DEAR AMY: My ex and I have been separated for six years. After that we were on and off as a couple, but a year ago I told him I was seeing someone and I didn't want to continue this on and off nonsense and that I wanted to be friends.
He did not take this well. He called me a lot of nasty names and contacted the man I'm involved with.
My ex has made my life miserable. He follows me around, contacts my friends and bad mouths me. He insults me on Facebook.
The other day I found out he's been following me and he now knows where I work. I contacted the police but they told me they can't do anything because he did not approach or threaten me.
I then contacted his boss and informed him what one of his employees has been doing. He listened to me and sounded concerned.
But now I'm not sure if I did the right thing. I told his boss I didn't want any problems. I just wanted to be left alone. I also said that I didn't think his employee should be using the company vehicle to stalk me.
The boss told me he will do some thinking and will get back to me.
But I'm now wondering if this will cause things to escalate. I'm scared.
Was I wrong to contact his boss? -- Worried
