My husband works freelance, so he doesn't really make many friends at work.
When DH first met this man I thought it was great this guy wanted to befriend him, they'd had lunch a few times at work- usually at the pub.
DH mentioned he liked a drink- we're virtually teetotal so maybe this seems excessive when it's normal kind of drinking!
One day I met DH for lunch as I was in the area, we went to the pub. New friend was there, oh join us I say! So man downs three pints but orders no food, starts taking off our plates, no problem sharing, then he starts talking about "oh you're so young" "at your age I'd been in prison for 8 years".... Meeting him didn't leave a good impression.
Next thing he's doing some private work, the next day when he's not been paid he's talking about smashing people's heads in.
At that point I said to DH I don't particularly like this man, and please don't ever invite him to our house. DH has pulled away, partially because he's changed jobs, but he's had a few messages where this guy's begging for work and getting aggressive because it's DHs problem he hasn't sorted out a job for him.
Today DD who is nine has been playing on DHs phone, when WhatsApp beeps.
DH quickly took the phone off her. We get home and he starts telling me about the videos this man has been sending him.
Lots of racist videos, lots of videos which start off normal that suddenly turn into porn, one of a man who jumped to his death out of a window, another which was today's which hasn't been opened but is of a woman fingering herself.
I'm pissed off DH hasn't given him a mouth full and blocked him, but he is worried that if he does, it may have an effect in the long term, he's known to be a fairly aggressive sort of bloke and DH doesn't know how to deal with that... And hes worried if he does get into a confrontation, what if they end up working together again in the future?
