Worst Ex: Extortion and Stalking - A Real-Life Horror Story

The stories of exes who have hurt us can be heartbreaking, but there are some horror stories that stand out. One of my exes was not only manipulative and a stalker but also tried to extort me. This case is a testament to how individuals can hurt others in unimaginable ways.

Introduction to My Experiences with Exes

Throughout my relationships, I've experienced a range of behaviors from my exes. From occasional cheats to outright abusers, they've all left emotional scars. However, the experience that stands out as the worst is the ex who went on to extort me and stalk me after our relationship ended.

The Terrible Relationship

First, let’s set the stage. This was my first serious relationship, and while we shared a romantic and on-again-off-again relationship for a while, it ultimately wasn’t meant to be. Despite seeing red flags earlier in the relationship, I didn’t fully grasp her emotional and psychological manipulation.

After we broke up, she started to make increasingly erratic requests. One memorable incident involved her demanding things I had given her back, including her car. This was not a typical aftermath of a breakup; this was a clear sign of someone who couldn’t let go, and it disturbed me deeply.

The Stalking and Extortion

She didn't stop with the demanding behavior. The next phase was even more outrageous. She began stalking me. She’d drive past my house every day and question any cars in the driveway, consistently acting like a wannabe private investigator.

I caught her a couple of times, but that was just the tip of the iceberg. She denied everything and fabricated stories about friends dropping by, making a mockery of the truth. Her deceive and manipulation were relentless.

The Financial Extortion

In a particularly egregious act, she claimed to have a threatened miscarriage and demanded 1500 dollars from me. This was irrational since we had been together for months, and she had never even been pregnant. She avoided giving the doctor's information and instead threatened a lawyer if I didn’t pay up.

I was left in a difficult position, feeling compassion for someone who had shown no compassion for me. I insisted on proof and a doctor's confirmation. When she resorted to threats of legal action, I chose to speak to a lawyer to protect myself. She backed down but continued to harass me with phone calls until I reminded her of the doctor's role.

The Aftermath and Lessons Learned

Months later, I learned from a mutual friend that she had tried to extort multiple people, and my reaction was a deterrent for her. Her attempt was a clear sign of her manipulative nature, and she ultimately learned to respect the law and the consequences of her actions.

Conclusion and Reflecting on the Experiences

While I don’t “hate” any ex, it’s clear that some are worse than others. In my case, the ex who tried to extort me and stalk me stands out. However, even through these experiences, I’ve grown and become more aware of the red flags to watch out for in future relationships. From her actions, I learned to be more vigilant and to trust my instincts.

Experiences like this shape us and make us stronger. They provide lessons that help us avoid similar situations in the future. So, while it’s hard to put a label on the “worst” ex, in my case, it would be her actions that left the most indelible mark.
