How to unblock sender

I have been trying to send emails from my protonmail.com address to [enrollmentservices@yorktech.edu](mailto:enrollmentservices@yorktech.edu) (York Technical Community College), but every time I send a message I receive an auto response with this:
​

Your message to [enrollmentservices@yorktech.edu](mailto:enrollmentservices@yorktech.edu) couldn't be delivered. A custom mail flow rule created by an admin at ytcmail.yorktech.edu has blocked your message. Unacceptable domain

Does anyone else get this response?
How can we get them to unblock it?

Hello, I want to preface this by saying that this is my first time posting, and that English is not my first language, so please forgive any mistakes or clumsiness on my part.
I (21F) am not the most tech-savvy person, I know the basics but my parents (56F-64M) are even worse so they usually come to me regarding technology-related questions. It all started when my mother came to my room asking me if I knew how to block someone on Facebook. I do not use facebook so I could not give her precise instructions and asked her to give me her phone so I could do it myself. This is not an uncommon occurrence, I have blocked people for my mom before, and she had no qualms about letting me see/do it myself. This time, however, she was very skittish and hesitant, dancing between giving me her phone or not; in the end, I managed to convince her and she asked me to block a man whose name was not familiar to me. I could not see much of their prior conversation, but his very last message was an "I love you."
To be honest, I did not think much of it at the time, surely this was just a common case of a man crossing the line, hence the request to block him. I asked if she wanted me to erase the conversation as well, and she enthusiastically agreed.
Fast forward to barely a day later, I was doing her nails in my room and she was on her phone distracted the whole time. She was actively chatting with someone, and hiding her screen whenever I leaned in. I could see the message bubbles but not the name of the sender, and when I asked who she was talking to, she evaded my questions or acted like she was not listening to me. To be perfectly clear, this kind of behavior is very strange coming from her; since the day I could remember she has never tried to hide a conversation or act so evasive about what she's doing on her phone, more often than not she is the type to blast voice messages at full volume and read messaged out loud so this all looked strange to me.
The same thing happened twice more, and I started to get suspicious. Whenever she was on her phone I could see the same text bubbles and I just felt that something wasn't right. I am really not proud of what I did next, I promise. Long story short, I did some snooping on her phone, and it turns out she managed to unblock the man (I swear I didn't know she knew how to do that in the first place), and once again, I saw an "I love you" from him. I was pressed for time so I didn't scroll up their entire conversation, but I haven't seen her saying it back to him; however she did say she would "listen to his song on the road", and other things of that nature. In another conversation they were talking about his divorce and dispute with his wife (I'm not sure how detailed I should be about their conversations), and the tone was very... Tender. I was disturbed.
I am disturbed. I don't know what to do or how to approach this. Just a few minutes before I started writing this I was sitting with her on the couch and I saw a notification from him pop up with something along the lines of "I miss you". I never thought my mom would be a cheater, and to be quite frank I don't know if this counts as cheating in the first place? My parents have been married for 31 years, and like every other couple who has lasted this long, they've had problems on the way, but it was never bad. Should I talk to her? Should I wait and see? My heart feels uneasy, I lack experience in this domain, so here I am.
TLDR; My mother has been exchanging questionable messages with a mystery man who has declared that he loves her. What do I do?

NOTE: I don’t work for meta, I simply did what i listed and it worked for me. I won’t know the answers to all your questions. I knew less than you and managed to solve my problem with no support. Please try to resolve the issue yourself first as if you have no support. AND PLEASE ACTUALLY READ EVERYTHING BEFORE REACHING OUT TO ME. 80% of the messages I get are from people who did not bother to read my post. All the resources I linked also answer a bunch of questions.
I also update this post and add more links or new updates from other individuals trying out the method.

STORY
I got locked out of my instagram account after I used a 3rd party app to find out who was following or unfollowing me. The error is instagram's fault. This triggered their security alerts and the suspicious activity caused Instagram to put your account in a mode where you can only get it back if you email a real instagram support person so they can escalate your issue to an Account Recovery Specialist. My method helps with my issue and other issues even 2fa lockouts or potential hacking errors.
Unreliable alternative options:
There are a many ways to fix your problem. You MAY get lucky if you try to use an incognito browser or utilize Firefox browser to log into your account or reset/change password. Those type of methods will only work for certain people but will solve your issue VERY fast. BUT for the most part many people will need a REAL meta support member to help them.
If you buy Ads on facebook or on instagram, you are automatically assigned a real human being support person to help you with your account, same goes for getting Meta verified—but it all goes to the same goal of getting a real person to talk to so you can request a SPECIALIST.
(Also heard that if you email their public security email ([security@mail.instagram.com](mailto:security@mail.instagram.com)) every single day for a few months they might respond 😂😂😂)
Warning:
My method will work best if you have full control of your account and the emails and phone numbers and all verification information they will ask you. If your account was hacked or you don’t have all the information needed to verify your identity, instagram might not help you.
Because you’re talking to a real person you can still try to get a specialist to help. But with the account being hacked it may be harder. They have to be able to verify your identity so having access to your original email or phone number is important!!!!
THE SOLUTION
I got my account back in 7 days: I contacted instagram's Privacy Operations team by claiming I needed help with accessing my data through https://help.instagram.com/contact/505535973176353 I selected I had a data access issue and then selected \*"I don’t have an Instagram account and I want to access my data".*** This gives you an option to **create a ticket** and get in contact with a real person. You can also select any other option related to privacy operations because any of those options give you to a Privacy Operations support ticket.
The goal, is in this method is get in contact with a real instagram support person, who you can try to convince to help you with accessing your account or forwarding you to a specialist to help!!!! This skips the months of waiting and emailing instagram and hoping for someone to answer.
CAUTION:
DO NOT start your email off saying you cannot log into your instagram account and you need help recovering or accessing your account. They will immediately tell you they can't help you and potentially close your ticket and ghost you.
You need to making every communication related to Privacy Operations or they ignore you. State you need help with instagram's privacy policy or info about the privacy policy. This Privacy Operations team are real people assigned to resolve issues regarding privacy. A Real Person is assigned to you, you are given a ticket number, and they will email you regarding your issue and questions. Remember by law Instagram has to allow you access to all your data and information!!!! So keep insisting for access to your account so you can get your data!!!!
After I got a response from a real person, I told them I couldn't access my account but I needed data and information from my account. They will try to tell you to go to the Help Center to figure out how to access you account again. Keep NICELY talking to the person who is contacting you about the privacy concerns.
PRO TIP: in every email you send them always state and include that you would to be forwarded to a specialist or a support team that can help you with your account. You need a specialist it’s the only way to get your account back!!! Include a DEADLINE- like I need it before next month, they might respond faster, that's what I did.
Consistently insist that you need your data and information from your account. I told them I had a trial coming up that involved evidence needed from my instagram account including all data and information. Let them know that you cannot access you account no matter what you do with the help center, and this is where they started to help me. The person I was given for my ticket, sent all of my information and my concerns to a Specialist, who the gave me steps to verifying my identity and unlocking my account.
AGAIN THERE IS NO EMAIL I cannot give you the email they used to communicate to me--it doesn't exist
There is no public email or contact information for the person who helped me, a special contact thread is created for you by Facebook ( in an email) which will help you set up and reaccess your account. This took me 7 days to get my account back. It's about an email a day, with a weekend where there was no communication. Most work is done weekdays and business hours!!!
There will be a lot of back and forth emails with copy and pasted answers from the help center, but keep in mind no matter what they send you whether it be specific or just a copy and pasted response with links to the help center; there’s an actual person reading your emails and your thread and responding back. You just need to keep insisting your issue and wanting a specialist so the person finally sends you to a specialist team member. **Do not get mad or give up if you keep getting bot/automated type responses!!! Follow my instructions!!!!**
TIMEFRAME
They are slow. One email a day typically, two if you are lucky. Once you get the email regarding a new email request it will take between 1-3 days (7 days longest) to hear back regarding identity verification. After verifying identity, they will send a confirmation within 1-2 days. If you do not hear back from them, send follow up responses as much as you want. Make sure to log in to your account to check if they fixed it and did not notify you.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS AND PRO TIP
—-try logging into your account/changing password at least once a day while you are going through this process of emailing back and forth. Instagram may unlock your account and not tell you or send a confirmation email after you verify your identity or even after you submit your new email.
If you mess up or they deny you— You can keep trying and starting over again. You get a new Support person or a smarter one!

1. Go to their contact page to submit a support request, just google it or try using the link I listed, asking for help with data/privacy issues. Choose you need your data and information but don't have an instagram account. https://help.instagram.com/contact/505535973176353
2. Wait for the first email which includes your ticket number from them, then respond to that email, explain your issue, continue asking for help on accessing your data and ask a lot of questions about how can you download your data, ask questions about the privacy policy, and to be sent to a specialist team member to assist you with your issue. Keep it relevant to privacy operations but mention you can't access your account and you need a specialist.
3. They will send you an email back that sounds like a bot, or it automated messages, but this is a real person just copying and pasting information to send to you in the email. They will tell you that their team cannot help you access your account, but Do Not Listen to This.
4. You're gonna have to repeat yourself a few times. It sucks! Respond back with the same issues you stated before, say that you understand that you need to log in to instagram in order to access your data, but you cannot access your account. Nothing in the help center works in terms of accessing your account. Ask the support to have your issue sent to a specialist team member, that can help you with your issues. Keep asking to be sent to a specialist team member, and to have you ticket forwarded to them--almost like you are asking for a supervisor or a manager
5. If they listen, You will be contacted by a specialist team that will help you out. They will send you an email asking you to provide them a new email not associated with any past or present IG account this means you are being sent to a specialist to get your account back.
   1. ——it may take 1-3 days (max 7) to hear a response from them. FACEBOOK will be the emailer. Look for that sender not IG. Sending follow up emails after is okay. Be patient and know that someone will get to you eventually!!! Mention a deadline like you need your data before next month.
6. The last few emails will be asking you to verify your identity, with a picture of yourself holding a note card with a handwritten code number alongside other personal details. I included my emails, phone number, device used, picture of my face and front page of IG account. If you don't have photos on your IG account of your face, you may face issues.
   1. After you submit your identity verification wait 1-3 days for response or confirmation. Log into your account everyday to check if its restored.
7. —- heads up —if you manage to get ur account restored---if the specialist verified you and sends you an email with a link to access your account, it might not work or be broken. But you can create a new password through the standard method of 'forgot password' and that’s how you can access your account.

—if you don’t speak English go ahead and try writing them in your own language!!! They will respond to you in your language. BUT English is a for sure method!
NOTE: If all fails. And you seriously can’t get your account back after a few tries with the privacy operations method, I suggest trying to open an ads account with meta and instagram or do something that involves paying a little money or being a customer to Instagram. If you open an ads account I hear you get a special support team, meaning a real human to talk to. They may be able to escalate your problem and have your account fixed especially if you pay the platform money. This may also work with paying to be verified or something. Just another suggestion but as I said in the beginning, I won’t know how to solve all your problems.

My (24F) best friend (24F) is too handsy with my boyfriend (26M) and I think it's inappropriate
I know I should be careful calling someone "best friend" in a post like this, but I don't know how else to call "Jessie".
Our parents are great friends so we grew up together and she kind of had my back in high school. Long story short, on the teenager food chain, she was on top and I should be on the bottom. But nobody messed with me cause I was "Jessie's friend".
Jessie is one of those people who require attention. I never minded though, nobody is perfect right? But now that I have my first real boyfriend, she doesn't know how to behave.
Every time we are together she is really "handsy". Always touching his arms, running fingers through his hair, complimenting him. And now she even started with the "prank spankings" on the butt you know? I just feel really uncomfortable with it. Maybe it's normal, I mean, Jessie has a lot of guys friends, so maybe this is ok? My BF never thought much of it either. Am I just overreacting? She is super pretty so maybe I'm just jealous?
Anyway, yesterday something really threw me off. BF had to do some work and I had a book thing (hobby), so we decided to meet later at a friends's house, they were getting together to drink and so on. BF finishes work early and calls me, but I don't really need him to come over to the book thing (I know he doesn't like it) so I just tell him to go to Friend's house.
Then I start getting texts from Jessie all like "girl, you gotta come to this party now, your BF is WASTED! LOL", "lol, we so drunk, you need to come and stop us", "I can't behave myself if you dont get here soon". And so on. The book thing took longer than I thought and I was just getting mad and madder. But I am a very non-confrontational person, so I deal with it.
I call BF when it's over cause I don't feel like going to this party anymore but I was his ride, so I ask him if needs me to come pick him up. He says, sure. I get there and don't even go inside. I am ready to release the Hounds of Hell on him. But he gets in my car and he is stone cold sober.
I ask him if he was drinking and then show him Jessie's texts. He gets super upset and says she was lying, he wasn't even hanging directly with her, but catching up with a friend who just came back to town. He says I should have texted him letting him know what she was saying so he could confront her about it "since you don't ever seem to be able to give that girl some boundaries" his words.
Now I am thinking maybe I should talk to Jessie? But maybe she was just drunk and annoying me cause she wanted me there? I don't know I mean, this girl was really nice to me growing up when she could have been a bitch. I don't like how she behaves around him but at the same time I don't want it to look like I don't trust her. Is there a polite way of going about it? Or I should maybe wait and see if this happens again? Am I overreacting?
tldr Old friends is handsy with my boyfriend, and it upsets me but I don't know if I should tell her or how.
UPDATE: Thanks to everyone for your comments and help. I decided to talk to Jessie and posted a development to the story
 
Update 1 posted on September 24, 2018
So my (24F) best friend (24F) says I owe her everything I have, including my boyfriend
Yesterday I posted here about how my best friend Jessie is a bit handsy with my boyfriend and it makes me feel uncomfortable.
tldr is she touches him a lot and sent me inappropriate messages when she was at a party with him.
I am very thankful to all those who commented, especially the ones who encouraged me to say something and what. I don't like arguments, so those were very important to me, thank you!
Last night we were alone cause she wanted me to help her choose clothes for an event. I was at her place so I thought I should say something (I wanted to say something). I was very polite and just said that I knew she meant no harm but I didnt feel good about it. So I asked her if she could tone it down (I should have said "stop" but I guess I'm weak).
She didnt really say anything mean, but her attitude was a bit off, I think. She was looking at me in a scornful kind of way, and the way she smiled once I was done talking... it just felt weird. She didnt say anything else but "okay" and we just moved on to choosing her clothes and I left after. We were supposed to go get something to eat but she said she was tired. I am not dumb, she was hurt.
So I texted a common friend (more her friend than mine) and, without getting into details, I just told him that I talked to Jess about something that was important to me but that I was afraid she may have gotten the wrong idea from it. The common friend said "look, I dont wanna get involved, but you should watch it". I asked what he meant, he said "nothing, just watch it".
A little while after that he texts me back and says "changed my mind, I do want to get involved" and sends me a bunch of prints of texts going back and forth between him and Jessie.
It basically starts with him asking her if the two of us had a fight, cause I was worried (he was kind with his words, I dont mind him stepping in) and then just a non-stop stream of her being horrible. She says I had a big mouth and was judging her behavior cause I'm a prude who doesn't know how to be around guys. How she taught me everything I know about having a life and how dare I tell her what she can or cannot do, or how I should thank her for even having a boyfriend at all.
Common friend actually called her out for being rude and no friend of mine. After the prints he told me "I'm done with her, I give up, and you should watch it". He also said it was ok if I told her I had the prints.
I didn't though. Didn't know what to say. I mean she is not 100% wrong. But even though I know that, it really hurts to read those.
This morning I wake up and see she texted me late at night. She says she knows "Pete" sent me the prints and she didn't mean to be rude, but it's ridiculous that I am jealous of her because if she wanted my BF she could just have him, "you want me to prove it?". So I'm being silly and should drop it, is what she meant. She ends it with kisses and a joke. So I don't know if she was being playful, apologizing, threatening or being pragmatical.
I didn't answer her yet.
I don't know what to say.
Should I even say something? Or should I just let it go?
I wish I could talk to someone about this but I am very private. I usually go to Jessie with these things.
Help?
tldr Asked an old friend to stop being so handsy with my boyfriend, she took it the wrong way and told a common friend I got no business telling her what to do since I owe her so much

Commenter:

sounds like this person is completely wrapped up in their own head and have a serious case of over thinking their importance in life, especially other's lives.
obviously we're all going to tell you to drop her because she's not a desirable person to be around if that's how she acts/ talks to you in person and behind your back. this person thinks they own you enough so that they're decided to 'let you have' your bf..? fuck that shit.
Also show your guy everything that's happened cause guaranteed she's going to go after him.

OOP:

I suppose you are all right. It just gets me, you know? It's a 20 years long friendship. I keep thinking maybe this is a miss understanding, she didn't mean it or she is going through a hard time and doesn't know how to deal with it.
I am just trying to make sure I am not overreacting, so I needed some outside perspective.
As for my BF I think he would turn her down quite fast. He doesn't really like her. He just hangs with her because of me, he's always saying that he'd rather not and all. So it's unlikely that they'd be alone together. But I will talk to him. Thank you for the heads up!

 

Turns out she already went after him
I was stupid

 
Update 2 posted on September 26, 2018
UPDATE - My (24F) best friend (24F) says I owe her everything I have, including my boyfriend
My boyfriend is having sex with her.
A friend convinced some other friends to send me prints of texts between themselves and either my BF or "best friend".
They are pretty clear.
I confronted my BF, he looked lost, said he loves me and it was just sex. He says "Jessie"kept throwing herself at him, teasing him, and he said he didn't like her but I still wanted to hang.
He said he just had sex with her to see if she would move on and leave him alone, and that it only happened a couple of times. Says he wont do it anymore, he doesn't even like her, he loves me, asking me to please forgive him.
From the texts, once I finally made it through them all, I think that Jessie went to the party (where me and BF met) cause she wanted to hook up with him. She had it bad for him, but he didn't feel the same way. She was trying to get him to break up with me, and then to get me to break up with him.
It worked. As of yesterday he is a single man.
In some of those texts, they are talking about some of the hook ups. I feel like throwing up.
I blocked him, cause he was still trying to get in touch.
I ghosted her. But she just sent me a message saying she just heard what happened and "you know this was probably for the best right?" and I feel like fucking screaming.
I don't know if this is an update or just me venting.
Thanks for listening either way.
EDIT
I don't wanna sound melodramatic or sappy or anything, but you all brought me to tears.
We keep hearing about how it is insanity to rely on the internet for personal connections, but I just lost a boyfriend, a best friend, and a whole group of friends.. and instead of feeling alone, I am more and more feeling like "fuck yeah that was the right thing to do, I will be ok". It still hurts. But not as much as it would had I really been alone.
I can't even begin to thank this sub.
I really don't know what to say.
Even on my previous posts that didn't get as many responses, it was some of the comments there that made me approach the cheating thing knowing I had to break up and move on. So it changed my life in this moment. And considering I will be doing a lot of soul searching on toxic relationships, this probably changed my life for good.
So thank you all so much for reaching out to a stranger. This community is so precious!
And I got a gold, I don't even know what to say! Thank you so much! I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but I don't even know how much a gold costs, and this is an alt account, so it wont really be used. Is there any way I can return it to the sender?
Some of you are asking for an update. I might in a while, if there is something new to tell. Right now it's just more of the same.
I don't think I will be able to answer all the comments, but I am trying to at least answer the ones with questions!
Thank you!!

Commenter 1:

Well yeah I would just ditch that whole friend group and start trying to find new friends my god thats some fucked up shit

OOP:

Yep
done and done
I think I'm being too permissive with the word "friend". It was going on for months. Everyone knew. Nobody had the decency to tell me.
It was only the one friend who wasn't even that close who stood up for me

Commenter 2:

You also can't make her hurt.
She has no respect for you, and clearly doesn't care. So it will be impossible anyways. It would have the same effect as a drunk stranger telling you that your awful. It might make you angry but you dint care about that stranger so what they say is irrelevant.
Also I can't imagine anything so utterly not worth your time.
The delightful side effect of just ghosting, is that they will stew in it. They want the reaction, but they get none. They realize they lost all their power and never get to know and feel that satisfaction that comes from getting the reaction you wanted.

OOP:

O I get what you mean
She is still texting me
I didn't mention one detail cause it wasn't important. We were all traveling together soon. My family payed for some of Jessie's expenses. She is messaging me about the vouchers (since I have them all)
this fucking woman can't even wait a day to ask? It's like she suddenly remembered she still needs me. I mean, I am not giving them to her either way. Trip is off. Can't she tell????

She has no respect for you, and clearly doesn't care.

absolute truth

Commenter 3:

She would be more hurt by no response at all (to anything, ever, OP—go no contact).

OOP:

I'm very much thinking the silence treatment will be the way to go.
I think she just realized she needs me for the trip, she has been aggressively trying to contact me.
Now she is saying that she liked my BF first, and I was the one who stole him, so she is the one who should be mad.
I know I should just block her everywhere. But is it petty that I am having fun watching her squirm?
I wanted to have the last word, but not saying anything is driving her crazy

Commenter 4:

He said he just had sex with her to see if she would move on and leave him alone, and that it only happened a couple of times. Says he wont do it anymore, he doesn't even like her, he loves me, asking me to please forgive him.

LOL wut. Seriously, that is one of the stupidest things I have heard. It is like saying "hey babe, I jumped off a cliff because somebody was really pestering me to do it. "
EDIT: I feel for you OP, but what an excuse.

OOP:

I confess I almost fell for it. How pathetic is that?
He was saying he cared about me, it was just a mistake, he thought she would back off... and I felt it was a bad decision on his part, but maybe it made sense and I could forgive him?
Then he said something like "and I didn't even like her, you were the one who always wanted us to hang"
That's when my brain joined the party and I was like, is he SERIOUSLY trying to blame this shit ON ME?

 
More comments made by OOP:

Most disgusting part is that it is a trip we would take together with my BF and some other friends. So she really thinks I would let my family pay for her to go on "vacation" with my ex who she cheated on me with?
I'm starting to think this woman is sick. Like for real.

 

I just went straight to venting, didn't I? Sorry!
Well, it was all "Pete" really. After she texted she could get my BF if she wanted to, I just answered back "wtf jessie?" and she "lol"ed as if it was a joke.
After that, Pete texted me, asked me if I was alone. He was really kind, and told me everything. Said he had proof and asked if I wanted to see it. I said yes.
He had gone after our friends and convinced them to send him prints. He's really well liked by everyone, and he was the one who said enough
Pete is gay btw, just in case anyone jumps the gun like my mom did and think he did this cause he's interested in me or something. He's not. He is just a decent person.

 

No, I didn't get prints between BF and Jessie. I guess I went straight to venting and didn't give much details! Wasn't expecting this response!
There was this friend Pete who convinced 3 other friends to send him texts between them (3 friends) and either Jessie or BF, so he could have proof, cause he thought what was happening was disrespectful and someone should tell me. There were prints of texts between 2 friends and Jessie. And one other friend and BF. They were pretty clear.
Jessie especially didn't seem to care about hiding it at all. BF texts were mostly wondering if I had noticed something, and wanting Jessie to back off, while saying she was hot, etc. There was nothing 100% confirmation on his side. It wasn't a talk between him and one of his closest friends, so it was kind of generic. But when I confronted him, I said I had prints, without saying what they showed, and he just confessed.

 

I really appreciate the prints. It was ultimate evidence.
But I don't think they did it for me.
It's a Pete thing, you'd have to know him to understand. He's the stand up guy who is everyone's friend. He is a huge people person.
I think they sent the prints because it was something "for him", you know? He was the one leading the charge and dealing with consequences. If it were just me, I don't think they would have done it.

 
Update 3 posted on October 2, 2018
FINAL UPDATE - My (24F) best friend (24F) says I owe her everything I have, including my boyfriend
I said I'd come back if anything relevant happened!
EX-BF kept trying to get in touch through common friends. They kept asking me to unblock him and at least hear him out, cause he was really sorry, he loved me, he was a mess, he didn't mean to, someone even went as far as to ask me if I was really sure it happened. They offered to send me prints of texts where he was talking about me, so I'd see how he always had great things to say and how much he cared. But I've had it with the print screen drama for life, and said no. To the ones who insisted I told them I wasn't unblocking him, had nothing to say or hear, and if they kept pushing me, I'd block them too.
I ran into EX BF at this book thing I go to often (hobby of mine). Maybe I'm being presumptuous, but I think he went there for me. He didn't really have any business there, but I'm just speculating really. He asked if I had a few minutes for coffee, I said I was late (lie). He walked me to my car. He looked so good, smelled great. He was so sweet. Was even wearing his hair the way I like it. I fell horrible cause even after everything, I still like him. He apologized some more, said he knew I needed time and space but asked if I'd consider giving him another chance cause he would wait for me. Said he would never talk to Jessie again, and would act like they had restraining orders against each other. And I just found it really funny how everything he was saying required me trusting him. Which I don't. So I told him I wasn't interested anymore and he should move on. I wish I said something snappier or wittier. But I had nothing.
This was saturday, I haven't heard from him or friends since. I think that was that.
Jessie also kept trying to talk to me. Like I told some of you on comments, I had a trip coming up, it would have been me, Jessie, EX BF, and a few friends. Since Jessie couldn't afford it, my parents payed for most of her expenses. She must have remembered this right after everything went down and panicked cause I had everything (vouchers, confirmations emails, credit card info...). She went CRAZY. Even showed up at my place (I wasn't home and my roommate told her to fuck off, exact words). I didn't block her at first cause I admit I was having some fun watching her despair.
I talked to my mom and she was amazing. Told me I should cancel everything even if it costed us money, it was fine. So I did. And for one last bit of print screen drama: I printed all the emails I got confirming cancellations and sent those to Jessie with the word "bye" before blocking her.
My roommate has been amazing. We were never really close and now I don't even know why. She cancelled plans with her friends to stay with me and invited me to go out with them next weekend.
A few of you suggested I see a therapist and I did, yesterday. I really liked it. It was just one appointment and I mostly just talked, but it felt good. She gave me "homework": she talked a little about unhealthy and abusive relationships and asked me to think about my friendship with Jessie and try to point what was healthy and what was unhealthy about it. Made me realize she was never really my friend. She was taking advantage of me for years and she even had me thanking her for it. Therapist also told me about this saying (I think that's what it is) called "The Narcissist's Prayer", which goes something like "That didn't happen. If it did, it wasn't my fault. If it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, then you deserved it", which is totally how Jessie is handling this whole thing now.
So good riddance indeed
And a final piece of gossip. "Pete" talked to me yesterday (he is checking up sometimes, he's a good guy. Again, he is gay, in case someone is still thinking this might turn into a romantic comedy) he said Jessie was super sure that since I broke things off, she and Dean would hook up right away. But apparently he doesn't have the same plans and that freaked her out over the weekend. Pete says he really is a mess and went out drinking hard 4 nights in a row to the point he had to be carried home by his pals. And yesterday, they all went out for lunch at this burger place, Jessie was going to run her fingers through his hair or something and he just pushed her away and told her to stop and to never touch him again. (Great that now he manages to do that, huh?)
I guess in the end he really did like me in his sick way. The thing is, I don't want to be with someone who likes me in a sick way. I want to be with someone who likes me in a healthy way. I thin I deserve that.
I am also thinking about taking the money I got back from the trip to go somewhere else by myself. Haven't decided though.
Anyway, this will be the final update on this, since it is unlikely that I will have anything new to add
Now, I think I just need time to heal and let go, you know?
I might come back in a few months if there is reason to do a "yay life is awesome now" post, but I wanted to post this update now cause I wanted to end this whole story on a bright note. And, of course, thank you all again!! You are the best!!
tldr It's all good. As well as could be, anyway! Thank's Reddit!

9 months ago, I (45F) went on 3 dates with a guy (4xM). First date was great, second date was ok, third date was all the red flags.
After the third date (at my place), I told him I wasn’t interested in seeing him again. He made it clear that my opinion on the matter wasn’t important to him, so I blocked him.
Two months later, he left a voicemail. General message was that he really likes me, could I please unblock him and give him another chance. Two months later, another. Several weeks later, another.
A couple of days ago when I checked my mail, there was a card with a return address, no sender name sent to only my first name at my address. It was from him.
My first thought was, I need to file a police report. This seems like escalation.
But, I am from a state that has had our cops in the news a lot for how horrible they are. His messages aren’t actually threatening, just creepy and unhinged.
What is your perspective, ladies? How do I de-escalate and get this man to leave me alone?
ETA: Thank you all for sharing your perspectives. I will file a police report. Now, I just need to decide whether to share these details with my mom and sister today or wait until after the holidays.

So when I try to associate a Xbox controller with ChimeraOS...well a lot of strange things happen. First of all, the devices only show up on the Steam UI randomly, usually after fully power cycling everything (pc, controllers). But not even always then. But they do show up sometimes. Then when they show up, I go to associate the device and there is a spinner that goes for a while, but the device never moves to being associated.
The controllers pair fine with my laptop (MacOS).
The PC with ChimeraOS: Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX H470-I Wifi/Bluetooth Adapter: Intel AX201 Wifi 6 It's internet connection is via ethernet.

Trying to use bluetoothctl seems to follow the same pattern as the UI. Sometimes stuff shows up, but it never pairs.
One time I saw that a folder formed at /valib/bluetooth/XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX/ZZ:ZZ:ZZ:ZZ:ZZ:ZZ but it disappeared almost as soon at it appears. Makes me think it's unpairing immediately or the connection is breaking?
I also tried fiddling with the latency to no avail (though not sure if I did it perfectly) https://github.com/ChimeraOS/chimeraos/issues/820

Is there any obvious fix? Am I better off just buying a usb Bluetooth adapter? If so, which one?
Let me know any other info I should add.

Hi, I have a bunch of emails in my Blocked Senders list which I wish to unblock on Outlook.com. However, whenever I unblock them, save and refresh they are immediately added to the Blocked Senders list again.
I have tried multiple browsers and clearing cache/cookies yet the issue persists. I also tried using the desktop application but still encountered the issue.
Any assistance as to how I can resolve the issue would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Seems the issue has been resolved and now I am able to unblock senders on my blocked list. I have not done anything from my end so I assume the bug was fixed.

For context, my girlfriend (22F) and I (21M) have been dating for about nine months. About a month into our relationship I saw a DM pop up on her Instagram from a guy. Curiosity got the best of me, and I opened up the chat. It was about a 50-message conversation of the guy asking to meet up and my girlfriend telling him no as she had a boyfriend. And that the reason she is choosing me is that I commit to her instead of wanting to be just fuck buddies. I was devastated by the messages as I felt it was very disrespectful to message back guys wanting to hook up, even if it was just saying no for such prolonged periods. I felt it should be an instant block, and such messages should not be responded to. When I confronted her, she initially lied that she never met the guy and it was a joke. After days of back and forth, she admitted this guy we can call L, is a past hookup. Further, she said she made the comments about not wanting him because of his lack of commitment to rub it in his face that he "fucked it up," and now she moved on. She admitted this was very wrong and never should have happened and it was her immaturity and attention-seeking that led to this. After that, she did a lot to makeup for this, including giving me log-ins to all socials, and blocking L and any other guy I asked for. Given this decided to stay in the relationship.
Fast forward 8 months and I have no problems with her commitment or messaging any people. Just one time where her and her friends made a fake snap account to message past guys but it was under a fake name and I saw the account, and its subsequent deletion, so I forgave that too. I know this is not right but just because of the past incidents in addition to looking at her socials which I have log in for; I occasionally look through her phone. I stopped this as I never found anything despite in depth search. However today she received a DM on Instagram from a mutual Instagram follower guy she has with L (past hookup) saying he is asking to be unblocked. This put me in a rage, and I just messaged back saying no fuck off and unfollowed the guy. Usually, when guys slide into her DM, she lets me troll them or block them, I never had issues with this. At this point, it is worth noting that L and his friend live in Europe and we live in NA with no plans of moving back. So there was no actual way they could have met up or my girlfriend could meet the guy who sent the message. However now, she seemed upset that I also blocked the guy who sent the message. She was upset not that I said no to his request but that I also unfollowed his account. She reasoned she was just guy that was nice to her and used to hang out with her bigger group of girlfriends when she was still living in Europe. I told her, especially given the history with L, even if it was a past acquaintance his link to L should disqualify him from having contact with her. At this point, I tried reasoning with theoretical situations, like what if my past gf ( who she hates) had her friend that I knew hit me up asking to be unblocked; and I replied no but kept the girl who asked the question on my Insta. She admitted she would not allow this, but kept going on about how this situation is different. She chose to highlight how she is actually good friends with the sender of the message and having him on Insta does not effect how distant she wants to be from L. After I told her I still felt this was not right, she switched her defense to saying she was only saying all this to piss me off as because she felt I was inappropriate in responding in her name. And said if I just left it to her, she would have ignored the message and unfollowed the guy anyway. And that her being close to this guy who sent the message was mostly made up. Given her initial defense and history with things like this, I have my doubts about this. To her benefit, I had never any questions that she is faithful, again I never found anything on her phone, she does not go clubbing, she never hung out with a guy "friends" or asks to, never around guys in general, shares location, and we have been living together for 3 months. But could the above be a red flag that she will not be committed in the future, wants guys in her back pocket, has attention issues, or is still hung up on L and wants to keep the friend added as some sort of link to him? I would love opinions!
