Anonymous valentines card from a woman in my street

[TheReaderIs]

I’ve just received an anonymous valentines card from a woman in my street. The card had a stamp on it and it said “The woman within” and my address! The card mentions her seeing me walking to my bus and how she waits for her husband and kids to go out and…well! She says she’s bisexual and she goes into detail about what she wants to do to me…omg!

The card was posted first class, why pay for a stamp lol. Could this be a hoax? It was quite specific about seeing me walking to my bus.

I’m separated from my ex - could it be him or his family playing a prank? Or do I have a randy, bisexual neighbour??

I dunno what to think! 🙈

I'd say a man wrote that.

I agree with pp, that's more threatening than harmless, and is probably your Ex or his pub mate.

Edit - didn't see your last post. It's 100% your Ex.

true.

Of course it's a hoax - someone obviously trying to stir up trouble.

She's not going to go to all the trouble of making herself anonymous and then telling you all about herself!

Just bin it and don't react, otherwise the shit stirrer will get exactly what they want.

Probably your ex (esp given your update!), but a small possibility it could be this woman's husband.

How weird! Sounds like your ex (BORING) but I'd be keeping an eye out for any lingering glances from the lady in No. 37....

I have a big crush on a woman neighbour. DH and I refer to her as "my girlfriend".

This is the start of a "gripping psychological thriller" (probably) coming soon to Netflix. Spoiler-there is no lustful bisexual stalker-its a bloke.
Im putting five bob on it being ex or batshit family. Hang on to it, in case there's any more.

I'm voting with the 'That's from a man, almost certainly your ex' camp.

Didn’t want to risk being caught putting it the letterbox ?

If OP has a ring doorbell, this may be a reason or they just worried about OP witnessing them post it?

It’s kind of odd behaviour. Whoever it is should have closed their phone number at least and I would be curious enough to message personally.

I would be astonished if it was anyone other than your ex given the context, the style of card (really does not strike as the choice of card for a woman to send another woman) and the explicit prose (again, much more of a man thing). I'm sure you are lovely OP and lots of men and women would fancy you but this time it's far more likely to be your stupid ex stirring up trouble or trying to make you uneasy.

Do you have a new partner? I'm wondering if this is a crass way for your ex to try and put the cat among the pigeons.

On a lighter note I have seen a spoof lurpak advert about valentines day/knob of butter. I'll try and find it.

I thought stamps were barcoded now and could be tracked. Worth seeing if the local post office can give you any more info.

Personally I'd speak to her, and ask if she has sent something via the post to your house . If she says no , then say somebody then is trying to make trouble for her or you .
If she says yes then say it is unwelcome ( if it was ) and ask for her not to do it again.
If it happened to me I'd also be telling my dh to tell him hopefully it's nipped in the bud .

I’d just go round with the card, show her and ask if she sent it. If she did, it’s fucking creepy behaviour and needs confronting and calling out- if she didn’t then she deserves to know some other weirdo is sending shit like that on her behalf.

Ah just another creepy aggressive man OP. V likely your inadequate ex. Don't give any reaction but put it in the shed/garage in case relevant for future dealings. 💐

I’d just be flattered 🤷‍♀️
no big deal.
you’re clearly fitter than you thought walking to your bus, OP

No new partner, no. Yes it definitely doesn’t strike me as the type of thing a woman would write but you never know!

I don’t know who sent it 🤷‍♀️

This. I don’t think a woman would talk in a sexual manor to a stranger/neighbour. This card was likely written by a man.

Go round where?

The card is anonymous

Yep - definitely written by a man. And I agree it's hard to figure out who, other than it was a weirdo creepy man - so in which case just bin it and try and remove it from your head space and focus on more important issues such as descaling the kettle or what to cook tonight.

It was clearly the Russians, OP 😂

But seriously, it's almost certainly from a man you know. A knob of butter?! What woman would write in that way, even if she was attracted to you she would express it very differently! Pop it away in a drawer and say nothing about it to anyone, if you receive another or other odd/creepy things in the post then you could turn to the police for help with your suspicions about who it is from.

I'd say it was your ex/his family

Just read this
100% a man.

Fun fact - this could actually be considered a crime under either the Postal Services Act 2000 or the Malicious Communications Act 1988, especially if it's causing 'anxiety or distress'.

Definitely a man. Almost definitely the ex.
