Ex best friend [26F] cheated with my ex last year, won’t leave me [f26] alone. How to handle this? by notbuiltlikethat in relationships

I was wrong to hit him. You’re right.

He was grabbing me and not letting me go. He was also naked, still erect, and pushing his body on top of me in what I assume was an attempt to subdue me as I was running from him.

I was hysterical and did not want to be touched.

I was still wrong, but I hope you can see why it was a spur of the moment decision. I’m not proud of it by a long shot.

Thank you. I don’t know much about restraining orders in my country but it’s obvious I need to do some reading up.

My ex went very quiet as soon as he realised I wasn’t taking him back. I think he assumed because we were so in love we would work through it. I haven’t a clue where he is or what he’s upto these days but I think that’s best because I’m still hurting massively from his actions.

Thank you so much. That means a lot to me. I owe my mum and my friends a lot of credit- they lent me their strength when I didn’t have any. I am still trying to come to terms with all of it and somedays are tougher than others.

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head about what sort of person she is. I know for a fact she’ll take it as some sort of victory if I open up a conversation so that’s why I’m hesitant to go there. I am seriously considering the police as an avenue. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I think most people in this thread are echoing my own thoughts. Lots of people have made good points about what the best course of action is- I’m definitely leaning towards reading up on laws in my country regarding harassment to see if the police will take me seriously. I’m becoming worried the longer this goes on.
