So, I understand that some people can have the same name, but this isn’t the case with my husband. My husband’s name is so unusually spelled that he was the only person, besides his biological father, who had that first and last name combination on a birth certificate. This is a fact that he shared with me when we first started dating. He seemed pretty proud of that, and I always thought it was funny. After I married him, and changed my last name to his, I became the only woman in America that had my first and last name on record. It’s just that odd of a last name, so please trust me on this one when I say that someone is using his name.

The profile on instagram, that I just discovered, displays a profile picture of an older man, standing, or sitting, beside a woman of about the same age. I wanted to report it to instagram, but there wasn’t an option to report the possibility of a spouse’s stolen identity. It is definitely not my husband’s account. The friends listed in the pages he follows, are not any names that I recognize from his group of friends. He would never lose contact with some of his closest friends.

I am worried.

    Stalking my account is, in fact, a crime. It goes along with cyber bullying. People have been arrested for it, and even sued for doing so.

      Lady you keep going into the same bar and now you’re threatening the other patrons because they recognize you as a regular.

      Replying to you on a social network does not equal cyber bullying no matter how hard you try to paint yourself a victim.

        If you’re stalking my account in order to find me, so you can make those comments, then you are committing a crime. It’s not about victim here, it’s about you breaking the law.

          You’re a drama queen. You’re not important enough to anyone here for them to stalk you. Why don’t you go back to the fantasy story you posted so we can figure out the one-armed man that has stolen your missing husband’s once-in-a-lifetime last name and who’s most nefarious activity so far is posting to instagram?
