My ex lives in Florida and I live in Missouri. My ex is a very wealthy individual which will become relevant later in the post. My ex and I broke up almost a year ago but they continue to harass me by constantly sending unwanted text, numerous calls, reaching out on social media, sending things to my apartment, etc. They go between begging for me back to being angry with me, telling me about all the new people they’re dating who are so much better than me, calling me out my name, threatening to come to my city etc back to begging for me again.

I have blocked them on texts, socials etc but they would have different phones, uses texting apps etc to continue to contact me. I have asked them to stop several times and have said I would get the police involved if they don’t stop but they stated they do not care.Sometimes they go quiet but circle back just as I’m starting to relax. I was finally thinking it was over until the new year where they reached out and I made the mistake of responding and telling them to leave me alone which apparently fueled them to do the opposite.

Ever since then it’s been non stop. I finally reached my breaking point after the individual reached out to my family and friends who then begin flooding me with texts and calls and screenshots. Only then did I truly get pissed off because bothering me is one thing but for my ex to reach out to them is another. I emailed his parents and included screenshots of everything and now he wants to pay me off.

Part of me feels like I’m past the point of money because at this point I really want him to learn he is not invincible and he cannot just get away with this kind of stuff. But I do want to know If I were to accept any form of payment does that mean I agree to not pursue legal action? Or could that come off as extortion? Thanks for your help in advance
