Weird letter received

[Thegirlthatwanted2begod]

DH received this letter in the post today in a used NHS envelope that was stuck down with sellotape. Both of us are stumped to why it's been sent as I've googled and Mankind doesn't look to be part of NHS and the number is correct but the message on the letter has freaked us out,

has anyone ever had anything similar to this?

@Charmtaste no definitely not, only 3 flats and my DH is the only one with the surname on the letter, (communal hall so we see the other flats post)

01823 is Taunton, not Brighton.

It's a genuine number I googled it

Has he upset someone? Maybe it is someone trying to cause trouble for him.

@thebattleofschrutefarms

I see your point and whilst it may be too much for some, we've always been the same way, his friends are my friends for example so we meet in groups/couples, he is free to go out and do what he wants, same as me, we've been on holidays without each other with friends or nights out etc it's just we've obviously spent a lot of time together this last 18 months and we like going out together!!

I'd be getting a camera on my door, sharp. Then, if they do it again, you'll see them, and have them on film so that when you report them you can show them to the police.

It's unsettling. You could speak to the police anyway - it might be part of something wider. You know, you'd feel different about it if every man in town had been sent one, wouldn't you?

I believe that it is one of the flat mates. No stamp, used envelope. Would know name from post.

Are there any you have fallen out with, or single women with eyes on DP?

I think it sounds like a fixated person. ( someone with a psychiatric condition) - I think as a PP said the envelope would be from a NHS re psychiatric services. Sadly some people who are ill imagine they’re in a relationship with a person and the only thing preventing them being together is the “ evil” aka violent wife. People imagine they’re members of the Royal family etc. This person may have only encountered your DH casually through work or has seen him in the neighbourhood- there doesn’t need to be significant contact. I’d be alert to people hanging around and further attempts to contact him.

How have you not rung the number OP?! I have no impulse control of have rung the fuck out of that number by now 😂

And yes, this is all very odd ..

It is the charity number on the website

This bit - Leave ur abuser and come back 2 me xx - is really quite peculiar and disturbing isn't it?

Why are people still saying this. It’s a legit telephone no of a charity for men, who are victims of abuse.

@chickenyhead

Unlikely, ground floor flat is a young gay couple, middle flat is a husband and wife with a toddler

I don't think it's anyone from his work and it certainly wouldn't be anyone in our friend group.

Not drip feeding but another thing that was weird on the address was it was almost like abbreviated so looked like

Mr Surname
House no and road name but abbreviated to Ave instead of avenue for example
Town name but full town name instead of the shortened version everyone uses
County think Great Manc instead of Greater Manchester for example
Postcode

The letter is just a copied link and a phone number.

It's all just weird!

A DV agency wouldn’t EVER send a letter to someone who was in an abusive relationship unless they knew it was safe to do so. Imagine the consequences if the abuser opened the post. It seems to me like someone with delusional thoughts, thinking that they’re in a relationship with your partner. I’d get a camera on door too.

I think they've used that envelope so they don't have to pay for postage. They are prepaid envelopes.

That's really weird and quite creepy.

It is strange.
Has someone posted it through your letterbox or a shared letter box with the other flats?
Did the postman post it with other post?

Is he a teacher? Is it from a crazed pupil?

I agree with a pp that it's someone you know not DH and it's someone who doesnt know his name.

It's a psycho neighbour who only knows his surname (from your doorbell?) and has a thing for him. Ignore, but if he gets anything else, ask police for advice.

@imacuddler shared letter box communal hallway, he thought it was his prepaid prescription certificate before he opened it 🤣

@HugeBowlofChips no he's NHS

I would consider that my partner may have had an affair and told his affair partner that he was in an abusive relationship, then got cold feet and left them.

It is, to be honest, the only explanation apart from a seriously mentally ill person targeting your partner. But this is much less likely than someone having an affair.

It may be nothing but this would be my first suspicion and I would have to discount it before moving on.

That's very weird but people ARE weird. I'd second getting a door camera thing, and I'm not usually paranoid!
