Feeling scared... 5 months pregnant and man sent me a threatening sounding text
So I have a situation... 6 months ago I ran into this couple at my local grocery store. They seemed eccentric but nice. I had vaguely known the guy back in high school years but never talked with him. His wife had moved to our town and didn’t have any friends. Since I had a similar experience, I felt bad and reached out. I gave her my number and said maybe we could hang out sometime. We texted a little bit (all of which consisted of her nothing but her asking when we could hang out. She wouldn’t have a normal conversation with me.) but I got very busy and had no time to hang out. I felt bad but that’s life... It gets busy at times. After about a week, it got to the point that she would text me many times a day asking to hang out, when I will be able to hang out, and calling me multiple times a day to try to get ahold of me. I finally had free time and told her we could meet at the mall to hang out. She then told me I’d need to drive to her house (which is outside of city limits), pick her up and she had no money to do anything. I did not feel comfortable with this at all and told her I couldn’t pick her up. She started calling me more and I asked her to please stop calling me because I have phone anxiety... I don’t answer calls unless it’s family or business related... She didn’t care...She and now her husband continued calling me, despite my request. Then I found out I was pregnant. She messaged me and kept asking to hang out. I told her I couldn’t. I’m busy and pregnant and sick with morning sickness. I began to start ignoring her messages, because I began to feel even more uncomfortable. She wouldn’t have a conversation through text. I’d try to make small talk in the beginning and every two texts were her asking when we could meet in person. It became really uncomfortable. So this has been going on for 6 months. Around a month-month and a half went by without her texting me so I thought she had finally stopped. Well, Yesterday she sent me a text asking to hang out again. I didn’t respond. Two hours go by and I’m getting a call. I ignore it. Then her husband texts me telling me he is super angry at me and reiterates how angry he is at me. This made me feel extremely uncomfortable. I met/truly had a conversation with these people ONE time 6 months ago at a grocery store and this guy is trying to call me and telling me he is super angry with me. These people are in their mid 20’s. Since then, I blocked the number but I don’t feel safe. They don’t know where I live or what car I drive but I live in a small town. I’m 5 months pregnant and I just don’t feel safe. Something about the text he sent and the way this all has played out over the last 6 months has me really nervous.
I know it is stupid to give my number to strangers. I typically don’t do it but I felt bad for her. Now I’m in this situation... What should I do?
TL;DR:
A couple I met once 6 months ago (and gave my number to), has seemed to become obsessive with hanging out with me to the point I started feeling uncomfortable and ignoring texts. I haven’t seen them since that one time at a grocery store; however, the husband (mid-20’s male) attempted to call me and texted me a threatening feeling text message stating he was very angry at me. It made me feel scared and I am not sure what to do.
