Relationship Discussion (non-explicit)
Yeah, you're a gem. |
Imagine how he would feel if your ex posted naked pictures of you online. Do not give in to your ex. Call the cops and get a restraining order. If he contacts you or your family he can get arrested. That's usually very effective deterrent for most people. |
This. Tell your family that he is a crazy stalker. |
You say that like it's a bad thing. If OP were empowered to take control and responsibility for her own sexuality, she wouldn't be in this fix. |

OP, please ignore the people who are saying the police won't do anything - they most certainly will.
In college I had a boyfriend who would not leave me alone. He did not threaten me with violence or try to extort me for naked pictures. He just wouldn't take no for an answer. After I lost my patience I called the police - they talked to him and said one more unwanted contact would result in a restraining order. That was enough to deter my ex. Your ex is harassing you at the least and exporting you at the worst. Please get the police involved. They can help. |
Are you in DC, MD or VA? Restraining order in DC is pretty easy to get. You file, you have good reason, judge looks at it, you get temporary order till hearing, he gets served (scares the shit out of him) and has to show up at court. If he calls during that time before the hearing he has just violated the order, turn him in. Then they will put out a bench warrant for him or possibly even just go pick him up on the spot. All the things involved with a RO will motivate him to cut it out. My sister is divorcing and her husband got real crazy and was stalking her like crazy. When you get served papers to show up in court, it is like a come to jesus meeting. |

OP go out and buy The Gift of Fear by Gavin DeBecker. He has specific step by step instructions to help in situations like this.
http://www.nytimes.com/1998/08/25/science/personal-health-do-s-and-don-ts-for-thwarting-stalker.html "He said that when an unwanted pursuer starts making persistent phone calls, sending messages, showing up uninvited at a woman's job, school or home, following her or trying to get her friends or family to help his cause, ''it is very important that no further detectable response be given.'' Mr. de Becker added: ''He views any response as progress. If you call the pursuer back, or agree to meet, or send him a note or have somebody warn him off, you buy another six weeks of his unwanted pursuit.''" |
| If he does tell your parents, tell them he is lying or crazy or a stalker or something. |
I agree. That's why you need to call the police and report this. You can tell your parents that he used to be a friend who became obsessed with you and won't take no for an answer. The restraining order will help get him out of your life faster and will give you credibility with your family if he does contact them. |

"Dad this guy is saying awful things about me. What should I do?"
|
|
OP - could it be that he demanding naked pix b/c he doesn't have any other solid proof that you were together (i.e., anything that he could show to your parents that you had an intimate relationship).
DO NOT send these to him. |

This OP is a troll who has started a number of dramatic threads, frequently involving boyfriends though occasionally veering off into underwear.
