Alfred proposed to me and I said no. He asked why and I told him I wasn’t ready for a relationship. He left and came back a week later with the same proposal. I said, “I told you I’m not ready and I mean it.” Before he turned and went away, he said, “I will be around. Let me know whenever you are ready.”

It sounded weird the way he was handling everything. He won’t talk to me or try to chat with me sometime. He would just appear and propose and later leave. A month later, he came back. When I said no he got angry.

He started screaming; “What do you mean when you say no? Do you think Alex is better than me? Or you think Joel is a better human being than I am? Didn’t you date Kofi last year? What did you see in him that I don’t have? No wonder they come and eat and leave you. Your spirit doesn’t like good things.”

I was stunned. So stunned I didn’t know what to say or do. I told him, “So what do you want from me if you know all these men have been with me? No, I don’t want good guys. Leave me alone.

I tried all I could to avoid him for months. He lives close by but I tried my best not to use routes that would lead me to him. Several months later, I met this new guy who wanted me but was taking it slowly. I showed him my house and he passed by one evening. When I saw him off and was coming back home, I met Alfred. I pretended I hadn’t seen him but he stood in my way and asked, “So you mean this guy you just saw off is better than I am? Why are you disrespecting me like that? You think he’s a better man? What does he have?

I looked at him sternly and told him, “If you don’t leave me alone, I will scream thief and leave you in the hands of the mob. What kind of silly antics is that? How old are you? If you think you’re a good guy, then go and ring the catholic bell so you can go to heaven. What’s that?”

He realized I was ready to fight this time around so he quietly left my way and said, “You’ll never find a man like me. They’ll all eat and leave, mark it on the wall” I responded, “You’re jealous that madmen are having what you can’t have. You’ll never have me, you too mark it on the wall.”

Call Your Ex And Ask Why It Didn’t Work Out Between You Two

He has left me alone but I can’t stop thinking about how he tormented my life, a life he wanted to be part of. Is that normal? For a guy to want to be with you so much that he would curse you without realizing it? Or he has mental issues?
