Libby Cleave thought she had a clean break up with a guy she had dated for a year and a half but then it all turned out to be a traumatic experience…
…After she found out her ex had been spying on her from beneath her bed.
Libby claimed in her TikTok @libbycleaves video that the two of them started well. He was this “nice guy” she met, and they both were in college at the time.
They had met each others’ friends, and she had also met his parents. Everything was looking good and going so smoothly that they even considered marriage and their future together.
After they had dated for about a year and a half, Libby started to entertain the idea of wanting to break up with her boyfriend because “emotionally, he wasn’t very intelligent,” Libby stated in her second video.
At the same time, her boyfriend had also begun responding strangely to certain things, sometimes shutting Libby out completely.
There was even one point when the guy’s mother called after knowing Libby was seeking a breakup.
She then asked Libby if her boyfriend was taking his medicine.

This new information astounded Libby as that was the first time she heard about her boyfriend’s mental health condition.
Her boyfriend’s mother continued to explain that her boyfriend was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 Disorder.
“I needed to talk to him about that,” Libby said in her video. “When I brought it up to him, he did not respond well.”
“After that, I was like, we should not keep dating, (I said) this is not going to be good for anyone,” she continued. “And he just looked at me and was like, ‘Okay, okay.’”
Fast Forward to a few weeks after the breakup, Libby expressed that she had not been sleeping well during these couple of weeks. And she continued to feel weird but did not know what had caused those strange feelings.
At first, she thought she was going through some phases after a breakup. “I was like, oh maybe because he was my first real boyfriend, and breaking up is sad and tough.”
Then one night, Libby revealed that she had heard loud breathing and checked her tiny dorm room until she moved the storage box under her bed and saw him there looking back at her.
“At that point, I thought I would be screaming and freaking out,” Libby said. “But I just got really calm.”
After telling her ex-boyfriend to come out from under her bed, the guy had revealed to Libby that he had been hiding there for multiple weeks.
He also did things, including spraying his cologne into Libby’s room when she wasn’t there and even using her toothbrush.
After the incident, Libby quickly filed a restraining order against him and hasn’t heard from him since. Libby left people with one final message about what she learned at the end of her video.
“Y’all, just let people prove to you who they are,” she said. “Because they will show you.”
