Fake social media accounts haunting me
By Amy Dickinson
Dear Amy: I’ve met a great guy. We’ve gone out on six dates, and I am taking things very slowly.
This is my first time going out with someone in the seven years since my ex-husband and I divorced.
The real reason I’m taking things slowly is because a person who has a vendetta against me has made fake social media accounts to harass me.
It’s all over the internet, but all of these postings and references are under my old married name.
I am working to officially change my name back to my pre-married name, and have tried to contact the internet sites, to no avail.
I’d love it if my ‘new guy’ never found out about it, and so far I don’t think he has.
Getting my birth surname back should solve some of my problems, as you have to dig deeper to uncover slanderous information. It won’t surface in a quick search.
Should I tell him about this, or wait until we are in an exclusive and monogamous relationship?
I am afraid to tell him now, as the relationship is still new.
I hope that once he knows me better, it will have less of an impact.
What do you think?
