Ex trying to take me to court for phone harassment and threatened to sue me, file restraining order?

Postby shen86 » Sat Dec 17, 2011 11:40 am

Haha, ok so this situation is a little long and stupid so bare with me.. SHE ALSO FILED A RESTRAINING ORDER. I am also 17, live in Texas, and have a completely clean criminal record.

So basically an ex screwed me over horribly, and for the first few days we were trying to work things out but then she started cutting me completely out, then she would give me mixed signals like saying she wanted to be friends then the next day would completely ignore me.
Continue forward, I ask her to work things out with me, which was impossible for her to do due to her lack of reasoning and stubborness. After not being able to leave her alone (constantly sending her texts, she would often reply with a short response like "ok" or something), etc. I also asked her to talk it out formally and nicely, which she refused to do. She refused to tell me the truth and kept making up new stories, she also lied to me about the reason we broke up. In general she refused to work with me, even though I made it clear that it was the solution and it could end in no time if she just had a cooperative talk with me. She never did.

*IMPORTANT* I take Vyvanse, and it keeps my mind on things all the time, which is why I couldn't stop focusing on the issue with her, and numerous times I BEGGED her to block my number and facebook so I wouldn't be tempted or do it, which she did not comply with.
I also ended up cussing her out numerous times due to the rage that had built up, usually along the lines of her being a whale, wh*re, etc. (I know it's mean but she screwed me over bad, and the meds didn't help)
She WOULD tell me to leave her alone, but even if I did text her after that she'd reply back. She also on a few occasions cussed at me back. But I had a few REALLY harsh occasions were I said really mean things, but I then said I'd leave her alone, and sometimes apologized.

They think I threatened her because I said "You'll be sorry" and "Nobody screws me over and gets away with it" to her, which was totally blown out of context by them apparently, which is why they're filing a restraining order. They're suing me, but in no way did I ruin her reputation or anything. She screenshot my texts and talked to my friends about it, who then spread it around because they thought it was funny and looked at me as if I were a hero for saying it all (none of them really like her).
So in no way did I slander her name, technically she did that to herself. I kept all I said private. I never threatened her, I never degraded her image, reputation, or anything. I merely called her harsh names in constant text messages.

So summed up:
-Ex-gf screwed me over
-I constantly texted her because I take VYVANSE which is an ADD med which kept her on my mind, which I made clear to her that it was hard for me, so she had knowledge of it.
-I asked NUMEROUS TIMES for her to block me on social networking sites and my phone number, which she did not do.
-I cussed her out and called her names, but kept it private. She spread it around herself, basically by showing my friends (who like me more) then they spread it around.
-I did say things that could personally effect her, as in she should lose weight, no one likes her, etc.
-Never really threatened her
-Never threatened with physical abuse
-Never stalked her, go near her house, place of work, etc.
-She then had a friend call up, call me offensive names, and threatened me with lawsuits and said I was going to jail, which I had a friend witness because it was on speaker phone.
-Despite telling me to never text her again, if I did she would usually reply to it and then would vent about it to her friends.

So does she have a legitimate case? Could I be charged with a class B misdemeanor? Let alone be sued and have a restraining order filed?
I may or may not have left things out, if I did then I will change it in the edit.
Honestly I'm sure the court and police get it all the time and probably have more important matters.

BTW- I'm completely over the whole thing. Haha.

Medication probably could help you in a criminal court, but i doubt civil-but i am not a lawyer

Ask yourself why are you putting up with this, our government is corrupt. I would suggest milking the government for all it's worth as your advance your education, then take your talent overseas. You'll still be obligated for your student loans, but the government that received the reward of your industry you can choose to be a country that respects your natural rights. You don't need America, many countries are faring much better economically, Let this police state burn itself to the ground because of it's lack of social and economic freedom, you are not an a person to be herded as an animal; you are an individual, and you can be free almost anywhere else but these united states. You deserve more than to be exploited for your labors to a country that has no interest in your natural rights. After you move overseas and establish citizenship, send a letter to the secretary of state with a nice "F* you", state your reasons, then renounce your American citizenship.

As long as you are NOT harassing him, you are fine. He can not prove it in the court of law. Plus, you are NOT threatening him in anyway, then you are fine. There is a fine line between threat and harassment. Harassment is more like an opinion and you can simply deny it. If is is taking you to a court, you would need a competent lawyer to help you on your side. If you win the case, you can collect an attorney fee from your opponent by suing him ~!!!!

God Bless USA ~!!!!
