I am not trying to scare you in any way but take these approaches and advances very seriously.<\/p>\n<p>Many situations that have become deadly in love affairs started off with simple stalking incidents like these. It is clear that this ex is not interested in leaving you alone.<\/p>\n<p>Speak to the police. Have them talk to him. Get a restraining order if you have too. Be prepared to defend yourself at all times in case your report gets him more aggressive than he already is.<\/p>\n<p>You know I cannot give advice without asking to have some sort of intervention by God because of course there is nothing impossible for him to do. Pray and ask God to allow this man to leave you alone. After all is there anything too hard for the Lord to do?<\/p>\n<p>Best<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bella<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Have a problem?
