DEAR CHRISTINE,

MY FRIEND'S ex-boyfriend of four years was paid out for his contribution towards a house they were building.

In fact, he even got more than he contributed, as he had no bills to account for what he was asking. He left my friend for another woman.

"Greener pastures" and "more sex" was how he put it although my friend tried to tell him there was more to a relationship than just the sex and they could work it out.

Now he is harassing my friend's new boyfriend and telling everyone that she put him out for this guy. He even once approached the guy as his friends spurred him on. Stupid.

Words mean nothing once you know the truth, but the harassment is a definite no no!

This man needs to grow up and move on!

He made his decision and now is too much of a coward to live with it.

My question to you is: should she get her lawyer to serve him with a letter to "cease and desist"?

Please advise my friend if she should get legal advice on this matter.

- WORRIED FRIEND.

DEAR WORRIED FRIEND:

At this stage, it seems to me that this is more a matter for the police, than a lawyer.

Seems like she has sorted out the legal matters, at least regarding his pay out.

If he continues his harrassment of her boyfriend and it is not dealt with soon, it could become worse.

If it happens again, then the police should be called, followed by the necessary steps for a restraining order.

- CHRISTINE.
