Catfished

By mylovelifeisanepicfail - This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff - United Kingdom - London

Today, I discovered that the man I have been talking to on a dating site is actually my ex-boyfriend. He created a fake profile and made me fall for someone that doesn't exist. We got on better anonymously than we ever did in 3 years together. FML

Today, I found out the person who's been stalking and harassing me online was actually my now ex-boyfriend. He only confessed as I finally picked up the phone to report it to the police. He basically said he wanted me to turn to him for comfort and protection, so he could "feel like a man". FML

what exactly did he think he'd achieve from this? It's pretty obvious that you'd find out who it actually was at some point

He seems like a douchebag. Did he have any intentions of getting back together or was this just for 'fun'?

But if you have not been with him and he popped back in to say high like that you should probably find a way to get rid of him for good this time. sorry OP some people are like that. Its not cool when people mess with others feelings. and sorry if my message is all over the place

Dating sites should verify your info before allowing to be a member. Never have been on one so not sure how it all works. Bottom line is to be careful he isn't stalking you. Thats got to suck after all that time. Now you can let go and find Mr right. Good luck.

Sorry to hear that, be strong and block, that's what I've had to do.

He's clearly still attached to you, and doesn't want to let go . Obviously not the right way of going about it, but talk it out ..

Report him to the dating site. And next time, get some phone,video chat or face to face contact happening before you give too much of yourself.the next one may be a scammer trying to take your money.
