Question - (22 December 2008) 10 Answers - (Newest, 7 January 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, *ittleMissy writes:

Well theres this guy I work with hes 30, I'm 19, was 18 at the time. He kinda manipulated me into a 'relationship', making me feel sorry for him, etc. He used to accuse me of sleeping with guys, having AIDs,go through my bag and my phone, he was obsessed with me he thought I was absolutely perfect apart from I apparantly slept around and he even used to wait outside my house all day to check on me. He took my friends number from my phone, he asked me for it I told him flat out no, shes 17. he took it anyway to see if she could tell him any stuff that i'd apparantly lied about, like i'd say I couldn't meet him cos I was at school, and I'd be lying. He used to pressure me, push me, manipulate and sometimes even force me for sex constantly. I asked him to leave me alone I know this is not normal. I'v been trying to find a new job, its only part time but I cant leave cos i'm a student and my family need the money I bring in desperately. So anyway he started saying I'm a slag and I broke his heart and I used him, I may have broke his heart, but not on purpose as he seems to think and I'm certtainly not a slag and I did't use him. He cried and threatened to kill himself and stuff and I was nice to him cos I felt mean and all this was my fault then he blackmailed me into sex one more time saying if i didnt he would tell my family and my boss i was a slag and show my text messages aas proof, I was crying all the way through and then he said to me he had videod it. so now he still goes through my bag and my phone and accuses me of sleeping with everyone, he waits near my house all days and says he has evidence of men going in. he doesn't but if he did, in my opinion, what is it to do with him, surely if i was sleeping around the only person who should be concerned is my new boyfriend. so hes basically following me and accusuing me of stuff and he justifies it all by he 'loves' me. the other night at work he grabbed hold of me and started touching me.he claimed that since everyone else wsa allowed, he was I was crying my eyes out so my boss dragged it all out of me. didnt tell him that hed touched me just about the texts and him being near my house. hes now turned it round and claimed that i'm stalking him saying I love him basically doing what hes doing to me. he said to me the police wont care as everytime hes text me iv replied either in anger or telling him not to kill himself as hes threatened, hes saying its all my fault iv made him crazy and hes gonna show this tape hes apparantly made and all my texts to my family. I don't know what to do anymore i feel likee ki;;ing myself is this my fault?

Griffo agony auntNo, its all cool. Get the restraining order today. Circumstances have changed dramatically and because you loved him you've just tried to be there for him... its time to look after yourself and move on. Be strong and focused.

Look forward to the future.

Gem86 agony auntHi, this sounds like an awful situation hun, it must be really hard for you right now!

Firstly, this is NOT your fault. This is a man who's clearly a little bit unhinged (thats the nicest way for me to put it!!). He's the kind who wants to possess women, and believe me, you didnt cause the behaviour!!

So, what I suggest you do now, is gather together all the evidence you have, the texts the emails, whatever you have. And keep anything you recieve from this point also. I also suggest that you keep a diary of the things he says to you, or when he's following you. Then, you take it all to the Police, and tell them how threatened you feel. They have to do something about this, and they WILL take you serously.

I also think that you should definately tell your parents whats happening. Leave your job immediately, you can get another. And I'm sure that your parents would be more than happy to help you out financially at this time. You need to get some distance between you and this man.

He's a very unstable person, so you have to avoid being around him. You didnt cause any of this, so I suggest you literally remove him from your life. It may be difficult at first, but believe me, I'm certain youre a strong person who can get through it.

All the best, good luck x

deejuliet agony auntDo not erase his texts. Document, document, document. Keep a log of all the things he says and does. Contact the police immediately. This is very wrong and he should know it. As another poster said, trying to blame you for HIS bad behaviour and for 'driving him crazy' are typical abuser tactics. Get help now!!

Fatherly Advice agony auntLittle Missy your former relationship and your texting to him do not change the facts. I believe you have a very good case. The record of his texts will probably be helpful in getting the restrainig order. He is doing a very efective job of convincing you that you are at fault for his bad behavour. This is a common tactic for these preditors. Don't believe it. FA

Thanks guys,will the fact that I'v replied to his texts make it more difficult in getting some kind of restraining order?

and could this still be classed as harrasment/ sexual harrasment if we used to be in some kind of relationship?

Fatherly Advice agony auntONE get legal help. In the states you could get a restraining order. Next he dosn't love you and probably never has. He just wants to own you, which is moraly ethically and legally WRONG. FA
