Leave it or confront?

Question

Okay so I'm going to try to keep this as short as possible and only include pertinent details.
A really good, old friend of mine and I have lost contact over the years but two years ago he came to town and started down a conversation that was basically admitting to having had and currently having feelings for me which I QUICKLY shut down because I am happily involved AND there's no way his feelings for me are valid because it's been AGES since we were close.
I stopped 99% of communication outside of wishing each other happy birthday because I didn't think it was appropriate to maintain contact with someone who has feelings for me. Keep in mind this was two years ago.
Last night he sent me a screenshot of the song Laura (my name) by Flogging Molly. So.. he and I used to listen to Flogging Molly a lot, and I understand it could just be a "hey, miss you" but the lyrics to that song are pretty specifically not platonic and he could have sent ANY other song.
So here's my dilemma. I want to shut him down HARD. It pisses me off that he's ruined a friendship in the name of being miserable and putting his happiness' stock in a girl who he made up and plastered on my body.
The worst part is he has a PREGNANT GIRLFRIEND. So what I'm wanting to know is .. should I leave it be and just ignore it, confront him and give him a warning that if it happens again I'll reach out to his girlfriend, or just reach out to his girlfriend?
I know it seems like it might be something small, but I know him and I know it was intentional. I'm pissed because he doesn't respect me, my relationship, or HIS relationship and has purposefully done something inappropriate but not inappropriate enough to get "caught" or called out.

Answer

Just cut off communication.

Answer

Confront him then after doing that Cut off communication immediately. Block him on social media and cellphone. If he continues to bother you tell his gf

Answer

I have a friend like this. Weve been friends since 15. I got married, he got married. Then i divorced. Tuen he divorced. We kept in touch throughout tue years and saw each other from time to time. He lives in a different state so contact was mostly over the phone and messaging. He would occasionally suggest we travel and meet midway for a romantic weekend. Niw i never had any interest in romantic anything, but in his head things were different. So id just brush it off hoping he qould get the point. Well he didnt. He gor upset when i met my now husband and i told him about my new relationship. My husbamd and i were seeing each other for about two months then. At this point i cut him off. Completely. Blocked him from social media and was not responding to messages or calls. Them changed my number. Its been 4 years. He messaged me on skype twice in the past maybe 8 months and i never responded. My advise - rip the bandaid. You dont need this.

Answer

Tell her then cut off communication with him. Just don't skip telling her. Coming from a relationship of 6.5 years where my ex cheated the whole time and NO ONE decided to tell me though they could have, it's a female respect thing. We have to look out for one another. I would have rather known pregnant than 4 weeks postpartum when I found a text....please tell her so she can make her own decision. He will probably try finding someone else to cheat on her with if you only shut him down.
