my last girlfriend was pretty clingy before i had to block her. i’m engaged now but she was still telling people i was her boyfriend. it was weird and annoying. clearly staying friends wasn’t working out, so i blocked her.

I wouldn’t call it clingy so much as my ex was a stalker who followed me 1300 miles..

No, not for many years now. This all happened 2008-10. I threatened a restraining order, and claimed I was sending everything to my attorney, including over a year worth of unanswered monthly “still made at me?” type of messages, and never heard from them again.

Several years later I learned they became a felon for sexual assault of another person (idk the person, but it does make keeping tabs on the stalker very easy as they are on the offender registry).

Soon I’ll be moving away from the area entirely and I’ll feel a lot better.
