I've left a couple of texts in the past few weeks and one phone call asking for my stuff & leaving my phone number to which I did get a phone call two weeks ago to which I got a reply," I have your number...." but no mention of the portfolio. I told him I needed it for employment in respect to job hunting.

I just don't understand why he hasn't responded to me?
He doesn't want to deal with confrontation or "the talk" about why he doesn't want to see you anymore and is avoiding you. That's the reason. Or people, men or women, who avoid closure are leaving an open window for 'just in case,' as well. No confirmation of anything leaves the door wide open.

I'm certainly not looking for the "talk" as I don't have anything to say except, I want my stuff!

Whatever he's dealing with has nothing to do with me; he's told me this previously. I'm not looking for closure here as it wasn't like I'm in love with the dude....

No you are right and it has nothing to do with whether or not you want 'the talk' I'm just saying that is what he is trying to avoid you.

Well, I've never personally dated you. My experience was with people I know. I'd go over there with at least one male friend. My guess is that the ex is with him again, and things would be ugly.

Actually that is horrible advice. Just do the police thing.

Right on. Little more background: she divorced him and it's his second divorce. When we were out & about around town, he was always very nervous about "being seen." Come to think of it, I'm not even sure how she found out about me...he had asked me about half way through the month if she had called me...I wasn't sure...I don't answer private or numbers I don't know on my cell. But he said she wanted to talk to me & warn me about him...I found that odd...so taking all this into consideration: I'm thinking she's the puppet master & has gone back to pulling his strings.

I have some big male friends who would gladly accompany my girlfriends & I, if necessary. Safety in numbers, right!

When I first got divorced, I thought a good way of dealing with it, would be to date a lot. Honestly, that was a terrible idea, since I wasn't in the right frame of mine. It was selfish, and I wish I could apologize to all those women.

You need to access how valuable what you left is. He's probably pretty confused/embarassed, himself. Just trying to let you know a frame of mind, from a recently divorced guy's perspective.

That is completely ridiculous that she should be calling you and talking to you about him! I think that says more about HIM than HER. If he gave her your phone number, that is abysmal. She's divorced from him - she has no right to interfere with his life any longer - unless he lets her, of course.

Those two aren't done yet, evidently. Steer clear! I hope you get your stuff, but even if you don't, I think you dodged a major drama bullet, in more ways than one.

Oh Geeeez, I remember you now. You had posted a thread about dating a recently divorced person and practically every person in that thread expressed that in your situation it was not a good idea, but you shrugged or laughed it off. This is the same guy. I see now.
