Default Is this my fault? Or do I deserve to be called these names? **A little long**

In a nutshell:

I now live on the West Coast and he lives on the East Coast. He was supposed to mail me one of my old bags (A Gustto Big Baca) overnight to me via Fedex. I didnt see the box from Fedex at my house so I call him up and say hey, whats up...theres no box here, do you happen to have a tracking number?"

He says: No I dont know where its at anymore. (In a calm voice)

At this point, Im kind of miffed and say fine, talk to you later.

I call back 5 minutes later and say, hey, you know what, I dont think you sent the bag, I think you're full of it, and really im not surprised (This guy never freaking does what he says hes going to do!!)

He says, "F**k you crack-wh*re, I sent your f**ing package.

*Why this might be of importance: Before I got my act together and went to college, I dabbled in drugs. I feel like he is throwing that fact in my face with his comment above.

I hang up on him

He texts me and says more of the same up above and then says "you're going to die" and "burn in hell"

*I dont know why he said this...He does know know though, that my biggest fear is death.

* And while I can be one of the most sarcastic chicks in the world who can cuss and tell crude jokes with the best of them, I am also at the same time, very religious and take faith, and God very seriously.

I text him back and say LOL, Bye. (Usually, in huge arguments, I cry and call back but its been really rough lately, and I have come to see that the best thing to do...is nothing.


He calls me the next morning and is all calm and polite. He is at the Fedex store. He verifies that the package was left at my doorstep and then when he wallks out the fedex store, he says f*ck you! See, I did what I said I was going to do.

We hang up.

Meanwhile, I am deliberating on contacting Fedex to see if the parcel was insured or not. I text him and ask him for the tracking number so I can use it to refer to the package when I go to the Fedex store. He says, nah you dont need it, it was left on your doorstep, youre SOL.


I call him twice more wanting to get the tracking number and finally he gives it to me and says fine, here it is crackwh*re.

I say calmly, do you really think its okay to call me that? Do you really think I am on crack, and that I am a wh*re standing on the corner? (By the way, Im not...I am a senior at a great university in California, I am working on completing my LSATS, and applying to law school)...he responds.."yeah, thats what I said...are you done?"

I say, "no im not"

and he says,"well I am" and hung up

At that point I lost it, and my cool and calm reserve as well. As juvenile and low as it is, I went ahead and text him and said:

The only crack who*re is your mom who made the cracked out decision to have you. You're the one who is going to die and burn in hell. May God forgive you for your sins, and all the bad things you have done and said."

Now I hear my phone going off with all his text messages probably saying the most horrendous things...and I am afraid to open my phone.

**************************************

My issue is this: I accused him of not sending my bag to me (although I never called him names). He got pissed, started calling me awful names and told me I would die and all this other crap (The reason why this is of importance is because he knows that death is my biggest fear)

Is this whole situation my fault...or is it his

Do I apologize...or do I go on my merry way?

Please help..any advice is greatly appreciated.

Sorry for the length of this post.

Really, I would say forget about him and move on. You don't say who he is in this situation, but I'm assuming he's an ex? There's a reason he's an ex and from this, it doesn't look like it will work itself out into a friendship. You both handled this situation poorly- you probably could have sucessfully gotten the tracking number by being more patient and explaining why you'd really feel better if he could get it for you. That doesn't give him the right to through such hurtful comments around, but then at the end, you turned it around on his mother . . . not exactly appropriate either. Just work with fedex on getting your bag now that you do have the tracking number and move on from him and the negatives.

^Yeah, its been a long 5 years between the two of us. Lots of the bad, and not as much of the good. I just dont know how to "cut the ties" that need to be cut. Thank you for your advice, I really appreciate it

Wow. He is low as hell.

Forget him and your bag. If it get here, then take it as a pleasant surprise. If not, write it off as a loss and buy a new bag.

I don't think it was your fault you were just calling to find out about your bag. He had no right to call you those names. Im hoping you cut all ties with him, you may have had good times in the past but he doesn't respect you and what you have with him will never get better. I would have also cursed him out too

No, you do not deserve to be called these names. Do not look at any more text messages from him or answer the phone when he calls. Block his number if you can. Going completely "no contact" will be the best way to allow yourself to move on. Hugs...(((((gung)))))) you are a beautiful person and don't you ever forget that!!

Him being such an ass would make it easier for me. I hope he wasn't like this during the relationship . . . Ew.

My opinion is you get more flies with honey, not sh@t. I think both of you were volatile in the situation. You both went back and forth with name calling. You said he was calm at first, then you admit you kept calling him back accusing him of not sending the bag. I think it's really good you both are not a couple anymore.

Some people when they argue, hit below the belt because they know it will hurt you. If I were you, I would not be speaking with the person anymore but when you get the bag, thank them for finally sending it.

Think about it as an eBay transaction. You really wouldn't get upset if the person forgot to send you a tracking number but you would be happy when you finally rec'd the bag.

^Ok...so I was at fault here too? I do feel somewhat guilty...
Perhaps you are right though, to think of it as an eBay transaction. Thank you

Yeah, he's always been a little bit of an ass but it seems to have gotten worse lately. A lot worse...and I feel like maybe I am partly to blame.

I think you were both wrong and stooped to levels you normally wouldn't as a result of frustration. I think that starting the dialogue again by apologising is not going to go anywhere. Leave it alone now and move on from it. There's a reason why you're not together and these are the same reasons why no contact is needed. Just my opinion on it.

IF he did send the bag, (and I don't think he did,) all you need to do is call Fed Ex and tell them where the bag was supposedly sent from and to where.

On the messages he sent you, those are considered terrorist threats, you may want to file a police report of you fear for your life. He sounds like a nut job.

BUT! BOTTOM LINE! DO NOT CONTACT HIM OR ANSWER HIS CALLS/EMAILS AT ALL!

I think we can pretty much be assured the bag is a wash.

Who is this guy to you now? and did you get your bag?
If he is an ex, leave him be just that and let it go .... especially if you received your bag .... no need for any furthur contact in my opinion ... and like someone else said, even if you don't get the bag, go buy a new one
