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?

CW For the expected stuff, given the subject matter.

spoilerA boy I rejected in middle school promptly attempted to choke me to death in front of everyone. In high school, a guy threatened to off himself if I didn't date him. A close male friend once body-blocked me into his bedroom and wouldn't let me leave until I started crying, when I didn't give him the answers he wanted.

So yeah. People do worry, it does happen, and it's quite common. At least one in five women is a victim.

Jesus christ both of those are terrifying.
