Dear Stephen,

Well im seeing this guy whos a sophomore at lsu and im a junior, were not going out yet but hes gonna ask me soon coz he asked my friend if she thought I would say yeah. I wanna say yeah and im gonna, but his ex girlfriend is hasseling me over myspace. (I’ll change it into full english for you in case u hate text talk :P)

HER: Do you go out with (name)? Dont tell him i asked u

ME: No we’re just seein each other at the mo lol ...who r u if you dont mind me askin??

HER: His ex.. Yeah well dont bother stepping foot *round here*

Shes basically telling me not to show my face round where she and him live. I didnt reply and she emailed me again asking when I started seeing him. I again didnt reply and she emailed me saying

“you little fxcking slu*! dont bother coming into ******** (the place) and tell (name) hes a fxcking little dude!

THESE EMAILS WERE 2 WEEKS AGO, SHE EMAILED ME YESTERDAY ASKING IF I WAS STILL SEEING HIM COZ HE WAS TELLING HER DIFFERENT?

..I asked him about it and he didnt seem to have a clue about her and was just like what are you talking about. How do i get rid of the ex help!

Dear Disturbed,

… what the hell is this? Seriously.

I generally try to treat all of my readers with equal respect, taking every problem just as seriously as the next. After all, every relationship is different, and no one else can decide which problems are most important to a couple.

However, this is just awful. Yes, I will try to help you with this problem, but not before a little more abuse. Please learn to type, for the love of humanity. You are not taking the right courses at LSU.

And to everyone else: Thank you for writing mostly coherent letters to me over the years.

Ignoring the juvenile nature of the MySpace messages, I have a series of steps for you to take:

1. Ignore all messages from the ex-girlfriend, but save them and keep hard copies.

2. Ask the guy you’re interested in to confirm that these messages are indeed from his ex-girlfriend.

3. If so, ask him to set her straight, as you don’t feel safe going on dates with him until he gets involved in the matter.

4. If messages persist, call the authorities.

5. If the guy you’re interested in does nothing to alleviate this matter, the obvious decision is to stay away from him, as he is not a man.

Now, here’s the advice in your language:

Those msgs are like wtf a kid wrote those LOL? i mean is she 12 coz nbdy is that dum. Ne wayz, wut u should do tho is follow these steps k here they r:

1. save the messags n print dem out, oh and also dont send ne 2 her sense u kno she could say u were harrrassin her two!

2. ask ur futur bf ‘hey whos she coz i beat her ass but imma make sure she ur ex or else I dunno lol’

3. If he sad ‘yeah thas myy ex…’ then u better say ‘plz txt her on myspace and say wtf were thru stop it so i can move on k?’

4. but the ex mite not stop so u shuld call police to get her in jail HAHAHAHA stupid bxtch desserts whatev she gets!

5. If ur bf dosnt tell her 2 go way maybe you shod dump him cuz girl u can do better prolly.

You’re welcome. Invoice is in the mail.
