To be worried about this?

Basically DHs phone kept going off and I asked who it was. It turns out it's a guy who's threatening him over some work DH did ages ago saying DH didn't finish the job.

DH is adamant he finished the job as specified and this person wanted more doing afterwards and DH said he didn't have capacity to take on the additional work. DH is self employed and is really highly rated for the work he does so I've no reason to doubt what he's saying.

Anyway, this guy is sending him some really horrid messages. Threatening to turn up at his work and 'bring people' and other stuff.

DH just says he's just mouthing off and he'll continue to ignore it until he goes away.

I'm really worried though, I have anxiety as it is, I was really bad with it at one stage and was on medication and was undergoing counselling to get it under control. This has triggered it again and I'm currently pregnant which has also heightened my anxiety.

AIBU to push him to ring the police about this if it doesn't stop? This person is actually threatening to bring people to my husband's work, and to me that's a hint at violence.

I'd be worried about that, too.

Did the guy pay for the job that was done?

Yes.

According to DH, he paid for the job and then asked afterwards if H could do some more bits for him. DH said no sorry as he didn't have the capacity to give anymore time to more work.

Apparently if someone else does it, it won't 'fit' with the work DH has done so it has to be him. DHs argument is he didn't ask for Y or Z to be done, only X which H did and now he doesn't have the time to do Y or Z right now.

Anyone who threatens him should be reported to the police. If all of this is in writing your husband should just go to the police and show them his phone and explain the situation. I doubt it's the first time that man has come to their attention.

I wish he would but he's saying he doesn't want to Angry I'm going to be really worried now when he goes to work tomorrow.

Did anything happen today, OP?

@PollyHasAPocket hope everything is ok.
