I've had this long-standing ex (my first relationship ever) who'd keep sending me messages from other accounts whenever I'd block him. So, at some point, I just stopped blocking him and simply ignored the messages when they came. After doing this, I really no longer felt shackled by his harrassment as I knew that even if he reaches out to me all he wants, I can just never respond and live my life in peace.
The thing is, my boyfriend accidentally saw him sending me messages when I was chatting with another friend. I told him what's going on with the ex and how I just ignore his messages but he kept questioning me again and again why I didn't take more measures against him. He was suspicious of my passivity but I personally don't feel like I've done anything wrong.
Tl;dr: bf questioned why I didn't take more aggressive means against stalker ex and I'm not sure that's fair
