We're totally working on this. I want him to find his OWN way of standing up for himself without imposing my methods on him. I'm a fairly aggressive person and will stand up for myself in almost any situation....I also love a good fight on behalf of an underdog...it's just my nature (as it is his) that stems from childhood stuff I'm sure. He offered to de-friend her and to ask her to knock it off but I said "no" because some women see these things as a victory...if she's interested in him still and senses that she's causing problems, I'm not sure if she'd take it to the next level or not (whatever that means). She may be a perfectly nice person who just has a problem with boundaries and nothing more than that...Given that other people have had too much influence on him and this is something that he's working on, I really am hesitant to ask him to de-friend or block...these really do have to be his choices.
I hope he does make the right choice but I have a feeling at best, it's going to take her crossing the boundary more for him to do anything maybe even because you'll really have had it at that point too with her.

Don't be afraid to do something just because you're worried that she'll see it as a "victory" who cares? What matters is your peace and security and your relationship with your guy. Secondly never make choices based on what she might do to hurt you more or take it "up a notch". She's holding you hostage at this point, you won't do anything against her because you're afraid of her. If she's trying to cause you stress, she's already winning!
Thanks for this!
