AIBU to want out after being love bombed so quickly

I know I am being love bombed. Relentless texting, false promises, the L word so soon. I want out of this relationship but what is the best way to escape this sort of person?

I did try, it says that the police give you the outcome face to face and it all seems a bit dramatic.

It's all for the best. You should have agreed for them to come to you. A lot simpler and quicker, especially if there's no issues. Being on your own turf would give you more confidence.

op, your better off knowing one way or another. You have done right recognising the signs and moving toward a way out.

What rubbish...I cannot imagine posting with such energy to attack someone who is afraid. Of course OP is not solely responsible for her own safety. The individual shouldn't be harassing her, the police ought to be approachable and trusted. Community, like MN, should offer support. Victim attacking at its finest. Yuck

What are you talking about? Such energy? And attacking? It’s not victim attacking or blaming at all. You’ve completely and wilfully misunderstood. He sounds dangerous and that is neither the fault nor the responsibility of the OP. Nor is she responsible for any treatment she experiences at his hands. That’s all on him.

Pointing out to her that she’s the only person who can ask for the help that she very clearly needs, and that she has to take responsibility for asking for that help, is not the same thing at all. She didn’t say at that point that the police weren’t approachable or to be trusted. She didn’t say she was in fear of the police, or of what would happen to her if she went to the police. She said she didn’t go through with the application because it all seemed a bit dramatic. Nobody else can do that for her. That’s the bit that she alone has to be responsible for, which she’s done now and hopefully the police will be able to put a stop to his behaviour now.

I wish I never did it.

I hope you’re ok @Pistachioo
