Passive-aggressive acquaintance

Is it normal for an acquaintance to send you passive-aggressive texts? This person has a bit of a history of doing this. On New Year's Day he sent me a passive-aggressive text hinting that he was pissed off that I hadn't wished him a happy new year that day. In fact, I had already wished him a happy new year along with merry Christmas in response to a text from him on Christmas day in which he wished me a merry Christmas.

Since then I haven't heard much from this guy. I was quite happy about that since I had hoped, and am still hoping, to gradually cut off contact with him. He is one of those people who always make everything about themselves, and take the tiniest things really personally. I've already written about his strange behaviour here: http://isitnormal.com/story/is it normal for-someone-to-ask-if-they-forced-you-to-meet-with-them-189313/

He's now going to a different university than me but still in the same city. Therefore I really hoped that he would stop contacting me.

However, just two days ago I got another passive-aggressive text from him. Apparently he is now pissed off that I don't tell him enough details about my life.

I showed both his latest text and the text from New Year's Day to my boyfriend to get a second opinion. He agrees that both texts are passive-aggressive. Him and my acquaintance have never met each other, though.

The reason why I got to know this toxic person is because of a mutual friend. I didn't realise at first how crazy he was.

I'm not actually sure how he got my cell phone number since I never gave it to him. Therefore he must have gotten it from someone else.

Just to provide some more context to all of this, I'm a woman and the passive-aggressive acquaintance is a gay guy.

    Simple. Block his number. Don't read his texts. Or get a new number.

    A certain Dr on US TV would say "You teach people how to treat you". Teach this loser right out of your life.

    Stop talking to this guy. Idk why it's so hard for people to stop talking to people who are assholes. Just tell him to stop being so condescending or fuck off. It's that simple -.-

      The only reason why I haven't stopped talking to this guy is because I have a lot of issues in my life right now as it is, and therefore really don't want to have to deal with the stress that could come from ignoring him. He is very good at making other people feel bad for him. Therefore he could seriously convince those people to harrass me. That's why I'm only gradually cutting off contact, so he hopefully won't notice what I'm doing. I hope he'll just lose interest in sending me those texts, which he really should soon.
