I had an acquaintance who was becoming obsessive and intrusive and told him to leave me alone. I have a partner. This acquaintance has nothing going for him in his life. Luckily he has left me alone since. Today I met a mutual friend and he has been telling her all my personal business over the months as she has told me what was said. I don’t want everyone knowing all my business.
I mentioned to him a while back I was being harassed by this friend’s ex and had to block him as he was an abusive person, for some reason he told her and says do you want to talk about your abusive ex. She is annoyed and I said I wasn’t talking about her and I just said I don’t want to hear off her ex again as he wasn’t a nice person. It makes me look untrustworthy. She also said she doesn’t like this acquaintance as he is always negative and why would she want to talk about her abusive ex. I have told her to tell him to leave her alone.
He is an extremely negative person and is now trying to ruin our friendship. She said she has had enough of his negativity too. We have been friends for 20 years and we have known this mentally unstable acquaintance for 18 months.
