Last September I met a new guy – he seemed lovely. Kind, considerate, intelligent. I was pretty pleased, thought I'd finally found a nice one!
All was fine, in fact very fun, for a bit, but then he started to become possessive. I grew up around possessive men, so I was immediately wary, but also worried that I was imagining the behaviour because I'm always looking for it, iyswim?
But last month, things got much worse – lots of jealousy, fury if I mentioned anything related to past relationships. Even if I said 'when I lived in X city', and didn't mention the person, he'd be instantly livid. He was checking up on me constantly, and didn't even like me hanging out with female friends. Obviously, I got shot of him.
It was a glorious relief – but he will not leave me alone. I'm ignoring all the messages and gifts (he is a big giver of gifts), but it's having no effect. I'm starting to feel a little frightened, actually.
On top of that, I have had the most vile metallic taste in my mouth for two days now, and when I googled (that's how I found this site) found loads of stuff on this being a symptom of pregnancy. I don't think that's very likely – we always used condoms, although he complained about them constantly –but obviously that's another stress.
I just hoped someone might have some advice on how to stop the emailing/texting/sending of flowers? I realise I should have jumped ship sooner, I do feel an idiot.
