You were an overly attached girlfriend type even though you never dated….isnt that just being a stalker?

u/Southtune-stringbox 3d ago

Actual stalker vibes. “To my shock and horror, we live down the street.” She found his address too easily after looking him up on socials.

u/TrekChick267 3d ago

You would be absolutely flummoxed to learn what information about your entire life is publicly available. Give someone a computer and 25 minutes with just your legal name and maybe your picture they can tell you where you grew up, where you work, where your kids go to school, what sports team you root for, etc. etc. etc.

u/NotPromKing 3d ago

But, how much of it is accurate? I’ve looked myself up and maybe half of the claimed information is just flat out wrong. The other half is right, but if you don’t know the person well, you won’t know which half.

u/dinop4242 3d ago

Yeah, I can never find myself on a Google search of my name even tho I have my full name on at least one social media. I have a very uncommon last name and the Google results are always people who died in the 1800s or like some South American soccer player lol. I'm pretty glad for it tbh

You'd be surprised. I did some work for someone and had to hire a private investigator to do some background searches on a guy. I found more on this guy than the private investigator did.

She didn’t drive by his house after finding out where he lives, she realized that she drives by his house regularly because be lives so close.

u/ZombiesAtKendall 3d ago

And now, completely by coincidence, she’s going to start driving that way more often, walking the dog that way more often, at first she will just quickly glance over and keep walking, but soon she will stop to “tie her shoe” right in front of their house, check her phone, find any excuse to stop for a “chance encounter”. Next she will find out where he works, map out his schedule, manufacture a few more “run ins”. Too little time to type though, I’ve gotta go on a walk before uh so I have time to go do a thing because now is when I walk.

u/burnusti 3d ago

I was sitting on a pub patio with friends the other day, had a view of the street and a green space on the other side of the street. This young woman, dressed to impress, hot af walking a Westie goes across the street. And a few minutes later she comes back across the street. She went back and forth about eight times, stalling, checking her phone… her poor dog was like “let’s go let’s go” and she was just… lingering. Then I see her whole posture shift like she got struck by lightning, she smooths her clothes and hair, and starts walking casually but sexily in the direction of someone leaving the pub. Pulls out her phone, pretends not to see him. He walks by, they don’t say hi or anything, he doesn’t seem to notice/know her. But she goes off in the same direction he does, and doesn’t come back. I drew my own conclusions from the information at hand; she was some kind of secret agent. Or she took Baby Reindeer as gospel. But I’d rather like to think that there’s a secret agent hangin’ round my local.

u/Beginning_Key2167 3d ago

That literally happened to me. It was in the fall and I opened up the dishwasher to grab a clean glass to get some water. I had intended to empty the dishwasher as well wanted to get a glass of water first.

My now ex-wife erupted at me verbally. I was literally walking back towards the dishwasher and she completely freaked out called me a MFer.

That following March, I was driving cross country for my new job.

She started finding major fault with every minor thing. The last straw for me was a sandwich I bought for lunch. I know now that she had found somebody else and was trying to force me into filing for divorce. So she could say it was me that asked for the divorce.

18

u/phage_rage 3d ago

My ex did the same thing. Which was not ideal because im stubborn (aka stupid) and was not gonna get divorced unless he hit me or he was cheating. So he basically just got to treat me like an animal he hates for 4 years and f teenagers on the side while i tried desperately to fix our marriage until i figured out he was f-ing teenagers.

u/Agreeable-Echidna650 3d ago

This is how you know a relationship is over. When one person finds fault and literally everything the other person does, it's over. The last girl I dated got like this towards the end of our relationship. Everything, and I mean everything, that I did was somehow "wrong". Maybe a month or so before we broke up we had a few drinks at our house on a Friday night. It was a beautiful Saturday morning and I thought to myself "how about I go by us some lunch from our favorite barbecue place?"

My girlfriend was asleep in bed, nursing a minor hangover. I told her that I would go get us lunch. When I got to the barbecue place, we weren't accustomed to see me without my girlfriend, asked me where my girlfriend was. I told the worker "we had a long night last night, partied a bit, she's at home in bed."

When I got back home, my girlfriend asked me if the workers had asked about her. I told her that they had and that I had told them we had partied last night and that she was at home in bed sleeping. She absolutely erupted at me. Said that I was embarrassing her and making her seem like a drunk. Keep in mind that I had just willingly gotten both of us a perfect hangover meal and paid for the whole thing just to be nice. I haven't told the workers at the barbecue place that my girlfriend was hung over or that she's a party animal or anything like that. It had been an innocent conversation. Things have been rocky between me and my girlfriend before this happened, and I think at this time both of us kind of knew that the relationship was basically over, but I was so mad about it. I had tried to do something nice and she found fault in it over a silly thing.

There were many other instances of her fighting fault in something that I did that were stupid and trivial. But this is the one that I still remember six years later, doing something nice for her, pay $30 out of my own money, and then her being ungrateful and blowing up on me For "tarnishing her image". We didn't know the people at the barbecue place other than when we were in there to order. The people at the barbecue place we weren't judging her. But at the time just looking for something to be mad about.

Best of luck to you. And anyone else who reads this, know that the biggest morning side that a relationship is over is when partner constantly is looking to find something "wrong" with EVERYTHING that the other person is doing.

Yeah this is probably one of the few believable TIFU posts I’ve seen. Not just because it’s not super outlandish, but because similar things have happened to me. I met someone on hinge once and it ended up just leading to three platonic-like hangouts, but after I moved to a new place I realized I had moved right down the street from where that person worked at the time. Didn’t even consider it before hand. If it had been an actual ex in OPs situation then that would be totally different.

My old job used to involve looking up property information on my county auditor’s website. It’s shockingly easy to find out who owns any property, and most local websites have robust search tools that lets you search by name, address, street name, even previous owners

Still, it involves effort to find that information, more effort than “gee, I wonder where so and so lives”, so OP might just be down bad and letting their mind wander. It’s innocent now, but they did the homework at least.

I did this for my high school crush only to find a bunch of pictures of her and Donald Trump and news articles about how she got caught embezzling money from her job.

I can still fix her.

Yeah, I looked up a gal I had a crush on and wanted to date, and found her social-media account where it's MAGA everything and 50% of her posts are about "owning the libs" and "we need to stop woke nonsense" and "I went to Trump's rally and it was SO AMAZEING! (sic)" and so on.

Made me retroactively glad I was too shy to ask her out.

Do you still have a crush on him? Crushes don’t tend to last that long. So at best you have a crush on a memory not the real person. You’re all good. 👍

u/Dimpleshenk 3d ago

Right, she has no crush, just looked him up obsessively and then posted about it like it's worrisome and has turbocharged her midlife crisis. But not a crush-crush so OK.

Yep this is bad - forget this has happened but my guess you do some physical stalking and it’s going to mess up your marriage.

In high school (more than 20 years ago) I definitely had my cringe moments. It was the heyday of yahoo games. I used to play yahoo pool all the time. There was a way back then to search for competitors by location and I used to find people near me to play and chat with. One time I started chatting up this girl who was close in age and about 40 miles from my home town. She had a public picture and I thought she was cute. So after a few games I asked her if she wanted to hook up. Not hang out or even trade pics, I jumped straight to hooking up (back then it didn’t necessarily mean sex to a teenager but still def a creeper moment). She blocked me immediately. Rightfully so.

More than 10 years later I’m having a beer watching tv with the wife, when something reminds her of this time some creeper in yahoo pool asked her to hook up. Cue flashback in my brain to my high school self doing just that. I am that guy. I hadn’t thought about the incident since then but I know she is from the town of the girl I pulled a creeper move on. I had a strong association to that tiny town and remember my side of things really well.

I have never admitted to it. But often think of it when I need to mentally punish myself for being a douche. Oh how the wheel turns.

For all you know, he’s noticed you… and his wife has noticed your husband… and they are in an open relationship… A pineapple goes a long way if you know what I mean… im being 100% facetious.

On a serious note: I got back together with my high school sweetheart after about 20 years; it lasted for about 5 years. It was an utter disaster and ended with me taking out a 1 year protective order that I had to increase for another two years. It was horrible. I’m not over the trauma and it’s been more than 18 months. Chances are this won’t be your experience. My point being… live your life as it is now.

Let it go. Live your best life. Don’t let this person live rent free in your head. And in the grand scheme of life: this isn’t really a fuck up (I am not trying to down play your embarrassment. Laugh it off, cause it’s one of those “oops and oh shit” moments we all have).

Edited: words.
Edited: more words.

"I was the overly attached girlfriend type but cringe at the memory, love my husband and wouldn't do anything now"

Proceeds to do overly attached girlfriend things and then tells strangers on the internet about it, leaving them in no doubt she'll definitely do something now.

I looked up my old college girlfriend years ago.

One post had a picture of her beautiful kitchen in a magazine (like good housekeeping or something).

A month or two later there was a post about raising money for her because her house had burned down.

It was really nice to see how her life was going.

Boredom and buzzed…. Looking up 20 year old flames…. Saying out loud how much you love your husband in order to convince yourself. This is how affairs begin. Tread carefully before it upends your entire life.

— I was once the husband in this picture. Im not married anymore.

Why would you be pissed to find out your husband lives nearby a high school crush? Why assume he'd be pissed at yiu? Sounds like this relationship wasn't built on trust or tbh built to last if you can't talk about seeds of doubt.

This is only going to be a thing if you make it one. The crush was twenty years ago when you were both kids, it’s meaningless now. For your husbands sake, please don’t make this a thing.

Feel bad for your hubby, 20 years have passed and you're worried about some guy who you've never even dated. I'm not trying to mean but that is kinda creepy. I can understand looking up old high-school buddies but when you start searching for adresses....that's stalker territory.

You’re fucking up by not telling your husband. You are sowing the seeds of deception that will lead to cheating if you don’t communicate and stay honest. You don’t only share the things that make each other happy. You need to share important, sometimes hurtful information. And then stop doing the hurtful things

u/Professional_Self145 3d ago

Imagine how horrified he must be 20 years later when he’s moved an hour away from his home town to get away from the girl that stalked him in highschool, and now he sees her “walking her dog” by his house every day.

u/nessager 3d ago

My old crush added me on Facebook, I honestly don't care anymore. It's weird feeling this way about someone I used to have such strong feeling for. If I saw her in the street I would say hi, then go about my day.

Sounds like OP is one bad argument away from a “AITA for sleeping with my 20 year crush after an argument with my husband” post followed by a laundry list of weak excuses as to why she’s the victim for cheating.

u/Strange_Idea_8272 3d ago

I really hope this is some sort of creative writing assignment or something because if not then your husband is in extreme danger. Lol. The only reason you're in panic mode over this is because now that you know how easily you could meet back up with the guy, you're 100% considering doing it. You wanted to before you knew where he lived, or else why would you dig that deep? Now that you know there is no physical barrier (such as distance) in your head there is nothing holding you back from making a huge mistake. Your midlife crisis is in full swing and is about to ruin your marriage. I wish your husband luck in his new life after you ruin this one. :)
