So, if you leave your house these people you have never met accost you outside? And you are unable to block their calls and messages, or turn off your phone?

You literally could not have used any less punctuation in this post.

Welcome, I enjoyed your post. I think your problem stems from your occupation. You might consider a career change – arms dealer, kindergarten teacher, or maybe, oh, I don’t know - crash test dummy?

i thought we had decided to set up a forum for wall of text posts because it takes a certain skill to read them and interpret them and frankly to tolerate them. i sometimes set them to mental music like for example “yankee doodle dandy” and that makes them more interesting and fun to read and i don’t feel like i’m being stalked by an unpunctuated nightmare like the nightmare i have about the creature in the next room and it won’t leave me alone no matter how much i try its like that girlfriend i used to have or the kidney stone i have right now that still won’t fucking go away. it hurts man. so the wall of text is like a wall that keeps out the pain is anyone still reading this you fucking masochists and i wish people would put stuff in paragraphs and stuff.

I’m more for the picket fence of text, myself.

Also, I’m a bit afraid to even post in this thread, as I’m feeling a certain inexorable…compulsion to get to know the OP better.

A new poster launching in with questions about a somewhat unusual relationship problem?

Beeatch-

You never answered my question. Is this the same guy who has hinted at double suicide as part of your “love story?”

Did he send you, “…that meme of a girl trying to escape from a guy, and it says if he was my boyfriend, he would never let me go.?”

If so, may I suggest this…  
You better run for your life if you can, little girl  
Hide your head in the sand little girl  
Catch you with another man  
That’s the end ah little girl

Well I know that I’m a wicked guy  
And I was born with a jealous mind  
And I can’t spend my whole life  
Trying just to make you toe the line

You better run for your life if you can, little girl

If we’re doing a group serenade, I’ll contribute this for the guy to sing:

\*Remember when you ran away and I got on my knees and begged you not to leave because I’d go berzerk?  
Well, you left me anyhow and the days got worse and worse and now you see I’ve gone completely out of my mind.

And They’re coming to take me away Ha Ha  
They’re coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha  
to the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time, and I’ll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats  
and they’re coming to take me away ha ha\*

May I have that, please?

It will be my _“Let’s go to the quarry and throw stuff down there”_ post for when I want to convey that I found something amusing.
