Woman's Friend Gets Stalked By An Ex, Husband Tries To Dismiss Her Feelings But Gets A Deserving Response

Stalking someone is just outrageous. It doesn't matter whether the stalker aims to terrify, intimidate, or threaten someone as long as they are aware that their actions could make a reasonable person feel that way.

Stalking is a course of conduct, which means it entails ongoing, repetitive behavior. When unwanted activities are seen repeatedly, and over time, stalking becomes visible and disturbing, even though individual unwanted behaviors may not seem particularly concerning when taken as single instances.

People respond to stalking in a variety of ways, ranging from downplaying it to being extremely anxious and fearful. Being stalked may be quite damaging to a person.

It can make someone feel as though they have no control over their lives, no sense of independence, and no right to privacy. High levels of anxiety, anguish, or terror are frequently experienced, along with hypervigilance or worries that it will never end or that nobody will ever take it seriously.

It may cause problems with your health, your ability to concentrate, time lost at work and your finances. The OP has a friend who is being stalked by an ex.

The OP has been stalked before and was one of the very few who got an actual conviction from the actual charge, so she knows how her friend feels. The OP's husband was trying to dismiss her friend's feelings, and the OP told him that he had no room to talk unless he had been stalked himself.
