Arrested over a Rose


Well I tried to woo back my significant other yesterday without really thinking of any consequences and got arrested and charged for "Breach of Court Order" last night.Stupid me for having a floral shop write on a card "Love You" and deliver her a rose.No malice intended...just wanted to let her know that I still loved her.But I shouldn't have it seems.So no more attempts at that again.

The two officers who came for me were very polite and were quite understanding and found that I meant no real malice or threat to anyone and released me from there after a grand total of one and a half hours from start to finish.They said they understood why I did what I did but that the law still had to be enforced...I agrred with them and apologized for my act.But I have learned from this.....and that's a good thing.

Just sharing.Thanks for reading.

if there is a no contact order, it means just that.. no contact.. what did you think would happen? im not being mean..just asking.. it seems shes made her choice. I dont know your story.. but laws like this are meant to protect women..and im glad to know some laws do work. People will think well it was just a rose.. but oj simpson had a no contact order too i think and 2 people ended up dead. Im sorry if you think that is harsh.. i have to look at all sides.

You deserve what happened. I have no sympathy.

What did I write on your blog yesterday???????????? You obviously chose to do your own thing, so why bother with the solicitation of advice?

"Even though I doubt if this blog could be legally construed as breaching your "no contact" order, the court may take a dim view of it.

On the other hand, your conciliatory plea would have no import with the court. I suspect your spouse does not appreciate it either.

The court tends to view the period immediately following separation as the "honeymoon period." It is not unusual for one party to seek atonement with their spouse; again, the courts tend to reserve any favourable impression.

Sorry to be so blunt, but I worked in divorce court, and it is the crudest, most inhospitable arena of litigation that I have been privy to."

You were not arrested 'over a Rose' ...

... you were arrested for your Behaviour, because of your Action(s).

Saucy said it well - 'NO CONTACT MEANS NO CONTACT'.

Here is a true-fact story/it's a true-fact parallel about what we (oops I meant 'you') believe -or not believe: A distant rellie of mine was VERY ABUSIVE toward his wife, children -and- his parents, siblings and nearly anyone/everyone with whom he ever had interaction.

After too-many years of his behaviour(s), filed for and was granted a divorce from him. THE ABUSER appeared at the Court day/date for the Court's 'hearing' of his wife's application for divorce. That fella showed up, and cried and wept and PLEADED-BEGGED that he was ever-so-sorry for all his heinous behaviours/actions - and SWORE that he LOVED his wife with all his heart and soul!

His wife's Divorce was granted!

Day after all that, the fella took his then g/f, (with whom he had been cohabiting for a year) - and drove across the State line and married there in a State where there was a 'no wait' Law - so a person could apply for a marriage license, pay the fee for that - and walk down the hall to be married by a J.P.

Soooo - Question is: Which day was he 'sincere' about his behaviours/actions?

That could best be answered by the next 4 (or 5) women who NEEDED to divorce him to secure their own safety.

'Sincerity' about one's behaviours/actions can only be determined a very long time after the Book of History has been written.

Hi Sylvester: If sending a rose to your ex caused her to report it to the police as a violation of a court order, then I suppose you will have to accept the fact that she is serious about the relationship being over. Breaking up is never easy, so good luck and I hope you will be o.k.

God, I hate to be the one to ask this but isn't there someone you might talk to other than 350,000 SFF members who have no idea what either of you have gone through?

The relationship is over, I think. I don't know what happened and it does not matter anyway. Next time, send the rose to someone who might actually LIKE receiving one.

Best of luck to you both.

Syl.... I agree with what others have said on your blog. You have a "No Contact" order so you should stay away and stop airing your dirty laundry here.

I agree with Bike..... You deserved what happened.

I agree Bruja....I did deserve to be arrested....I had no right to break the Order....even if it was only a rose with a "Love You" note attached.....thank you for reminding me about that...I will no longer break the law to try and say anything or to try to prove anything.
