[Serious] When was a time you interacted with a seemingly “normal” person, but later found out that they were not?

Several years ago I dated a guy for a few years and found out he cheated on me. Was devastated because I was under the impression we were in it for the long haul at the time. I thought he was a normal guy and I wanted to spend my life with him. Either way, we parted ways and it took me an extremely long time to get over him (now looking back, breaking up was best thing to ever happen to me once I found out who he really is!).

Fast forward to a few years later, he was now married to the girl he cheated on me with but, he kept trying to contact me. First, it started with emails/text. If I didn't respond, he'd try to find me on social media and send me message there. If I blocked him, he would create a pseudo account and message me through that. Eventually, I would get annoyed with him that I'd finally talk to him to see what he wanted. He usually wanted to flirt with me, and try to carry on some type of sexual text exchange. I wasn't having it! He was in a relationship and I was not about to open that can of worms! Eventually, our conversation would end up in some form of argument between us and he'd block me and vice versa. (that lady he married divorced him after a few years)

Again, after a few years he'd attempt to contact me in the same way he had previously (email, texts, social media, etc.). He wouldn't let up, it didn't matter how much I blocked him he'd always find a way to contact me. Again, I'd get annoyed and ask what he wanted and it was the same as before, some type of flirt/sexual discussion/etc. Like before, we would eventually get into a fight because I didn't want to have anything to do with that. He'd block me, I'd block him...blah blah blah...rinse, repeat a few times before I pretty much stopped doing social media because of it. I literally closed all of my accounts, changed emails addresses and carried on with life.

About two years ago he found my cousin on Facebook. Unfortunately for me, my cousin works online and accepts EVERYBODY to his Facebook because of it. His Facebook is more like the face of his company more so than his personal Facebook account. He found my cousin, sent an invite on another one of his pseudo accounts, and literally stalked my cousin's facebook for about 9 months trying to get to me! He would post on my cousin's posts about random things that I guess he thought I would see? Like, if I saw them I would know it was him or something? I'm not sure. He kept this charade up for 9-10months before he finally got frustrated and DM'ed my cousin directly to say who he was and that he wanted to talk to me. My cousin let me know what was going on and I was flabbergasted! (Mind you, I am not close with this cousin so it was a shock that he even knew that this person was my cousin. I never introduced him to my cousin while we were dating, he didn't even know my cousin existed, my cousin and I do not share last names, I am not on my cousin's facebook - I don't have a facebook anymore!...yea...FREAKY!)

Silly me! I talked to him because I wanted to know why in the F he was contacting my cousin!
Found out he moved really close to where I live now. (Backstory, when we broke up, I eventually moved 400+ miles away from my hometown for college and stayed in the area after college) He lives about 30 miles away. He now is in another relationship and has popped out a few kids with her. However, he still tries to contact me, he has sent pictures to my house of me walking around town, in my neighborhood. I've moved twice since I've found out he lives near me and he still finds me.

​

So yea, he DEFINITELY is not the 'normal' guy I thought he was back when we dated. I was really under the impression we were going to get married. I am SO glad that did not happen.
