Oh SA. That is really quite a thing to have to put up with. I don't remember him always being like this? I know he has been annoying at different points and hasn't ever liked you going out but this following you out and about seems new or have you just been putting it up with it? I am so sorry. You need his sister to come round.....

Hi there SA - I've just caught up with nearly two months worth of your diary! Loved the photos of your finished bedroom (especially the wardrobes), the dog, and your pretty bag - lovely colour.I also now know where to visit if I fancy a day out - it will be to the Sunflower Centre of the U.K., aka your garden! Reading about all the plants sprouting all over made me laugh!🤣🤣🤣🌻🌻🌻
As for Mr SA - nothing changes here does it? The Pester Lists continue and he manages to track you down whenever you're off for a bit of Me time. I would be tempted to ring up his sister and ask her direct if she could take him out for the day and give you a break seeing that she puts her two pennies worth in each time she speaks to him. But would he actually go? 🤷♀️Anyway your nails sound fab!💅🏻 xFinally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟

He’s always been like this even before his brain injury. I seem to have a knack of choosing blokes with stalker tendencies as the two exes pre Mr SA were the same. Plus I used to attract random deluded blokes I’d shown no interest in who would be classed as stalkers nowadays. My mum was convinced I’d end up murdered 😆
His sister isn’t interested, she rings him every day but that’s her duty done as far as she’s concerned. The times I’ve complained about him to her but she just says bless him he’s worried about you.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4 -

Is there any help out there? Like doggy daycare / respite care, just to let you escape out without being stalked every now and again?Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

There is respite but he won’t go. I just wish he’d get himself a hobby, something to do that doesn’t involve me. In normal times I visit friends a train ride away where he can’t follow me or he thinks I’m at work and I hop on a cheap day return to Birmingham instead and have a wander around the Bullring. Things will improve when we get back to normal in the meantime there is gin 🤣🤣I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6

Yes there is gin!🤪. Seriously though next time you visit friends via train, don't let him know until the morning you go - at least you won't have to put up with him moaning to you about it for days on end!Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟

You are a Saint SA. Really don't know how you put up with it.5

The friends I visit by train he’s perfectly ok with because they’re retired and quite a bit older than me. Not sure what his logic is there.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

He must think you’re getting pampered for a toy boy, but your safe with the pensioners 🤣🤣
You do wonder what does go through his mind if he even think logical with his brain injury.Your nails sound fab.6
