Seriously the stories I've read about dudes threatening to drive to womens house and murder them or something over rejections is insane.

Have any of the ladies here had to deal with a psychopath like that?

Yes.

It also runs a whole spectrum. There are people who react immediately and in a blatantly threatening way and there are people who, when dumped, scale a 4-story apartment building and go to your (thankfully locked) balcony to try to win you back. That is still a scary thing but is a different form of the reaction, where it's obsessive panic and not threats of violence. This is the same thing that leads to stalking.

Shit is scary, yo.
