My bff's ex is still troubling me....he knows too much

so, now i’m paranoid out of my skull about my best friend’s ex boyfriend knows about my past. He used his bounty hunter skills to find out my full legal name that my own bff didn’t know, He told me a “story” about a girl he knew who used to be in a psych ward that sounded suspiciously like me. I think he used this bounty hunter app to check my law enforcement record, where my 5150’s/5250’s are still listed (do those not go away, by the way?).

Now they’re broken up and his periodic creepy comments hinting that he knows all about me are gone, but I’m all riled up and need to know what he knows about me and who he’s telling. It’s driving me up the wall. What does he know, who does he tell, what else can he find out? It’s eating me.

We’re still friends on facebook, since he claimed to like me as a person and I’m too paranoid to defriend him now that my friend broke up with him. I can easily message him and invite him over. I can then ply him with alcohol and small talk to confess what he knows to me. I told my friend i wanted to text him, but she’s like noooo. i can’t get the paranoia out of my head until he lets me pick his brain. Maybe it’s not the best idea, but you guys understand how anxious thismakes me, right? Like, I’d just feel better if he told me/

Stay away. It is a very bad friend move to contact your friend’s ex, especially if they had a bad breakup.

I may be wrong but I don’t believe it’s possible for him to hunt your medical records. Did you actually discuss your mi with the friend ?

Plus i reckon he is a perv and will probably think you’re into him if you invite him round and give him alcohol. Cut all ties.

@Jimbob hadn’t thought of that angle, good looking out!

@anon80629714 it’s not medical, it’s the legal aspect. In the States, when you get hospitalized the police come and commit you by inputting a 5150 form into their database. That stays there, I don’t know how long…but that’s the reason why mi people can’t get guns once they’re 5150’d, it’s in the law enforcement’s database system that you’ve been a committed. THAT, he might be able to access, either through his own app or through a contact in the police force, I don’t know if he would do that, but he does have a lot of contact with police agencies. While he can’t access my record with my information from the doctor, he can check the law enforcement side with respect to the 5150 form they use to commit us. I did once discuss my mi with my friend, but when I mentioned to her she seemed to have been really drunk and forgot that I told her…she was like what? you were in a hospital? after a month or two after I told her that.

@Ninjastar and @Mountainman you guys are the level headedness I lack right now lol. Okay, for now, I will not invite him over and ply him with alcohol. I still might keep him on as a facebook friend for the moment. I’m a little too worked up to delete him right now, even if he doesn’t really post, just knowing he thinks that I think that we’re still friends makes me feel better, like he wouldn’t suspect I’m furious and plotting.

What @Ninjastar said – this is really creepy and even dangerous sounding.

good update, I sent him my last fb message explaining that we shouldn’t be fb friends out of consideration for my friend. I told him to defriend me and thanked him for buying me stuff and treating me to dinner with him and my bff when he knew i was broke. that way he won’t think i’m mad…

Hopefully, he’ll read it, reply with an ok no worries and then we can proceed to defriend each other!

might still see him at my kickboxing school, though, he goes there now, too cuz my bff took him there (i met my friend in a kickboxing class, so we all train together)
thanks to you guys for your advice, you guys have a good head on your guys’ shoulders!
