Guy I know was almost hit w/ a restraining order for going to ex gal's home and work to discuss why their relationship shouldn't end and how "things could be worked out." Judge said it was borderline but no Order because ex hadn't said any of the magic words, "Go away; do not call; We are definitely over." Her language was too vague and men are persistent and will look for any sign of hope. Example from Dumb and Dumber:
Lloyd: What do you think the chances are of a guy like you and a girl like me ending up together?
Mary: Not Good.
Lloyd: You mean not good like 1 out of a 100?
Mary: I'd say more like 1 out of a million.
Lloyd: So you're telling me there's a chance. Yeah! I read ya.
So unfortunely she needs to be harsh. And if it's in person, she should do it while her parents at home. Not just b/c he may go nuts but because he is less likely to be melodramatic and try to guilt her. An ex (in his thirties) once vaguely suggested he'd be suicidal if all contact stopped and he could never talk to me again. I called his mother "out of concern for [XX]". He very quickly pulled himself together and magically became unsuicidal.
