    Default Old Boyfriend trying to ruin my new relationship

    Become a member to remove this ad.
    Hello everyone, m a gal. 20 yrs. I m worried n depressed. There is something eating me up. Read my thread n tell me how can I help myself.

    I was engaged 2 a guy 2 yrs ago. He works overseas. v had a long distance relationship. I was much in love with him. v shared our sexual feelings n v were eager 2 get married. v used 2 hav video calls..almost naked videos. n v also shared our private pics.

    Later, d relationship faced hurdles.
    To my surprise..He started putting pressures over me 4 everything... starting from dat I shud not go out without his permission.. I shud visit his mom (here in my city) every now n then.. I shud not say a word abt his mom. Everything He wanted 2 go as his stupid mind wanted.

    His mom is a crazy lady. she is argumentative n loud at times. N d guy wud favor her everytime. He has no self decision making ability. He is stupid. He is sick. He was trying 2 rule me sitting there in d overseas.

    My family realized dat d guy was not rite 4 me. There were family conflicts n I decided 2 end up d relationship. But d question was....wat abt my pics dat he still has wid him? I took a bold step.. rather than dying wid him day n nite... I wud choose getting rid of him..b wat d consequences. After 18 months of love n war relationship..I broke up wid him.

    He was aggressive n frustrated. He mailed me my naked pics n warned me dat if I went away..he will print those pics n will post them 2 my family n relatives. I didnt reply 2 his mail...

    I was alone n depressed 4 a month or 2 after this break up. Every now n then d thought of facing every1..wen they will knw abt d wrongings I did...wud block my thinking ability. (n this is still worrying me...)

    Then I got engaged 2 another guy. He is really gud, matured n responsible man. This is d man I feel I m compatible wid.

    D first guy called at my (wud b) in-laws home n said them abt those pics. (as it was expected). But my in-law family thought its all out of his frustration. His call was ignored.

    Now...my fiance knws abt pics but not dat they r naked.
    m getting married this july. 3 months 2 go. n m jus worried wat 2 do abt this mess in my life. I m ashamed 2 tell my fiance abt my previous relationship. I live in a conservative n narrow minded society. I cant say if asked.. dat yes I HAV MADE A MISTAKE.

    I have chosen 2 stay quiet. But it wont work.
    wat if d first guy goes 4 few more attempts as b4?
    n will I hav 2 live wid d fact sum1 can destroy my social status overnight?

    There is no friend I can share my story wid. I jus cant say it 2 any1 dat I clicked such pics. I regret it but m unable 2 4give myself.

    How 2 solve this? How shud I come out of this depression?
    Please help!

    Thanking U!

    Hi
    I dont know what country you are in. Do you have Emails of his threats.
    Advise him that any material of yours that he poses was for his viewing only and that you do not want it distributed in any way.
    Then advise him that you will to go to the authorities for any breach of this and that his rights to International travel could be threatened if he carries on with his attempts to blackmail you. Keep an Email trail.
    Good luck

    Exactly, if he's blackmailing you, then you can to go the authorities and get him into serious trouble. Read up on blackmail laws in your country and explain it to him next time he threatens.

    As for the pictures themselves, don't feel guilty. Many people send pictures like that when they're in relationships. How were you to know that he'd end up being a jerk once you broke up.

    Not knowing where you are makes it hard to answer fully. But I think you need to tell your fiancee the full story. Better to deal with it now than after you are married.

    This is the problem with putting things on line or sharing them on line - they never really go away. You were young and in love and didn't know better but that doesn't change what is.

    Yeah! M sure, only d authorities can help me against him. He has not moved any further. May b He is aware of d laws n dat he can ruin himself if he tries to trouble me.

    M from India. Here, we live in a community. More than others in my community, m worried 'bout my mom n dad. But, if u people can understand me then m sure, my parents too will...May b a l'il late.

    I can't say it to my parents n my fiance rite now. Thngs r going peacefully. But I will, very soon. D next time he threatens me, I won't stay quiet. Won't spare him.

    I was wid a really heavy heart. M feeling better, after sharing it here. Now I knw wat I can do in defense.

    Thanx 4 replying friends!

    He said what ever was the case it's okay with him, he's happy in his present....Past is past and he sees that.

    He is wise, intelligent and understanding he doesn't want to know and if found out, you can explain to him exactly that this previous man was controlling made you feel safe, but abused you.

    Don't fuel the ex, continue to ignore him and don't fear of your present as your current man loves you..

    Don't tell him anything else, you already told him, in not so many words if it comes to light he will be okay...

    I m not going 2 initiate. If d first guy threatens me again or tries to create any obstacle in my life. I'll speak 2 my fiance. Hopefully, He'll understand me.

    I was unable 2 overcome d fear I faced dat night wen I received his mail. I was both threatened n guilty. However d intensity of dat fear is declining now.

    Probably there is no solution. I can't get my pics back. I can finally go to d authorities if he does any thing undesirable.

    I think I should concentrate on my present. N I shud b prepared to speak up against him before d authorities at d rite time.
