Most of you know my situation with my H leaving 4 weeks ago as he's having an affair with a woman at work - and I'm struggling, really struggling.
A week after he left, something was stolen in my garden, this has happened before but now I'm on my own, I feel especially vulnerable. I encountered a violent robbery by 5 men when I was pregnant and I still get nightmares.
I called the police and a PCSO came to see me, gave me advice on how I can secure the house etc and gave me his work mobile number. He said to call or text him whenever I heard a noise or just felt something wasn't right. He insisted, anytime and he or someone else would be out in minutes. I felt safe and thought he was very kind.
About 30 minutes after he left, he text me to remind him to contact him for anything. A week later, he text me again asking how I was etc etc. There were about 5 texts. I thanked him for remembering me and he said he always remembers the nice people.
I felt like I had my own personal security guard and felt he was being so kind - still do. Made me smile for first time in months. It doesn't hurt to let the police know that I'm on my own either.
I told my DB how nice he'd been and checking up on me and my DB said I need to be careful, that I am vulnerable and it's not normal procedure for him to do that. I think my DB is just being protective, I think this guy just takes pride in his work and has a caring attitude - he's very young too and probably is keen to do his job to the best he can.
It's been playing on my mind since with what my DB said. What do you think? Is it normal?
