A Threads post detailing a woman’s experience with an ex-partner who allegedly used threats and emotional pressure has sparked discussion online.

A Threads user has raised concerns regarding her ex-partner’s behaviour, claiming he refuses to let her go and frequently uses threats against her, leaving her mentally exhausted.

In her post, user @asylnetaf22 stated that she feels trapped as her ex continues to harass and emotionally pressure her even after their relationship has ended.

“I keep running away but he still refuses to let me go, and he likes to threaten me. I am so tired of dealing with this. In cases like this, can I make a police report?” she wrote.

She also claimed that in a recent incident, although he was not injured or involved in a fatal accident, she is now being blamed and threatened with hospital bills if she does not pay.

“He didn’t die and it wasn’t an accident this time, but if something happens, I will be forced to pay his hospital bills because he blames me for his accident. If I don’t pay, he threatens me again,” she added.

The post quickly went viral, gaining over 200 comments, with users actively debating and reacting to the situation in the comment section.

Many users criticised the man’s behaviour, calling it immature, toxic and emotionally manipulative.

Mazsilamazli_ questioned his age, stating: “Can I ask, how old is this guy? Because his childish behaviour is very obvious.”

Ftnaddyy commented: “Please lah, it’s 2026 already. This is old-school WeChat-style threatening.”

_.ffaaatin added: “Childish. Not mature. Rempit behaviour.”

Patahati1001 shared a similar experience: “My ex was like this too. Not mature at all. Just ignore him, people like this like to make us feel guilty.”

Some users advised her to take stronger action and suggested that she ignore the man entirely:

Dhirrrrrrah wrote: “Just make a police report. Don’t waste your energy.”

Nrashmsdn commented: “Guys like this always play the victim after they threaten you. Just don’t entertain them.”

Others warned about the signs of emotional manipulation. Maliaismail59 commented: “This is narcissistic behaviour. When he’s nice, it’s very sweet. But when there’s a fight, he twists everything to make you look wrong.”

Alang29_ advised: “Try blocking him for a few days. People like this just want attention and sympathy. If you don’t respond, they lose control.”
