The break up

For a variety of reasons, Catherine decided Saturday evening that it was time to end her relationship with her boyfriend.  I've not written much here about it, because we had only ever met him once about two months ago.  In spite of invitations, he had not wanted to meet us.  I'd had my concerns about him all along, but kept them to myself.  Anyway, on Saturday evening she let him know that the relationship was over due to incredibly hurtful and immature behavior that day.  We also came to find out that evening that anytime she had been with us he was angry, he didn't want her hanging out with any of her guy friends (or really any of her friends) and he had her share her location with him so that he always knew where she was.  As I explained to her, those are some red flags in a relationship, although he had never been violent or threatened her.  After she broke up, he attempted to text and call repeatedly so she blocked him.  He then tried to contact her on social media, so she blocked all of those platforms.  Yesterday morning she woke up to emails so she blocked him there (we didn't even know it could be done!).  She spent the morning at home doing homework and we shared lunch together before she headed back to her apartment.  When she arrived back at her apartment, he was in the parking lot waiting for her.  She closed the door on him, but he kept knocking saying he wanted to talk to her.  Her roommate told him Catherine didn't want to talk to him.  The roommate when out to check and he was still in the parking lot.  This was when we told Catherine to call the police and we were on our way.  The policed reported that he had been nervous when they talked to him, and he left.  We arrived shortly after and were there for about 45 minutes or so.  There was no more sign of him.  One of Catherine's roommates went through the police academy this summer and is making sure everything is being covered.  Again, at no point has he been threatening, but he just doesn't get it!  It was a much more draining day than we had anticipated, but it could've been much worse.  Catherine is prepared, she has plenty of pepper spray, and good roommates who are looking out for her!
