None of the reasons for your girlfriend continuing to talk to him online make sense. If a girl who was a friend of one of your male friends and who you didn't remember from 8 years ago started emailing you and saying she wanted you, would you feel obligated to talk to her even though you have a gf? How does this guy qualify as a friend to your gf? To be friends, both people have to be getting something. He's feeding his obsession, but how does she benefit? Does she tell him about her day and what's going on in her life, share confidences, plan things to do? She can't be so hard up for friends that she needs the stalker to complete her. Sometimes a girl will tell you something because she's feeling guilty. A girl once volunteered the information that she went over a guy's house because he was a friend to help him move. That didn't mean it was innocent. She wasn't superwoman, the only reason he called her was because he wanted her, and the only reason she went was because she was too.
The guys actions are insane. 30 gifts? Friends with the husband so he can still see her? Obsessing after 8 years and tracking the person? Doing this all from another country? She obviously isn't scared of him or think he's as creepy as you do. He's revealed enough that if she wasn't interested on some level, she should be scared.
If I was in your position, I wouldn't send him any address. I would also tell my girl that I was extremely worried for her safety because the guy's actions are way too obsessive. I would tell her that she's encouraging him and leading him on by continuing to email him and not simply telling him to stop writing her. I would also point out that if she sends an address and he showed up at her door, you couldn't get a restraining order because she's been having a friendship with him and gave him the address. I would also tell her that she's hurting him more by talking to him and feeding his hope, than by telling him that he seriously has zero chance. Tell her that the guy mentality is that a girl can say she has a bf, but if she keeps talking to the guy after he states interest, he thinks he's got a real chance.
Those are very logical arguments. Do not demand that she stops writing him. If your girl still keeps writing him, then you might have a problem on your hands.
