I've known my best friend for about 20 years, so I know her brother quite well too. He's recently split up with his second wife, & while he was still with her he basically tried to encourage me to have a fling with him (in a joking manner, but you know - I think he would've done it if I'd agreed), but I just shrugged him off and treated it as a joke. I let him know - nicely - that I wouldn't do something like that, but that I still valued his friendship. (I'm married with a 6 yr old son by the way).
He's now settled with a new girlfriend & we still exchange the odd funny email and catch up very occasionally in a group situation. Anyway - last night he was sending out emails to a number of people, but one of the attachments contained explicit photos of a naked woman bending over and with her legs apart, etc etc. I was a bit shcoked as my 6 year old is often on our computer playing games & stuff, and he knows how to open our emails as he's done it before. I would've been horrified if my ds had've seen these pictures, so I emailed him back and worded it as NICELY as possible, just saying 'hey sweetie would you mind not including my email address if you're sending out explicit pics, because XXX (my ds) is often on the computer and I would hate him to see them. Thanks a lot, see you soon ' that kind of thing.
Well - he responded with a rather terse sounding email saying 'I didn't mean to offend, I was just sending out a blanket email to everyone.' Then he made a series of sarcastic comments about 'maybe I'd better just send religious stuff to you from now on'. About 10 minutes later he sent me an email with some pictures of Jesus saying, "Maybe this kind of thing is better for you". WHAT THE?? I am just trying to protect my son, what on earth is wrong with that?? I can't believe the response I got from him. I know he's got quite a sarcastic sense of humour but I really felt that he was having a go at me just because I don't want pornographic photos sent to me where my son can see them. Actually I don't want pornographic photos sent to me at all, I thought he would save that kind of thing for his mates!! Surely I did the right thing by asking him to be a bit more discerning.
