Dear Ant O' the Agony,
I have a problem that no one thus far has been able to help me with. You see, I am truly madly deeply in love with my ex boss. He doesn't make it easy for me though. I feel he is out to sabotage every attempt I make to make him the happiest man on earth. He even went so far as to sack me from my workplace, claiming harrassment. How can it be harrassment when we are meant to be together? I sent him daily emails, reaffirming my love for him, and he never once said a thankyou for it. I even had to resort to including everyone in the office on the emails, so he would see I was genuine. He didn't see. I tried stopping his wife calling the office by running to answer his phone, telling her that he was going to leave her one day and that she should stop calling him so he could do his work. He was a very busy man, you know. At times, I even had to raise my voice so she would hear me clearly, she always got very irate at me and said many nasty things. She was highly irrational over the whole thing. Some people just can't accept such things I think. But she is not my problem. Not now anyway, as she is buried in my backyard.
I'm finding it increasingly difficult to even talk to him lately, as the conditions of the restraining order stipulate that I cannot go within 50 metres of him. I have to stand quite far from his front door now to even get his attention. I feel his neighbours support me though, they come outside often and yell at us to work it out. They're a nice bunch of people. He has finally given up on changing his phone number, which is handy. I make the effort to call when he is not there so I can leave messages on his answering machine. At least now some of what I am saying is getting through.
So while fate has put many obstacles in my path, I am working to overcome these, but remains the problem of getting him to see things from my point of view.
Please help me, Dear Ant.
Signed,
Crazy in Cooktown
