Safety and coercion
Ignored boundaries or consent
You said no, or not yet, or not that, and they kept going: more messages, more pressure, showing up, pushing physically. It might be about photos, meeting, sex, or just being left alone. Reports describe a person who treated 'no' as an opening bid.
What it looks like
- Repeated asks after a clear no, each with a new angle.
- Guilt, sulking, or anger as a response to a boundary.
- Turning up uninvited, or contacting you from new numbers after being blocked.
- Physical pushiness on a date, or ignoring what was agreed.
What counts as ignoring boundaries?
Wearing someone down works on people who are polite. Each small push tests whether you'll hold the line, and every time you give a little, the next push is bigger. Framing your boundary as the problem ('you're overreacting') shifts the conversation from what they did to how you feel about it.
What to do
- You don't owe an explanation. A no that isn't respected is the whole story.
- Block, and keep any messages as a record. Screenshots with dates help.
- If you feel unsafe, contact local emergency services or a domestic violence hotline.
- Report the profile so the platform can act, and add the number here.
