I have an answering machine’s microcassette stashed in case a psycho comes back to haunt me. This shit DEFINITELY existed 30 years ago, just in a different form.
Maybe consider digitizing that cassette, or at least listening to it to make sure it’s still usable (assuming you can stomach it). Cassette mediums degrade over time and it’s quite possible that microcassete could be reaching the end of its usable life: …wikipedia.org/…/Preservation_of_magnetic_audiota…
Ok, that is a potential dangerous person you don’t want in your life. Be polite, calm and non provocative and get away from her. In the end she will switch her fixation from you.
That’s basically it. Romantic obsession can look a lot like mental illness, and definitely feels like it. Being charitable to the guy, he might look back on this and wonder what the hell was going on in his head.
I know I’ve been through a breakup that nearly killed me, and sheer white-knuckling restraint is the only thing that stopped me acting like this. It’s like a bereavement, but you also know the person is twenty minutes down the road.
Or he might have been like this through the whole relationship, who knows.
Honestly, considering the last two texts, a restraining order is only a piece of paper, she should get a gun too unless she can carry a police officer around with her.
Dude was crazy the whole time but “I’m going to come back and do something” is actually pretty serious imo, and the cops won’t act on it as a threat in my area because it is too unspecific, so I’m on my own.
