SH, I own a translated edition of The Art of War, and I did read it cover to cover about a decade ago. I remember the basics okay, things like, when your enemy attacks, retreat, and when your enemy retreats, attack.
Over the last five weeks, my thinking has moved from trying to win back my girlfriend to simply getting her out of an abusive environment and staying in touch as a friend, with a small chance that we might get back together some day. I've been meeting up with her once a week just to boost her morale, and to try to talk details about the move, but she doesn't like to talk about the move. Finally, when I realized that she was planning on staying there until the end of the summer instead of just the end of this semester, I gave her an ultimatum today: promise to move out in May or I'm no longer interested in helping. In a lengthy series of text messages, we debated the matter, and she wouldn't budge. I was going to leave her hanging for a while, No Contact, and let her decide if she would change her mind. I fully expected her to give up on me, and I was finally okay with that.
Tonight, I went to a concert with my best friend. I bought the tickets online last January for Amy and I, but the tickets didn't arrive until after I had my first encounter with Craig. Amy and I were still planning to go to the show as friends tonight, but then she remembered a few days ago that today is also Craig's birthday. We agreed that it would be a good idea for her to stick around for his birthday plans, whatever they were. So I gave her ticket to my friend two days ago.
While at the show tonight, I received three text messages from Craig and two from Amy. I have had zero contact with Craig since January 21, the day that I heard her side of the story:
Craig at 8:12 PM:
"Mike, it's Craig. Amy tells me u continue to call and text and harass her, and how upset u were that she wasn't going to the concert tonight with u..."
Craig at 8:13 PM:
"This is the only warning that I am giving u to leave us alone and stop the harassment. Amy doesn't care about u, she just used u for a place to live and for extra money."
Craig at 8:14 PM:
"Lets not force things to get ugly, neither of us wants that."
Amy at 8:20 PM:
"You called Craig today? Why? I trusted confiding in you."
Me at 8:26 PM:
"I did not call Craig today. I haven't texted, called or spoken to him since January 21. Ask him to show you his phone."
Amy at 8:30 PM:
"He said you did and he knew about the concert."
Me at 8:44 PM:
"Ask to see it on his phone. I see that he has sent me threatening texts tonight, but I'm not responding to him. Somehow, he has been spying on you."
Anybody here still think that Craig is harmless? I believe that he has cloned her phone. He knows too much about our recent text messages, even though Amy has been deleting them from her phone.

“And then there are people who want to spy on others for any covert reason. In this case if you clone somebody’s mobile, you can read their received and sent text messages as well as the phone numbers. You can even use the phone pretending to be the other person. If the person with the original phone is using it while you try to use the cloned one, you can eavesdrop on the conversations. People who are suspicious of their partners or spouses sometimes do this.”
