And let's crack on with today's first story.

Much love, guys.

Now, today's first story comes from Deceased Caterpillar from the Relationship Advice subreddit.

And it says, my 28 female boyfriend, 29 male, let my stalker ex, 28 male, into our apartment to leave me a birthday surprise.

How do I handle this absurdity?

I 28 female broke up with my ex 28 male 10 months ago, but he will not get over it, despite me wishing to no longer interact with my ex,

as well as me dating someone new, Cole, 29 male. My ex has been trying to win me back

by doing over-the-top things like sending me

gift baskets, love letters, chocolates, etc. Even though I've blocked his number on all social media,

and always ignore his attempts to woo me with his gifts. He never actually interacts with me

directly, never waits for me outside or tries to talk to me.

He just leaves me gifts at our doorstep and runs away. It's creepy and makes me super uncomfortable.

Cole, who I live with, doesn't actually see an issue with this and says he feels bad for my ex and doesn't

want me to waste my ex's money and efforts. So I reluctantly just let Cole

eat the chocolates and other crap since he insists I don't throw them out. He even likes reading

the love letters even though I tell him I don't want to. I don't understand why he's so chill

about this because my ex and Cole aren't even friends and have never interacted. So it makes no sense

why he's so okay with my ex doing these dumb gestures that he knows makes me uncomfortable and

creeped out. If anything, Cole should be pissed off that someone is trying to steal his girlfriend, right?
