I was having a lot of problems with a married man living next door, he was stalking me and wouldn’t leave me alone, I told him several times politely to leave me alone, he refused and his behaviour got worse because I “ rejected” him. I called the police, and they did come out and tell him to leave me alone, but it didn’t really help and he just got sneakier about it.
I called the landlord and it was the same thing, he acted innocent and then just became more sneaky- in example I hike every morning before work at 6 am, he started trying to follow me in his car, but I can’t prove it because he’s allowed on the road anytime he wants to be- though the police did say they believed me and they were sorry that there’s not a ton they could do until he did something; but they did warn him to leave me alone and they were aggressive with him about it.
I only moved here less than 6 months ago and it’s been a nightmare. He is unemployed and his wife is a nurse, she works 12 hour shifts and then comes home and sleeps. He acts like I don’t exist when his wife is home, then when he drops her off at work he starts again. This man rarely ever leaves the property- he stays home all day everyday. I can’t even walk out my door to take garbage out without this creep coming out seconds later EVERYTIME, he’s home 24 hours a day, he must literally be watching my every move.
Anyway, I never see his wife, I’ve only seen her about 4 times in the months I’ve lived here. Finally I had enough and walked over to their house and knocked on the door and told her everything while he was standing right there, I had to because he never leaves the property and I never see her. He started screaming at the top of his lungs and being extremely abusive, and she was very rude as well; BUT it has stopped- he no longer follows me and he stopped coming outside the minute I do, he’s not watching me out the window or trying to see in mine anymore.
I think he thought he was going to have an affair with me while his wife was gone at work and then he got extremely angry when that didn’t happen. To be clear I never have given this man any reason to think that, I have avoided him since I moved in because he gave me the creeps.
Anyway, my point is - just tell their wives if you’re having trouble with married men, he was more scared of his wife than the police.
