Stalking

[H2O Man]

10. That's a good example

of the terrible situations that this type of shitstain creates. I'm glad that you got out of it. And I can't help but add that a good German shepherd is a great resource in such a situation. They are highly intelligent, and capable of knowing if someone has good or bad intentions. At least that's my experience.

When couples are splitting up, we know that there is the highest risk for women. Tensions remain high if any one of three factors are in play. The first two are children and resources, such as joint property. The third is when a fellow thinks/says, "If she would just listen to me ....." No, sir, she has listened to you for years, and no longer wants to hear your voice or see your face or feel your touch.That last line is one I used when my job placed that type of guy in my office.

Unfortunately, that becomes the point in which some men become extremely frustrated, and fully invested in the "if I can't have her" bit. And that is always dangerous. Very dangerous.

I'm glad that you are out of that situation. And mighty glad that you are here, in the DU community!
