He has a stalker!
I probably should not be laughing at this but it's too damn funny not to. My ex-husband has a stalker! When he first told me this, my first thought was that it was someone that he either arrested or he write a ticket. Oh no, it's a lady the had ONE date with. Please laugh with me.
I guess he tried the online dating this and met the psycho hose beast on match.com. He had one date with her and he didn't think there was going to be a second one so he just mentioned, you know, thanks but no thanks. Apparently, this was not acceptable. She knew where his beat was so she started going to the station and leaving notes on his car. She even called in a few fake police calls to get the police to come to her house because she's in his beat area and she thought he might be the one to respond.
Oh, holy crazy chick! First, lady, don't stalk a cop! What the hell is wrong with you? Bad move. So he talked to his sergeant about it and his sergeant told him to get a restaining order. So he did. Named myself and our daughter on it as he's not quite sure how crazy she is. Both of our information is protected so anything that is of "public record" had empty information. But, a simple few searches or so could link us to him.
I don't think she'd do anything stupid. She doesn't seem like the type. Why do I say this? Oh, because I think she has a slight sense of humor. It seems my ex-husband has had to delete his gmail account because she went online and signed him up for as many wesbite newsletters and websites that she could find. And some of them are just horribly wrong. Let's say they involve goats. Now, I have routinely threatened people that I would sign them up for the Ricky Martin Fan Club but I've never done it. She is a woman of action.
This also confirms something of which I was already pretty certain. I am not doing the online thing ever again. Not even after the year of no. There is just way to much crazy out there. As a matter of fact, I think the crazy is every where. I may not date until next decade. I am truly contemplating never dating again. Crazy, I tell you. Crazy.

FIrst off, i hope this doesn't cause any trouble for you and your little one.
But that said? TOO FUNNY.
i go back and forth on the online dating thing, and even tho i've never had any crazies myself, the potential for crazy just swings the balance to NEVER AGAIN.

Just a thought: Perhaps you could fix her up with "Troy in North Dakota".
Get a couple of drinks into your sister, supply the appropriate phone numbers, sit back and enjoy the show!!

I think all of us women have a streak of crazy in us and it just depends how far down the line it is.
Obviously not very far in her case.
Re the internet dating thing, my exhusband met his current girl off a dating site and is very happy. I joined a site but I never really felt comfortable with it. I also made every guy who approached me do it via email and chat only for the first three months, in order to weed out the crazy and never gave them my phone number or address. However, I did meet my fiance on the internet, via a message board we both frequent, and I am revoltingly happy in love.

If my husband and I ever separated, I would SOOOOOO become someone stalker. I can't imagine doing anything else. :)

Yeah this is one of those things that I would laugh at, then feel a little guilty, and then laugh again. So long as she's not dangerous, this *is* pretty funny :)

Well, at least ONE of y'all is finally ready to admit the obvious. Hats off to KittyRex.
Hey V, glad to hear things are going so splendidly. Be good.

I had a one night stand that lasted exactly one month. Then he was gone and so were my credit cards!
