Despite 2 restraining orders, Amie Harwick’s LVM ex-boyfriend broke in, strangled her, and threw her off a balcony, ending her life. Reminder to break it off EARLY and COMPLETELY with LVM, before they get attached.

This is sickening, and what does it tell us about exactly how bad domestic violence really is that she was a psychologist who specialized in it?

Also, in related news, what the actual fuck is wrong with Wendy Williams?

“Several outlets report Harwick went to court twice to seek restraining orders against Pursehouse, whom she dated more than a decade ago.”

Dated, that’s it. Who knows—maybe she did break it off early...

Ugh -he was a software engineer. Not to disparage anyone in STEM fields, but STEM dudes have extra weirdo creep vibes. Lack of empathy? Porn sick? Can't put my finger on it,..

I find it quite disturbing that the headline still blames the victim for her ex's madness.

Whether you dated him or he's just a regular guy down the street, a mad man is a mad man.

Maybe we should encourage women to learn self defence techniques in case they are alone with psychos.

Or do what I did and break up over the phone in a safe location. Lay low for a while and go with the "it's not me it's you" and act like your really heartbroken over it. When I say lay low I mean lay low, block him on all your socials but keep an eye on him to see if he found his next vict-girlfriend.

If you live with him slowly most the most important is your things in a place he can't get to. If they are related to him or sympathize him in any way don't leave it at their house aka his momma, grandma, auntie, best friend or your family.

Avoid all the old places y'all used to hang out at for at least 6 months. If you run into him keep it polite and Kurt make sure he doesn't follow you to where your car is or follow you in his car.

He is going to try to get different phone numbers to contact you including email addresses you might even get his relatives in on it and try to get you to come over by lying about him dying or being sick or getting cancer. He's going to regret his life is all right and he's changed but don't fall for it girl. he hasn't he still living with his mom playing video games and watching p*** and being violent it's not worth it don't ever go back your eyes are in the front of your head for a reason.

Does anybody have more information about the background of their relationship? Her ex fiance is much older than her and based on his comment, it seems like things ended on ok terms (but how can you say anything negative about someone who's just been murdered without voluntarily sounding like a terrible person?)

Anyway, I think it'd be good to read about how she met this new guy and for how long they were together before they made it exclusive as a cautionary tale for all of us. Sorry if I'm sounding really insensitive. This is a tragedy but I think we all have something to learn from this.

Tragic

One reason I hate OLD is that the first time you meet a guy you are already 'dating' him. IME this gives them a sense of entitlement, and they can be hard to get rid of.

Whereas if I meet them IRL I can vet them by stealth and ask my community for more information about them. This recently helped me screen out a compulsive liar.

When a criminal is caught and punished, he comes back for revenge and does something even more horrible. It's the same thing that happens to employers who fire employees that embezzle money.

It's sad, because what else can you do? Let somebody ruin your life and workplace, or take the law in your own hands? Frustrating and tragic situation to be in...
