Her Late Friend’s Boyfriend Started Texting Her Creepy, Personal Things After Her Friend Passed Away
Can you imagine dealing with the loss of a friend and then having to put up with their creepy boyfriend afterward? Unfortunately, that’s what recently happened to a woman after the tragic loss of her co-worker.
Back in July, her coworker and dear friend named Jane passed away. Jane was in her 60s and much older than her, so they had a kind of mother-daughter relationship.
When Jane didn’t show up for work one day, there was concern all around the store they worked in. Her landlord showed up that afternoon to tell them that after calling the police for a wellness check, they found her unconscious on her couch. She had suffered multiple strokes and was sent to the hospital.
She knew that Jane didn’t have any nearby family members except for her boyfriend, Steve, whom she had supposedly been with for over twelve years.
However, the day Jane went to the hospital, no one contacted Steve because they didn’t have his number, and he didn’t live with Jane.
The next day, Steve called the store, and she informed him of what was going on. They ended up meeting at the hospital to check in on Jane.
When they got to the hospital, Steve reacted to Jane’s condition in ways one wouldn’t expect an upset boyfriend to react. He was stone cold, showing no emotion, and barely even stood beside her.
Then, she became super skeptical of Steve after he could barely tell the nurses any correct information about Jane.
“He said she lived in a completely different city that’s almost an hour away,” she explained. “He said she had no pets, but she had two cats that were everything to her.”

“The nurse was so thrown off by this and thought this was strange how a long-term boyfriend knew nothing about his girlfriend after that long together.”
At one point, the nurse even pulled her aside to confess that she had a bad feeling about Steve. How could someone in a relationship that long not know anything about his partner?
Things got even more concerning after Jane’s landlord arrived at the hospital to check in on her. When he got there, Steve confronted him and asked who he was. He was upset, having no idea that Jane was renting her own apartment, as he thought she was living with family.
Once Steve left the hospital, the landlord filled her in on what he knew about his and Jane’s relationship.
Apparently, Jane used to live with Steve but moved out because she thought he was crazy. He threatened her, and Jane was scared he would hurt her, so the landlord offered her a place to rent.
After some time in the hospital, Jane’s family, who lived out of state, made the tough decision to take her off of life support, as the strokes had caused too much damage for her to recover. During this time, Steve called her and asked her to be a source of support for him since it felt like his world was “falling apart.”
“I told him yes and that if he ever needed anything, to call,” she says.
But then, Steve got a little too comfortable with texting her. He would blow up her phone constantly, and the subject matter transitioned from being about Jane to her personal life.
He would ask her how her days were going, what work was like, and other personal things. She eventually stopped responding to these questions since she was starting to feel uncomfortable.
At Jane’s service, Steve approached her and aggressively said in a low voice, “The next time I text you, please respond back to me.”
Although she ignored his aggression at the service, he continued to text her about personal things for days afterward.
It got to the point where she had to tell him that her boyfriend didn’t want her texting him anymore, and he obliged. She thought she had finally gotten rid of him until he started showing up at her workplace.
“He saw me and tried talking to me, but luckily I was with a customer, so he ended up leaving,” she explains. “Then, just today, the same thing happened.”
She’s starting to get concerned about his behavior but worries that if she tells anyone, they’ll take his side. She fears people will tell her she needs to support this man because he is grieving, but she doesn’t want to see him anymore.
