Amy 2: What to do

Amy, thanks the reply. I understand how you feel about sharing this information with me, and I don't think it's weird. I've been there before, too. It is difficult.

Amy, there really is no other way for you to get rid of him other than to just stop talking to him and staying off MSN and not listening to him on the phone.

If he calls, and you pick up, big deal. Just hang up. Or unplug the phone.

There comes a point where this is something that YOU, Amy, must do and no one else can do for you.

It's perfectly natural to be attracted to this man, but it doesn't you have to put up with him anymore.

So what if he declares his love to you (I'll bet real money it wasn't and isn't real) or says nice things? So did my woman, hours every other night before she knew she would strip on cam for someone else.

One of the best things you can do is get away from your phone and computer and hang out with people in real life.

There's really not much else I can say, Amy. You obviously have to be the grown-up here and walk away. After a while, I think he'll get the message. You don't have to rude or offensive or confrontational. I've tried that before and it doesn't work as well as you might think. I think maybe part of you is worried about hurting him, but you just can't use that as an excuse to let this continue. ANYONE should know that a relationship involves risk, even him, it's just I doubt he was even for real.

I realize, Amy, that he's probably not the only person you talk to on the phone or the internet, but it's something you'll have to give up for a while if you can't resist his advances. You're just going to need to make some short-term sacrifices to get him off your back.
