Can I sue my ex for causing to have serious mental stress after she broke up with me?


Ok my story is that in January 2007, I had to have surgery. After five days in hospital, someone on the internet contacted me. And from there on she started talking to me and things went on from there we met and started a long distance relationship. Everything was going great I was so in love with her and we were both so very happy. However in November I became devastated, she turned round to me and said she did not feel the same way as I did towards her. This was a few days before my second operation. She said she wanted to be friends and wanted some space, however being bed ridden everything dwelled on me, and I kept ringing etc till she changed her mobile number & blocked my emails. I have developed serious depression & panic attack/anxiety disorder. I have just today recieved a warning from the police for harassment! but thing is I have not spoken or anything to my ex for over a month and a half! what should i do? This has really messed me up, and i am terrified of life now!

Short answer: You need counseling.

Long answer: I'm thinking that your surgery has probably brought on some depression; being bed ridden has lead to a sense of isolation. You're in a very tough spot in your life right now, and it sounds like you were using this girl as your only lifeline. That's not fair to her or you.

Probably not, since she could not control what you did after your break up. If the serious mental stress was caused during the relationship you might have a case.

I'm sorry!

no

no. Your better off saving the court costs and using them to take a new lady to dinner! :)

Sorry but NO! You need to see your doctor and get on some anti-anxiety/depression meds to help pull yourself out of the muck you're in. You'll be glad you did. It'll get seriously worse if you don't do anything to help yourself!

Get over it! Get past this! Get your mind on what matters now! The sooner you move on alone,the sooner you will move forward positively. Forget her! If you don't,it will only drag you down. And then no one will care. Don't destroy yourself.

(a) You must stop calling her if she has broken off contact. The reason why the police just now contacted you is because, either they took their time after the complaint was made, or your ex simply waited a while before deciding to complain, just in case you decided to start calling her again. If you keep calling her, she can go to court and obtain a court order requiring you to stop calling. If you still kept calling, you could find yourself charged with harassment.

(b) No, you cannot sue your ex in court for breaking up with you, since a person does not owe another person the legal obligation not to break up with them, and therefore is not responsible for any emotional stress consequent to the breakup.

(c) If you do take her to court, bear in mind that the opposing lawyer will introduce evidence showig how you obsessively called her. The lawyer will attack your character. He may even demand a psychiatric examination. After its all finished, her lawyer will make you look like a psychotic, mentally disturbed stalker who is out for revenge. And.....court records are public.

I' sorry you are heartbroken, but you have nothing to sue for. Love is given and taken away. It's not a matter for the courts.

And don't try to contact her. She has that harassment order on you. It's over. You need to talk with a therapist and move on with your life.

I am not a lawyer and don't give legal advise. Call a lawyer for a consultation.
