I don't care how nice he is sometimes, or that he already purchased a ring for you, or whatever.

It's very, very easy to say this if you haven't been in an abusive, or even borderline-abusive, relationship. I think some of the women who have opened up about their experiences in this thread would say the same thing. These men are master manipulators, and do far greater damage to your self-esteem before they make the first physical blow.

CopterDad, a LOT of us on GC are friends on Facebook, Twitter, and LJ in addition to the fact that a lot of people are from the same schools and regions. The Greek world has always been a small world, and sites like this make it that much smaller. The poster's decision to remain anonymous is an extremely smart one.

That you felt the need to create a sock puppet to hide your regular screen name, not so much.

Now, take the advice and fix yourself. Like I and others have said, get legal advice on this one.

I think this is the PERFECT situation to use a sock puppet. I would think that an ex would know the user's real screen name and could search for posts by that person. This is one situation where a hidden identity is important.

Extremely well said.
