How to dump a psycho

Jun 13, 2011 | Sowetan | 49 comments

Important need-to-know info

 You don't have to run like you were the guilty party, but if you start a new life in a place that's hard for the psycho to find, you'll have time and energy to concentrate on your own life instead of figuring out how to dump the psycho. 

  • EXTRICATE yourself from the psycho's life.

Don't call or e-mail and avoid his calls. Always check caller ID on your phone. Save all thee-mails and SMSes, but don't answer them. In a worst-case scenario, you'll have all the evidence you need for a court case. Most psychos or emotionally disturbed individuals will disappear if you refuse contact with them.

  • Be cordial to the irrational party if you do encounter them and can't get out of it.

If you yell at them or admonish them, it will only make you seem like the psycho. Even if you're boiling inside, remain cool. Don't do or say anything that will give them ammunition against you.

  • Act crazy.

If you pretend that you're crazier than him, this may scare him away. It's like that old adage - fight fire with fire. If he sees that you're a little psycho yourself, he won't want to deal with you and will probably want to dump you instead.

  • Do a background check if the psychotic behaviour does not stop.

This will give you specifics that might cause the psycho to leave if he finds out you know about his past. If you know he lied to get his job or has skipped out on paying alimony, you will have a bargaining tool to use against him. But only use this information as a last resort.

  • Move out of town. If all else fails, move to another city or a nearby suburb.

You don't have to run like you were the guilty party, but if you start a new life in a place that's hard for the psycho to find, you'll have time and energy to concentrate on your own life instead of figuring out how to dump the psycho.

I had to deal with a psycho recently.........but he was never anything to me. just a guy i used to go to school with, and apparently always had a thing for me. he was telling me how i should dump my man for him(HA HA HA),.......becasue I'M HIS...!!!!!!!
he stays in the same location, and don't know exactly how he got my numbers. he would call me after mid-night, send me messages, leave a number of missed calls. i would swear at him,reply angrily to his messages, telling him to leave me alone, and that i will never love him and have never even liked him. that did not help. so i started avoiding his calls, any private numbers especially at night, and stopped replying to his messages. it's been more than a week, that i've not heard from him and i think my being quite on him is working. what's wrong with some people out there??????????????

I'll admit and say that I'm a jealous type of guy, but throwing my life away for a woman is definitely not a wise thing to do. I don't know why someone, with a nice job and a bright future, will throw their life away by stalking a woman or threaten her, risking going to jail. Some men kill their girlfriends or someone in a moment of passion because of a lack f emotional intelligence, that's understandable but unacceptable. But what's not understandable is why someone will spend hours and days and months planning to kill their girlfriends if she cheats on him or something.
