LoveandSuch Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 I have read many threads about men and women being platonic friends. I advise against them unless it is someone you really trust. I was friends with a man who I did not know at the time had a girlfriend(s) or denied it. It ended up he did and she or they whoever were pissed when they found out. The problems have not just recently occurred but have always occured with this particular person. I am not sure how many women they had been stringing along. But ever since I first started the friendship a little over a year ago, he had his FB hacked by girls, I have had mine hacked. We ended the platonic friendship months ago, but I still am having prank calls in all forms, email accounts being made to look as if they are mine, much more. I have attempted to figure out what is going on, through companies, FB, Email companies, phone, but none can help. I have closed down all and blocked all I can to associate with this person, but am still having problems with someone trying to set up accounts to wierd sites...I know this through email attempting to get verification. Hopefully since I blocked everything possible it will stop. I just feel raped in a way. Just a warning when you think just being friends with someone is easy. I hope the harrassment will stop from whomever this female is, she will get the hint that I have never had anything remotely close to a physical or intimate relationship with her guy.
The Outlaw Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 I'm sorry about that-but while everyone needs to be cautious about 'platonic' friends, no matter who they are, where they are, or even if they're friends in real time or the internet of all places, everyone deserves to be given the benefit of a doubt. Not doubting what you're saying in the slightest, I've got a few and I'm still careful with the thing, but they deserve a shot until they PROVE they can in fact be trusted. If they can't be trusted, then it's best to use caution the next time around. It's just a pity that people will stoop down to this level and do things like this to other people because they're miserable in their own lives, and are trying to find some form of 'entertainment' in harrassing other people for kicks
Author LoveandSuch Posted September 29, 2011 Author Posted September 29, 2011 It has been really strange. I tried calling my wireless company to trace the harrassing calls and texts to no avail. They have no way of doing thay because of the way my phone is set up. I have had my FB hacked. I had received anonymous emails talking trash and basically trashing me and telling me so and so is trashing me. It really through me for a loop, was hurtful at first, just mad now. I tried to clarify things with the original ass, but any return info was so vague, I do believe the trash talk that was wrote to me about what this person said about me. I did block as much as possible, wrote because of no phone contacts given for companies to have a few email adresses deleted because they are not mine. The others I could do because of the verification processes. I had time the other day to block all and hopefully will work.
The Outlaw Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Is it just one person who is doing it to you? More than one? What a couple of butts
Author LoveandSuch Posted September 29, 2011 Author Posted September 29, 2011 I am not too sure, I would not imagine it to be more than one, but could be. I tried to warm up to the friend, as in keeping a snake in site, to find out a little more. But was not given any info, short replies, and I did not want to elaborate much more and give the wrong innuendo, like I was trying to get with them. I would have liked to have found out if what was said was true. If there was all the trash talking. But, at this point I do not care. The mere thought of running into or having to see this person makes me physically ill. Just a warning to all, do not trust anyone, it is sad to have to think like that, but it is such good advice! Well, at least for me.
The Outlaw Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 It's kind of hard to trust a face you can't see-I get that. I've got a few internet friends as of right now on another site like this. They're great, but there's always a shred of doubt as to who I'm really talking to-
spiderowl Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 It sounds like you are being harassed and it amounts to stalking, albeit by another female. I don't know if there are any crime-fighting bodies who help with this kind of internet harassment but maybe you could find out. Unless your guy friend makes it a habit to make friends of girls and upset his previous friends/girlfriends as a result, it sounds like a one-off. I would be wary though, like you, because I knew a guy who seemed to have been unlucky in leaving a trail of 'crazy' girlfriends behind him. It was only when he suddenly disappeared from my life after a perfectly loving evening (one of many) during which there was no indication that anything was amiss, that I realised why these women were so angry. If he made a habit of this, it's no wonder some would be seeking revenge, if not on him then on the girl she thought had 'stolen' him, when actually he was just an insensitive creep.
Cypress25 Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Why can't you be friends with a guy who has a girlfriend? I don't get it.
OldSkool Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Why can't you be friends with a guy who has a girlfriend? I don't get it. In this case, it's because the girlfriend is a bunny boiler.
Cypress25 Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Oh, well, that sucks. But that's not the guy's fault. And most women really aren't like that, so I think most guys are allowed to have female friends.
phineas Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 anyone who goes after the OM/OW instead of their significant other is just in denial. If it isn't one particular OM/OW it will just be another. They need to get it through their head that they are with a despicable person. It isn't their job to keep their partner faithful, it's their partner's job. If they contact you again OP tell them this.
