Well, seems I'm stuck in a saga now. Once again, I have full permission from my friend to share this. Link to the OG post: https://www.reddit.com/r/EntitledPeople/comments/17a4olt/entitled_ex_ghosted_my_friend_then_demands_a_room/

As my first post said, my friend's ex ghosted her and then decided to try to move in with her, and by extension me, after years of no contact. My friend told him where he can go.

For a bit, it was actually pretty calm. She did cut contact and block him as many suggested, and between the two of us, my bestie and I did some culling in our friend group of people we knew were passing information to her ex. We've settled in the new house together and she actually gets along better with my parents sometimes than I do. Guess she's the golden child now.

Sadly eventually we had to adult and get much needed food. We went to walmart in town together and by some bad luck we crossed paths with her ex. I wish all of it was just awkward glances and each on their way. But no, at first he tried to talk to her. My friend said she didn't want to speak to him and didn't want him near her. I mostly reminded him I wanted to rip his spine and beat him to death with it. Sadly that didn't deter him from following us around like the most obnoxious toilet paper stuck to shoe.

We did our shopping and headed to the car with him still after us. I told my friend for her to get into the car and start the gear, and lock it while I loaded the groceries. Her Ex then decided to appeal to me to talk to my friend about taking him back. I don't know what power held me back from committing a felony, but pretty sure I've earn a PhD in self-control. I told him, in no uncertain terms, were he could put his reconciliation and that if he kept following us, I will make sure his legs were out of the equation.

I got in the car and my friend began to driving back when we notice a car following us. And we knew it was following because the direction we were going was not usual. To rule out a possible neighbor, we actually did a full U turn almost back to the store, stop to get some fast food, ate in the parking lot, then headed again back home. And the same car was after us.

Now, as much as I talk of violence, I have to admit I was terrified. So was my friend. Neither of us has a gun permit, best we carry is a can of pepper spray. And we know her ex does have guns. So yeah, we were not comfortable at that point. Instead we headed past our neighborhood. And following the usual advice from TV, drove to a police station. Once in it, we did write a statement and I got scolded about the confrontation in walmart's parking lot.

The reason we know its her ex was because when we got home, she got a call from him in a new phone number saying 'I know where you live now'. We immediately called the police. So there's were we stand. Cops just left a few minutes ago, and my brother is going to be staying over for a few weeks until we get the RO and some sturdier locks.

Also, I want to clarify a few things: A lot of people asked why originally my friend took a whole year of being ghosted to accept the relationship was over. While I get it, trust me, please understand that when my friend came to the US, she had no one. She's cut contact with her toxic family. She literally only had her ex. I moved into the US a year later, and also came alone at first. But my parents were able to become citizens and I had them. When her relationship died out, she lost not just her boyfriend, but his family who pretty much were as close to her own family as she could get. It's not easy, and I personally can't imagine how lonely she felt. I could spend Christmas with my parents. She had no one for that first year. So please, don't judge her on it, cause she doesn't deserve it. It's not easy to be an immigrant when you have no place to return to.

I wanted to do an update, but I haven't had the time: Thank you all for your well wishes and advice. We're certainly taking measures for security. We're working with the police, who have been absolutely great the whole process and are helping bestie to get that RO.

For now we have my brother using our couch. He's ex-military and has a gun permit, so we feel comfortable with him home.

We still have no idea what's going on with my friend's ex and to be sincere aside from focusing on our safety, I don't have time to play scooby doo. I did send a message to his sister warning her that we will press charges if he keeps creeping on us.

We also did find an airtag hidden under in the car's bumper. It was immediately removed and turn in to the police.

Other than that, we're doing fairly good. Enjoying the space and the yard. And to our new French Aunt, we absolutely love to have you as family <3
