I have a problem. There was this man who was the brother of my x and I've been checking on where he lives through detective sites. I am very scared of him. Anyway I found out he was living in the same city as me. I was drinking a bit and saw his daughters name on FB and told her I wished the best for him. He said he wanted to talk to me and gave me his number. I was afraid but thought it might be an apology from him coming. Anyway, he has not changed. The only time I talked to him was when I had a lot to drink and cannot recall all that was said. I have a feature on my phone where I can stop people from calling me when I want. Anyway after talking to him and seeing he is still a very angry person and doesn't seemed to have changed any I put his phone number on my rejection list. Only problem is I can't recall our conversations as I was quite drunk. People cannot get to my apt. without buzzing me and I don't buzz anyone in less I know them well. Oh well, I don't know what else to say but I am sort of scared I may have told him where I live when drinking. I am such an ass sometimes!!
(Oh bother! Now the "quote" thing isn't working properly! )
Never mind. You can control this. Don't worry.
Get rid of your old phone and get a new phone and new number. If you have any important data or photos stashed on your phone, transfer them to a safe place first (such as online photo hosting, or into your computer documents etc)
If you are on a contract with your phone company sometimes you are given options to update your phone anyway. But you may have to make a request to assign a new number to you. Or you could simply get a pay-as-you-go one for now until you fix a new phone contract. Pay as you go phones are the best for anonymity.
On FB just ignore him.
Don't give him your address. And make sure your address doesn't display on any search facilities. You can opt out from many directories and such. This may mean a day or two of work but you are in control so long as you keep your wits about you and don't forget anything.
No harm in a few drinks but stay off social media/ phones while you are having fun!
I hope all will be well.
I am used to 'being on the lam' in the past from certain people. No big deal.
