New GF being hassled by Ex.

    O.K. I'm unregging for this one.

    Basically my new GF is being sent abusive texts, emails etc by her ex. (they broke up 6 months ago)

    He works with us and has been physically abusive in the past towards her. Sometimes she can be a little naive and just wants to be his friend. Lately she comes home from work in tears after a days abuse from him. I've tried calmly explaining that she can't be friends with him until he cops on and stops the abuse.

    I've given her space when she needs it and been as supportive as I can be but I wonder if it will get any better as hes making life unbearable. Any advice greatly appreciated.

    tbh this is no longer a simple ex story, its way out of hand. she needs to go to the police. its not acceptable or average behaviour 6 months later.

    OP, you say "he works with us". If all three are working for the same company and your GF is coming home from work upset then presumably he is harassing her during work hours so she (not you) has grounds to complain about harassment/bullying to management.
