My ex won’t leave me alone—he texts, calls, and even shows up at my work. It’s been months since we broke up, and I’m starting to feel scared. Is this obsessive ex syndrome? How do I get him to stop without escalating things?
- Document all interactions with him—text messages, calls, sightings.
- Clearly communicate boundary boundaries: tell him explicitly to stop contacting you.
- Block his number and social media accounts.
- In serious cases, consider a restraining order.
- Report to authorities if he continues to harass or threaten you.
- Seek support from a mental health professional or local support groups.
