What would you call this? Sexual harassment? (TW)

[bewildered1023]

Relative texted me tonight asking me to tell them graphic details about my sex life (ie how often and who with) .

Said they thought I’d find it funny and that it’s perfectly harmless and normal .

I’m not laughing . I’ve only met them a handful of times and definitely don’t want to be discussing my sex life with them .

I’m a bit shaken up and don’t know what to do next . I don’t know if I should pretend it never happened or what .

Text them back 'fuck off you disgusting pervert' then block them

I'd screenshot it, block them and then avoid them. It's horrible but "harassment" suggests more than one incident. Don't give them any leeway to contact you again.

I would call it highly inappropriate

I would save the message somewhere, tell family members and block/ignore the person

If you’ve only met them a handful of times so have no close relationship I’d just tell them to piss off and block them.

Very bizarre thing to do, could the message have been sent by mistake and intended for someone else? Not that it would excuse it, but just seems such a weird thing to send!

Definitely meant for me .

Apparently it was a joke .

They’re close in terms of biological relationship to me but not emotionally close at all . I don’t want to state the relationship on here in case its recognisable .

I’m gutted, I was starting to trust them .

I’m scared of The consequences if I cut all contact .

I think that I might call 101 to ask their advice. What a shocking and unpleasant thing to happen OP, I'm so sorry. Have some hot, sweet tea or stronger for the shock and then please do something to protect yourself. His behaviour is disgusting and despicable.

Tempting to text back “In a relationship with a 6ft 4in army PT instructor, who would like to meet you outside to sort out your sense of humour.”

Any consequences to this are on them, not you.

I'd screenshot them all, then block.

They sound sad and pathetic and I'm sure they will add nothing positive to your life.

I'm not surprised you're shaken, it's rude and intrusive and horribly inappropriate. Block them.

If you’ve only met them a handful of times how could there be any consequences from cutting contact?

It’s my dad .

He has a very good relationship with my siblings (four of us) and I feel uncomfortable talking to them .

I’m totally shocked and very upset .

Why would he do this?

Just no, this is not harmless, normal or funny whatsoever it’s bizarre and disgusting- if you barely see him anyway I’d just cut contact, set your boundaries at this point
