Romantic Revenge

All romantic relationships must one day come to an end, of course except the one that does not. For all those others, the end happens. Many people experience amicable endings as they separate from someone they were intimate with for a long time, while others are not quite as lucky.

Most people have the one story of all sorts of crazy stuff that happened with they broke up with a boyfriend or girlfriend. The end of a long-term relationship can simply prove too much for some people, and they snap and begin doing things that they would never have predicted they would be doing previously.

It’s funny how people can really hurt the ones they love. Some of the crazy stuff exes do to try to retain a connection with their ex can be kind of scary for the person who is having the stuff done to them. It can be anything from calling and hanging up to driving by the house at night to see if there are other cars there. This is verging on stalker behavior and is uncomfortable for many people who have it done to them. There are anti-stalking laws in some states, but even in those states certain criteria must be met to charge an alleged stalker. Primarily, threats have to be made for the police to get involved.

The reason this is such crazy stuff is because the person doing these actions believes that through these potentially harmful or scary actions, they believe that their former lover will come back. In fact, the actions and stalker behavior is driving them farther and farther away, leaving no chance to get back together. Some people will even begin to get sort of crazy even while the relationship is going on. For instance, there are several cases of people threatening to kill themselves if they are broken up with by their boyfriend or girlfriend.

That might work in the short term, but it will never work in the long run. That’s because the person has showed themselves as someone who involves themselves in crazy stuff. No one wants to be connected with that. Therefore, the best thing to do is go to the police, even though they will probably not be able to help you. So, document every time the ex does something weird that crosses a boundary. You can build a case and make sure you can stop this activity sooner or later.
