OVERBEARING!! Oh man, I would totally freak out if someone left me this message.
“I don’t want to make you feel uncomortable..”!? Then don’t flatter me way beyond even what someone who was dating me for a long while might, set up a pretext of spiritual predestination that would undermine my agency, refer to me repeatedly (or at all) as “cutie” just after you’ve met me, talk about me like property, disclose far more of your emotional pains than even your dog might want to know on a good day (much more be out actively dating at all when those pains predomenantly persist), speak in those endless negative drones, play out this message far more than its welcome.. oy. This is a long list of Don’ts - but I’m guessing the Dos would be way beyond this guy..
DO NOT CALL HIM BACK!

Ooooh, so painful! Creepy, too, I’d say. I almost feel a little sorry for him…almost. But I also want to know who saves and forwards that kind of voicemail? I feel like I’m stepping into something waaayy too personal.

Yeah.. I think it’s a service to the world to broadcast such blatant, lets be honest, abuse. Creepy abuse. It may not be right to identify the victimizer here, but the victim can go on all they want to in public about how outrageous it is, as far as I’m concerned.. ’cause it’s totally outrageous.
