Hi all.
Apologies if this has been done before but I am going to ask the question anyway. Has anyone of you ever been stalked? An ex boyfriend of mine whom I lived with for a year around 11 years ago stalked me for a year after we broke up. He used to follow me back from work and stand outside my window at my student flat and call me every 15 minutes. He even repeatedly put a screw driver into my then new boyfriend's tyres. Eventually, I moved and managed to lose him. The weird thing is, I think he just moved into my neighbourhood. Seriously, I am not worried as the stalking happened a decade ago.
I guess I was wondering if something like this ever happened to anyone else? I know some friends of mine who had stalkers who tracked them down through the internet.
Thanks
I was stalked on occasion by an obsessive adulterous wife. I refused to acknowledge her when she turned up unarranged, but would meet her after making arrangements. It took about 2 years for her to give up.
It is a nuisance. But it is the consequences of making an unfortunate choice of partner.
i personally have not been stalked but i was talking to a very good friend last night. she had not talked to me for 6 months.
apparently she had an relationship with a guy and moved into his flat. things did not work out well and they had to move on.
the guy followed her to her house.
he apperently cut the brakes of her car. she was lucky not to have an accident.
then he threw a petrol bottle into her living house. burnt all her front and kitchen.
it has been a disaster for her.
the guy now is in jail
but he has made her life a hell but thanks now she is recovering and getting back to her feet.
Yes there has been some change in the law regarding this kind of thing. But implementing it requires the usual series of formalities to achieve. Proof etc. A long time usually. During which your stalker could carry out some spectacular stunts.
A guy came freakishly close. I stopped leaving the house, and eventually had him warned off. He decided to pick on someone else and it became so serious he was reported and sectioned. He's back out now and I'm hoping to god he doesn't end up back inside, cos I'm now working in the unit he was sectioned in! :shock:

I haven't been stalked but I do know of a lady who was stalked by a man who made contact through a swinging website (not this one, I might add!). She kept all the text messages, logged calls to her home 'phone and took pics of him hanging around for her. He was prosecuted eventually, but she was in a real state for months.
Yes... a few years ago i was stalked for about 4 months by someone i had met in a professional capacity.... this guy found out my address by following me home one evening... I have never been so frightened in all my life. He told me that one day he would get me by breaking into the house.... needless to say i called the police. they took it very seriously... as i knew his name they put finding him a priority as they seriously considered my personal safety was at risk!!! It took about 4 months to eventually find him as he kept moving but would follow me in his car by waiting outside where i work... It was very very scarey, but something that i have dealt with... hence taking up kick-boxing!!!!!!!

Yes, I`ve been stalked by someone I met on another forum. We went out about 6 times and he did not take me ending things well atall. He got into my email accounts and contacted everyone in my address book, calling me all sorts, pretended to be me on MSN and signed me up for every mailing list he could find. He also posted personal ads pretending to be me on a few extremely dodgy "dating" sites, he even posted my mobile phone number on one which is how I found out about what he was up to - a strange bloke called me at on Saturday morning. I reported him to the police, they cautioned him and, apart from a very immature "get the last word in" email from him, I haven`t heard from him for 2 months.
A friend of mine was stalked by some guy she'd never actually said 'hello' to. He used to follow her around. The police said they couldn't do anything. Then last year it escalated. At the end of every month he used to tip a family sized tin of baked beans all over her car and leave the tin on the roof. This happened for five or six months until the police videod (is that a word?) him doing it and managed to put a restriction order on him. It all seems pretty funny but she was terrified.
You have to wonder what goes thru their minds. What a waste of energy and what a waste of baked beans.
She pointed him out to me on the mains street once - he was in his fifties and looked totally normal. Strange.
I was stalked for about a year, 10 years ago. I had an affair behind my husbands back for about 6 months with a man twice my age who only lived around the corner from us (stupid i know!!) He was also the local hardman and an alcoholic...so I later learnt....and when I ended it he wouldn't leave it be! Every night he would come back after he had been out drinking and bang on the door and shout through the letter box, he would post love letters and cards and stay on my doorstep for hours at a time. He would follow me to work and make a nuisance of himself and constantly harrass me and tell me how much he loved me. He was very threatening too though and on one occasion actually knocked me out when I told him to go away!.....obviously my husband found out shortly after this started happening and sorted things out the best way he could think of....with his fists... This continued for about a year and in the end we had to move house because it got so bad. Thankfully to this day we have not seen or heard from him.
I admit it was my own fault but it was a truly scary experience..
