Hi,
I was wondering if I had enough evidence to get a restraining order against an ex.
I dated this guy for a few months and I broke up with him via text message. He sent me a few really long and dramatic messages back begging me to meet in person to talk about it. Finally I did and told him I didnt want to date him to his face. Then he sends me some messages a few weeks later saying what a terrible and selfish person I was, but we still agreed to be friends. A few more weeks go by and I decide I don't want him in my life since he might be stalking me so I defriend him off facebook. He sends me a really snarky message saying it was immature to defriend him since we just agreed to be friends. He was probably mad he couldnt stalk me anymore so I threaten to go to the police if he bothers me again. He didnt say anything after this, but then a few months later he sends me a message apologizing for being overly dramatic and immature when we dated and promises to never bother me again. Also says he blocked my number and is very serious about leaving me alone. Havent heard from him since (5 days). I told him I'd go to the police if he talked to me again, so I'm going to the police.
He never threatened me with violence, but did call me a few names after we broke up so he could be dangerous since he's clearly not over me. Can I get a restraining order to make sure he leaves me alone for good? If I see a judge today with the evidence of harassing messages, how quickly will he get the restraining order? Or at least a no-contact order?
thanks
