Feeling off about someone

[Somethingbadwithhim]

I have name changed for this thread.
My DH and our Ds play for a local team in a obscure sport.
They have been with this team for over 50 years for DH and 25 for DS.
All our family are involved somehow and we have made some great friends.
New members are welcome and join a lot over the years.
5 years ago a man joined he came from a different area of the country.
When I first met him I couldn't take to him. I never felt comfortable in his company.
To me he gave off a creepy vibe.
Men and women from the team or their families seem to be ok with him.
Last week he was arrested for sex crimes against children.
Lots of other people are in shock fortunately we don't have any child under 16
which is who the crimes were against.

Have you ever had a bad feeling about someone.

Yes. I think I have a really good sense of judgment with people. . I’m not the brightest button in the box but my instinct is rarely wrong. Always go with your gut and air on the side of caution!

I think most people have at some stage in their lives. As the previous poster said, always go with your gut instinct.

Nope. Two (separate) men in our village were:

a) caught in one of those stings where he was grooming a 13 year old girl online, caught bang to rights, all on video, and

b) was actually convicted of downloading child sex abuse images which we only discovered in court reports

Didn't have an clue, each time

Yes many times. The first was a man my parents befriended who used to give me the creeps. He married another of their friends and abused her to the point she became an alcoholic. I always listen to those feelings now. Another one was my best friend’s dad who was physically abusing the whole family.

Ha- my middle class gran was a fantastic cook and did not a tap of work after my mum was born- I remember though when she hit 65 and had an outburst one day and said 'that's it, I'm done with cooking- it's M&S for me going forward! This was back in the late 70s and that was it - no more homemade meat and potato pies or ginger steamed puddings
