SandyFall Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 I'm being completely serious in the title. To make a very long story short, my ex boyfriend is mentally disturbed and delusional by believing that we're going to get back together once I "come around." Mind you, I have told him repeatedly that we will not get back together. When we were together, he was physically abusive and impulsive. He's been harassing me for the past few months and threatening to come visit me. He also has issues with substance abuse. I've been feeling concerned about my safety especially with his recent threats so I'm in the process of obtaining a restraining order against him. In the meantime, I've been dating an awesome guy for the past month. Since we've only known each other for a month, I feel kinda weird mentioning out of nowhere "Oh by the way, I'm getting a restraining order...." That just seems uncalled for since it doesn't pertain to him and I don't want it to scare him away. However, I also think it would be really weird to call him up frantically (after I call 911 of course) one day telling him that my ex is violating the restraining order. I don't want him to say "Why didn't you tell me about all this?!" What would be the right thing to do? If you were the guy I was dating, would you want to know right now? Later? Never? FYI the current guy knows absolutely nothing about my ex.
