Since I broke up with my ex six months ago after 3 years of relationship, he keeps trying to get me back, which is hopeless as I don't love him anymore, and I told him so.
Today I was webcaming with my SO, when suddenly my door bell rang. As I could see from the window, it was my ex. Coming out of nowhere as we didn't talk for weeks. I didn't open the door. He kept ringing as he noticed I was home. I'm living in the first floor, my parents live downstairs. The apartments are connected by a corridor. When my bell finally stopped ringing, I thought he had given up. But no, he rang the bell downstairs. As my dad doesn't know much about the situation with me and him he opened the door. Soon my ex knocked at my door. Filled with so much rage I opened the door and asked him what he wanted. He asked whether he can come in to which I replied no, I'm busy. His next question is whether there is someone inside and argh I know I should have said yes or that it is not his business. Instead I said no and send him away.
What makes everything worse is that my SO twigged that. He felt annoyed and helpless as he is too far to "kick that guy's ass". We talked it over and we are fine now but what I need is an advice how to deal with my ex. I know I could just show no reaction or make him feel all my anger by shouting at him, insulting him, but that's just not my style. I'm thinking about words that will finally reach him. My attempt so far:
After what happened today I feel deeply attacked in my privacy. I decided that I don't want to stay in contact with people who control me and have the intention to make me feel constrained to justify myself when there is no point to do so.
Any advice?
