Input: So in 10th grade, this guy from my school (we’ll call him R) found me from tumblr and started following me around school. It was kinda creepy, but I didn’t think much of it. But one day, R comes to school, guitar in one hand and a bouquet full of flowers in the other, surrounded by all his friends. They push me to the center of the quad area at school, in front of EVERYONE, and R starts performing a song he had written to ask me out on a date. I’m mortified. He, all his friends who helped orchestrate this, EVERYONE, is just STARING at me.  Keep in mind, I hardly even knew who this guy was. He literally just found me online and started stalking me. I finally manage to say “um R. Can we talk privately?” I pull him aside and say that while I appreciate the song, I would rather just be friends. R got PISSED. He starts guilt tripping me saying stuff like “I set aside EVERYTHING to do this for you!” as if I EVER showed any romantic interest and as if I EVER even asked him to do any of that. But, R still accepts to just being my friend.

Except he didn’t treat me like his friend. From then on, R tried controlling every aspect of my life as if we were dating. He would get angry at me for hanging out with my friends and not him. He wanted me texting him at ALL times during the day and wouldn’t let me sleep just so I had more time to talk to him. if I fell asleep I would wake up to tons of angry messages asking where I was, calling me horrible names. He would stalk all of my social media so he could see if I was online and scream at me if I was and just not responding to him. I lost so much weight because of how stressed I was. I must have lost 5 days of sleep to avoid R’s awful, abusive messages. I had to start changing my route to my classes at school because if R ran into me, he would start berating at me right then and there, in front of everyone. 

Finally, summer comes and I’m able to avoid R. I fled all my social media, remade, and blocked him on everything. The next school year comes, and I become really good friends with this girl we’ll call S. We ended up becoming best friends and we vented to each other often. Of course, R came up while we were talking and I told her everything and she was horrified that I had to go through something like that. Until a couple months later, S and R start dating??? I was floored. i kept telling S “I’m glad you’re happy, but I don’t really feel comfortable hanging out with you because of what R did”. S says “What did R even do to you?” I tried again and again to remind her what R did and that she was welcome to date him but I wasn’t sure if I could remain friends with her because of how much I feared for my own safety, but then after a couple weeks she would immediately forget what R had put me through. S and I started growing distant because of this, until finally, for my own mental health and well-being, I stopped talking to her. 

TL;DR: AITA for cutting off a friend because she knowingly dated my stalker?
