I'm glad. Often times we get questions that we really can't help with, or people that don't want advice, they just want someone to tell them what they want to hear.

It's a lot easier to give advice to someone that actually listens. You've been a breath of fresh air. :)

It's also nice to talk to someone that's obviously intelligent. It's been a pleasure helping you with this issue, and I'll continue to post as long as you need advice.

Wow! I don't know how else to avoid this person! I am actually at that point that I am getting scared of what he would do next.

I woke up and got a very, very, very long email from him saying that he thinks I NEED professional help because my obsession with him is not healthy. He said that my interacting with people we both know is creeping him out because it's a desperate ploy to get HIS attention (all I discussed with the person he was referring to was the 4th of July and fireworks). He said that I tried to buy his friendship by giving him gifts (the one for Christmas and the trinkets) and that it reeks of desperation on my part to attain his friendship that way. He said that I only spend time with my other friends to cope with his absence and that I need to work on my life without him. He constantly mentioned how everything in my Facebook is about him (in my mind I was thinking, if I am the one obsessed why are you always on my FB?) which I thought was funny because I post about things I eat, travels and funny internet memes.

A friend mentioned that his attitude sounds like someone with a Narcissistic Personality Disorder and I am at the point of getting devalued and discarded. I am not a psychiatrist so I can't say that he does have that but when I read about it, it is eerily spot on.

I am at that point that I think I need to change my phone number. I already blocked his email, blocked him from FB but I can't stop him from sending text messages to my Iphone. Right now he is not because from his email he said he is done with me, but I don't know for how long will he really stay away.
