how to deal with gossip in adult setting?

[damsel]

I've been done in by gossip. Facebook drama with an ex started after I broke up with him. He started saying the most ridiculous stuff.

I like my Facebook clean and no drama. I absolutely cringe when I see friends updates about their wonderful boyfriends or terrible exes. I don't use it that way. Now I had a friend that really needed to air our her personal stuff but it wasn't couples drama. i was glad to help. What she was dealing with was not gossip.
So I knew he would put it up there. I had started to notice that he puts everything short of fart updates on it. I did not my personal life resonating through his page. Especially online to people that I may meet in the future in a separate setting not involving him.
Why not use private messages? You still get the support without the broadcast.
Ending a 2 month relationship has taken its toll. I asked him to stop because it was embarrassing me. Not what he was saying , but how ridiculous he was acting. I am embarrassed I dated a douche bag I just didn't want it on Facebook. I wanted no connection to me.
I was compelled to look. Because I asked him to stop he said I was Facebook stalking him, which then qualified for him to call me stalker and claim he was afraid for his safety. He had a "friend" email threats to me as well.
Now after many months I am still uneasy about it. He has been sporadically contacting me for months. Last month he said Happy B day. He wanted to be friends after making everyone my enemy.
Well he is a police dispatcher..
I really think his gossip had gotten around. Its traveled beyond Facebook. I barely look at FB. Last I heard he had told everyone I was regretting leaving him and that I was looking for attention.
I had to call internal affairs last year. He said I tried to get him fired.They told me to contact them if he continued.So I finally did after the Happy B day. I am terrified but relieved to not hear from him.But now I don't know where he is, so I'm more scared.
I DID BLOCK HIM IMMEDIATLY. anyone that knows how to use FB would! DUH!
The gossip has found its way into the rest of my life and it is serious. But since all of you thought it would go away with blocking I do not expect anything else.
None of you probably even read an update. Plus there is past tense indicated in the original explanation. Get some reading skills peeps.

I would not have put it on YA if I wasn't stressed and the nonchalant attitude answers didn't help.
Him being in police: Last month I called for man trying to enter my home. He successfully entered my neighbors house. NO ONE CAME. They acted like I was getting attention. I have also found out that he has hacked my emails plural. People in my email lists have been hacked as well.so now what can I do?.

Ignore it.

Wow, all this over a two month relationship? Block him on facebook and be done with it. You won't be able to see his stuff and he won't be able to see yours...you're welcome.

Yeah, block him. He won't be able to contact you. Nobody mature is going to judge you for what HE says on HIS page, so you can just ignore that. Oh, and block the person who threatened you, too. And make sure your privacy settings keep anybody except friends from looking at your page.

Ever thought of giving up face book and just calling on the phone or seeing people in person? It's really old-fashioned but the privacy might be worth it.
