OT: Threats from ex-boyfriends

Very good point Fed, but I wouldn't go blowing off a potential threat, complacency's a good way to get your skull cracked. I ain't saying Eik should turn rabid vigilante or anything like that. Just keep his eyes and ears open and pay attention. Best way to deal with trouble is to spot it coming and avoid it.

Thank you very much everybody for all your good advices. I appreciate this very much. And all your advices made me think too.

So many people to adress back so I will just speak out into the air to you all.

The Law

You have made me think differently about the law. I will see what can be done by the law. A restraining order I guess, if it is possible to get that for someone who is not in the country and has never been here. Good idea to make it clear for the police that I am not the aggressor in case I should end up destroying this guy a bit.

I already have a good record with the police by the way, maybe that would help me. I interfered with and stopped some stranger from beating up another stranger on the street once. The police have me in their records for that.
And thinking about a friend of a friend of mine who got assaulted and ended up breaking the knee of the attacker, without getting anything for it because the deputy figured he was a nice guy, then I look a bit light at the situation on my behalf.

Did you hear that fellow Norwegian? The men of the law are not so rigid here I think.

Yes, some pictures will be distributed to neighbours and others.

Self Defence and Martial Arts

Yes, to those of you who mentioned it I have a little bit background. But it is just 5. kuy in Traditional Shotokan Karate. I am not exactly a deadly weapon because of that.

Yes, surely distance fighting will be the way with this neanderthal guy. I have wrestled with short muscular guys before, not very successful. I will use my legs for some kicking as they have proven their value for me before.

I am 1,78 meters and 77 kilos by the way.

To my advantage he doesn't know what I look like so he can't jump on me in a bar or something. He couldn't have anyway as I don't go out and drink. Don't drink at all.

I won't be carrying or using a knife. Don't worry about it. I gave it some thought. Besides, I fight better without it.

But really, I don't know if I will be able to just sit idle and wait for him if I find out he is in town.

The girl and stuff

Yeah... girls take advantage of some volounteer fools to use as shields some times, I know. But I don't feel that this is what is happening. She told me she didn't want me to get any trouble for it, but she is my friend, and so I want to help.
And Frederico, we are just friends, nothing more.

I think the reason why she broke with him now and not earlier is that she is one of those women who have a submissive part in her psychology. You know, some women live in abuse relationships for years without understanding their own good.
But now, away from him, she is becoming a self sufficient person again, she tells me.
I don't think she timed this with my presence, but rather with the distance to him.

Not2sharp, she doesn't like aggression. She shows a strong dislike for it when I hint that he deserves something. So I don't think she is looking to provoke some fighting.

Ankerson, she didn't hang up on him because she has a temper and fought back. Latinas...

Interesting information. It helps me understand this a bit more.

Other interesting things you tell about your culture also.

Brain? The male brain is situated where?

Don't worry, the one in my head connects some times...

No Bubbas in the jails here, only immigrants of various origins. But that is troublesome enough.

What's this T-shirt all you guys are talking about?

Takk skal du ha. Det går sikkert bra.

Jeg har en mistanke om at han kommer for han virker ikke god. Han har drevet av med litt av hvert visstnok. Han virker som typen til dette.
 
Eik are you saying she waited to break up till recently? I thought they broke up before she left? So is this a fresh break up? There is just something about this story that doesnt seem right to me.

As for co-dependents (you know the types that stay in abusive relationships) its never just a simple question of submissive personalities. Usually there are a whole lot of issues that go back to thier childhood (such as abusive parents, alcohilic parents, etc...), that often wont go away without some hardcore therapy.

Anyways, if the guy pops up all of a sudden, despite all the legal action, give him a good swift kick in the nuts followed by a good thumb to the eye from Fred. Though, I still think the best thing you can do for your friend is prevent her from dealing with this guy. Over is over, she dont have to explain herself, things will just get worse if she continues to communicate with him. Cutting off contact will probably do more to help her than all the nut kicking in the world. Though the more I hear about it, the more it seems like its just a typical teenage break-up. Seems scary when youre real close to it, but a couple years down the road, things cool off.

Yes, she came here a bit over a month ago and broke up with him after about a week here.

What doesn't seem right to you? What does your intuition tell you?

Teenage break-ups with physical threats involved? You must come from a tough neighbourhood!

I think I will do more than that.

Sure, no more contact. I think that is obvious for her as well.
 
Gees, this reminds me of when I was growing up and chased out two guys (on drugs) out of this girl's house with a double bladed axe! One of those guys was not into taking hints. anyways-

BDDT; and tons of good advice on this post.

90% of the time the girl can handle this herself if she really wants to. Use the local authorities and any authority you can. It makes things much easier to stop aggression before it happens, and also makes it easier to explain violence if it has to resort to that.

We all like khukuries and knives, but bringing a knife into a fist fight is not a good idea. The local law enforcement will not like you, at all.

I doubt this situation will go anywhere, and it sounds like there are plenty of chances to deal with it before anything does potentially happen.

If it comes down to it. Never fear anyone, particularly when you are being honorable, and (forgive me friends) but in a fight, aggressiveness tends to win unless you are dealing with masters and then it's sometimes still the case. But don't do anything stupid and overreact/overrespond. It sounds like you are young, and you don't want to start your adult career with a criminal record.

good luck,

David
