“… hey Mark, I’m truly sorry to have to do this but you need to see this text from your dad.”
HerrVorragend@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Nah. Nothing good will come out of this.
I would rebuff this advance in no uncertain terms. Then ignore and file the father in law under “untrustworthy scum of the earth”.
This is stuff that can destroy lifes.

Hard disagree. If my father was a piece of shit like this I would definitely want to know. Keeping silent just allows the father skirt responsibility. It’s 100% OP choice though obviously.
Tyfud@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Disagree. If the son cared, he’d end things with his father. He should become a better man than his father. Tell the son, and if he doesn’t respond in support of his wife, then it should probably end there anyhow.

By saying nothing you make yourself complicit in keeping this betrayal a secret. Unacceptable to me, at least.

The good thing that will come of this is that Mark will understand why they should never spend time with his dad again

I don’t know why… But I really hate it when people write like this… Actually… Now that I think about it… I actually do know why…

My father in law, who is otherwise a very nice person, overuses ellipses in his informal written communication and it bothers the hell out of me
The crazy thing is he is extremely well educated. He was a professor at a super classy university, had a very distinguished career, etc. dude can write. But hand him an iphone and all of a sudden he can’t end a sentence definitively…

Hey but he offered full discretion. What a gentleman haha

Oh shit, we good then. Why yes, that is purified radium I’m gobbling by the handfuls, and no it has nothing at all to do with this post.

That’s sexual harassment in a nutshell.

Gotta say, the down votes on this comment are deeply disturbing. Do those people think that this is acceptable behaviour?
AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Not one of those who downvoted you. But I have a question. This is obviously cringy and immoral on so many levels. But would it be considered harassment if:
- The FIL is sending this as a one off and never bringing it up again
- He’s not getting mad or otherwise being offended at the woman
Basically, my question is what makes this harassment as opposed to an unwelcome sexual advance?

Holy shit that’s awful!

Green text got nothing on this.
Sorry you have to tell Mark. That sucks that fil has such low self worth and self awareness.
TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 2 months ago
That’s just fucking gross. I wouldn’t be allowing his nasty ass anywhere near you or your kid.
Mark’s dad is a fucking scumbag.

Gonna save this post in case I ever accidentally ingest a poison and need an emetic handy 🤮🤮
tias@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
I would make quadruple sure that Mark has no traces of that part of the gene pool
Walk_blesseD@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Yeah this is one that I’m sure Mark and his mother would like to see.

Look man, if I wanted radiation poisoning, I’d just go hop in a nuclear reactor.

Damn. This is the kind of thing that can destroy not one, but two marriages and instantly breaks trust of a relationship. There is absolutely nothing to be gained by attempting this. Weirdo.
