“Contacted ex out of the blue after 6 years”
What Actually Happened
Ex contacted me on Pinterest, despite being blocked on other platforms, and claimed to want a friendship. His messages were manipulative and inaccurate, and he continued to contact me despite saying he wouldn't.
What I wish I knew
"To be more cautious and not engage with him"
Advice to Someone Facing This Now
If I could tell you one thing
"Be wary of people who claim to want a friendship after a past romantic relationship, especially if they've been manipulative in the past"
