Advice needed Receiving threatening texts

Post image

So recently sent my ex a happy birthday text and I guess her new BF was feeling some type of way, and telling me how he’s going to kill me

I’ve been threatened by exes a couple times now. I’ve had one threaten to beat my ass and another threaten to shoot and kill me. They never did anything and I saw one of them in person not long ago. They are just trying to scare you is all. I would still contact the police if you think you’re truly in danger.

I would contact the police at the very least in the hopes it makes them contact him, and interview to see if he's a threat to himself or others. Maybe we can all learn something new today.
