23 years. And no, I am not looking for sympathy.
23 years? What the hell is wrong with you?
I've heard the barebones version of this story from people in Dave's discord over the last few years, but I'd always assumed it was a relatively recent happening like Katie was desperately exploring her options outside of Dave and has shitty taste in partners.
23 years. You were, what? Teenagers? I can't even imagine being so hung up on any of the people I dated when I was young that I'd still be stalking them over two decades later trying to force my way into their life. My understanding is that your "thing" was strictly online with Katie and it only lasted a couple months? I would think you've had other relationships since then - hopefully in-person ones where you've experienced an actual connection and physical contact with another human being that would vastly overshadow a short-term online thing. Please tell me that you have, or else this is even fucking scarier, dude.
Can you confirm a few pieces of "trivia" about yourself I've heard? I'm genuinely curious.
- Is it true Katie has had to block you on so many venues that you've resorted to messaging Dave and their friends demanding that they make her speak to you until they block you as well? (I am guessing this is true considering you seem to have only shown up here because she's been mentioned, which leads me to assume you found this thread via search engine while trying to dig up more methods of reaching out to her.)
- Is it true that your relationship with Katie was founded on the fact you were threatening suicide over your previous online girlfriend leaving you, she felt bad for you, and then when she became scared of how clingy you were and tried to escape, you amped up the suicide threats and emotional manipulation to the point of openly encouraging strangers on a message board to harass her on your behalf?
- Is it true several artists will no longer accept commissions from you because of your relentless harassment and creepy behavior?
- Did you seriously commission porn of Katie's character by lying to artists that you had her permission, and then cry to her about how you basically did nothing wrong because you were just trying to move on and cope with the pain she'd caused you by breaking up with you over 20 fucking years ago?
If even half of this is true, it's no real wonder why she sees a human trainwreck like Dave as a sane partner by comparison. Jesus fucking christ, get help.
