ik he doesn’t care about consent

That’s it. That’s all your post needed to include. Literally everything else is unnecessary. Your history with your ex is irrelevant to this critical factor.

This is the only piece of information that matters, and it screams, “Hell, no.” This man shouldn’t exist in your romantic space.

Fight the loneliness by working hard over a year to build platonic friendships with groups of people. And then you’ll be able to reenter the arena of romance with a level head, unclouded. Don’t let loneliness cave your standards down. That almost never leads to anything lasting and satisfactory. I’m sorry for the pain you’re going through but the guy you say you’re considering will only severely worsen things, based on your descriptions.

If I were you, I would probably try to automate this by building my own macro/s using MacroDroid.

Make a script using AutoHotkey (ask for help in !ahk@programming.dev) that goes through the list in a Windows desktop browser and remotely installs the apps to the device one by one. That’s how I’d do it, anyway.

That’s not what I meant:

1. Google Voice doesn’t fit in the traditional mold of SMS. Its messages exclusively use its own app (or the browser) and doesn’t get classified as SMS in phones as they don’t use SIM cards.
2. What I was really getting at is that it’d be harder for me to leave since I’m dependent on Google for a major service, arguably one that’s almost as important as email…

*laughs in Google Voice*

I’m screwed…
