Hi,
Last year I posted about a date that I went on with an awful man. Granted, it was only one date. I'm a paediatrician and he kept making 'jokes' the whole evening calling me a 'pedo' because it sounded similar to 'paediatrician'.
It was pathetic to say the least - and insulting given my line of work.
A few weeks went by and I updated my post to say he texted me from another number calling me a 'snobby bitch'. Everyone here on MN was horrified as I was. I informed my employer for safeguarding reasons - and the police as he wouldn't stop. He then stopped.
Per my last update - I since got a rescue dog and am happy (single - by choice!) I have had a lot of grief in recent years due to bereavements.
Anyway, we are almost a year later (9 months later) now - and I am horrified to share that he was in the news for physically and sexually assaulting a woman. I won't say too much more, but I have reached out to the authorities to (again) share the numbers he'd be using (upon advice) to harass me and reiterate that this is a person who needs to be locked up. I'm not comparing a bad date and his nasty texts to physical/sexual assault (which this poor woman suffered).
I just want to thank everyone who supported me.
I am thinking of this poor woman tonight and praying for her. (She will be fine in that it wasn't fatal - but obviously she will be traumatised and in deep mental/emotional pain).
I'm not sure why I'm sharing this - and am teary eyed as I type. Just wanted to say thank you to everyone. Please pray for this woman tonight.
