It depends on how bad it is. For me, I completely ignored him. No replying, ever, to emails, texts, phone calls. I had to change my number four or five times; I found out he was getting my new numbers by bribing a Verizon Wireless employee, so I changed carriers.
I got an apartment with a garage so he couldn’t tell if I was home. Always kept some lamps on as well, for the same reason. Always double locked the doors. I kept a gun in my bedroom.
We worked at the same company, but in different locations. I also told my boss, and he had the badge system changed so the guy couldn’t get into the office. The guy was in a union, and I talked to a union boss I was friends with; he told the guy he would support his firing if he ever tried to contact me again at work.
I think police reports and restraining orders can sometimes be helpful, but I knew it would escalate things in my situation. This was a guy I dated for 5+ years.
I phoned his dad and told him that if he didn’t get his son under control, I’d involve the police.
Changed my number after getting a new modem and router. New email address and moved halfway across the country. Deleted any and all socials. Rented paying cash to a friend of a friend until I could buy a home and paid for my name to be listed as private on the title so it wasn’t listed on public sites.
I was really lucky and he disappeared himself. Or at least no appearance in my life i could notice.
I got a boyfriend, honestly. Once he moved in with me and I started posting cutesy couples stuff on my socials more, the guy backed off.
Had to move out of the city
