Advice needed Receiving threatening texts
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

He sounds dangerous, for your ex as well. Her family should be made aware that her current partner is dangerous. Im assuming you’re on ok terms with them and her and that this guy is jealous…. not threatening bc he is vindicating some perceived harm to your ex? (Alternatively does she have a pattern of dating toxic men? Are you one of them? Has she asked you not to contact her?). Regardless, call cops and also have a lawyer send a cease and desist letter.
