I started dating this guy two years ago when I was 22. He is 38. Our relationship was more on and off because of his abuse. Back when we started getting more involved, he demanded to check my phone numerous times to see who im talking to, and when I wouldn't give it, he would fight me for it. One time, he saw that I was talking to another guy, but this guy was only my friend, and nothing more, and my ex said "now I will take you to the middle of nowhere and leave you there stranded so that you wont be able to get home". There were subtle times when he would point out hes watching me when im not with him, for example, we were staying at his house and when I wanted to leave, he would say "no, you cant, theres no cabs to come here to take you home as usual" meanwhile, I took cabs a lot back then. The last string was when I wouldn't go out with him anymore, he got aggressive, calling me nasty names which I cant even say here, and threatened me saying "you don't know who my friends/family are and what they are capable of" After the threats, I left for good. I changed my number, got off social media. 5 or 6 months later, I stopped going out as much because of my social anxiety and PTSD (which I figured were the effects of this relationship) I signed up to a dating site, and his cousin (who is very close to him) started messaging me on there and harassing me, asking me out and stuff. This was a set up. Luckily, I recognized his cousin and refused and got off the site. I then made a new facebook account to connect with my old friends, as soon as I did, he found me and sent me numerous messages on there, asking how I am, telling me "he wishes I would just speak with him, that he changed, that he can try to be good" and begged for my number. Sadly, I got scared and gave him my new number. He keeps asking me to go out for coffee with him just to "talk" and then he keeps saying he wants me to go to his place. I keep saying no because I am still scared of him. Last week he told me he was the mall the exact same time i was, at the same store. Meaning he was watching me again. Luckily i was with my mother. Then a few days ago he told me hes "on my street with his cousin" I am still very scared of him. I don't know what to do. Every time I cut contact, I feel that what im doing is wrong because I already tried that and it didn't work, that I should keep in touch so that he doesn't stalk me or potentially hurt me. He has a sick, yet strong hold on me for some reason, yet I cant stand him. What should I do?
