for him to call me but it was all unnecessary and honestly made me realize that he didn’t change at all. anyway ya it was a fake number too guys through some website apparently

hey omg I’m so pissed. last night my sisters friend messaged me asking if me and my ex are still together bc she saw him hammered at our town bar talking to girls and stuff , then she sent me a picture like I didn’t believe her. My heart dropped seeing him laugh w a girl idk. The whole night I was beyond anxious , I feel so stupid that I’ve been so hung up on him meanwhile he’s just been living the single life. Like I figured he would be hanging out with some girls bc his friends are friends w girls but to see it w my own eyes and especially bc idk who the person is makes me so sick.
I’m so mad rn I didn’t want him ruining my trip at all but this definitely ruined some part of it.
I just want to unfollow him and block him on everything, this confirms how I already know how much I don’t know him anymore.
I just want to yell at him and cry. I’m going to try my best to not let it ruin my weekend and then when I’m back feel sad about it but this truly does make me hate him so much. I talked so highly of him and kept so much respect, I know he’s allowed to do whatever he wants now and I need to accept what he’s done but idk it adds another form of anxiety for me because I’m adding a whole story to a blurry photo I know nothing about. And will know nothing about ever. I just wish he had more respect for me to respond to me so I know I’m treated with respect by him when I’m not there yk??? Idk if I should reach out saying that or let it go and hope he’s not being disrespectful to me or our relationship.

I’m 21F going through my first heartbreak from my first boyfriend of 2.5 years. He broke up with me because we fought a lot and it was getting to a point where it seemed like nothing was gonna change (keep in mind he broke up with me a year ago for the same reason but we obviously got back together after a day). But he ended things with me out of the blue after spending the whole night together being intimate and stuff, we had a little argument and then he blew up and ended things. I felt blindsided and betrayed.
It’s been like almost 4 months but up until May I tried to make him work things out with me, he clearly didn’t think it was a good idea. But he wanted to have a final conversation so he could “explain why the break up was so abrupt” but I thought that was not worth seeing him so I told him I’ll send him a text instead it was very long but I believe it’s better to speak than to die lol , anyway he never answered me back, not even an acknowledgment that he read it.
Whatever I had my university graduation which he knew everything about he was supposed to be there, he just viewed my story and that’s it because we still have eachother on every app.
The other day he reposted a tik tok about a song I told him to listen to in my final message , but mind you he NEVER reposts anything even in our relationship he was so against it and then he liked one of my reposts afterwards it said “1 year ago. Trust me I remember” then he keeps reposting videos about “life is short enjoy the little things” it pisses me off that he thinks he did nothing wrong and now it’s like “sigh stuff happens but life is short not to enjoy it🥺” like I wanted to reply saying “life is clearly not short enough to acknowledge an accomplishment someone u loved achieved” or “life isn’t short enough to realize how badly u ruined my nervous system” like something so he can realize how terrible he did me.
Anyway idk if this is his way to bread crumb me in getting my attention or something, I want to call him and ask to talk….not to get back together or to rehash anything but just to catch up maybe idk tbh because I know he did a lot to hurt me and disappointed me plenty but I just want an apology or literally anything from him….think of the final conversation in la la land where they were both like “im always going to love you” etc idk. I really want to bump into him in our town or something ughhh
