Get his side of the story?

Gruzinkerbell1 · 08/03/2019 18:57

We need more details OP.

In what way is he "harassing" someone?

MIA12 · 08/03/2019 18:57

Are you the woman getting harassed?

Frecklesonmyarm · 08/03/2019 18:57

Get proof off the woman and ask him what's happening. Then make a decision.

@anon. It's not "just that really"! You need to give so much more detail.

anon234355 · 08/03/2019 19:02

Gruzinkerbell1 going to places because he knows she is there, waiting for her outside her workplace, inappropriate comments etc

Divorce him.

slipperywhensparticus · 08/03/2019 19:05

Divorce him

NotStayingIn · 08/03/2019 19:06

Sorry my first answer was flippant. Still not enough info to give a good answer really. ‘Some woman’ sounds a bit dismissive by the way. If she is a victim in all this I would have sympathy with her for starters.

category12 · 08/03/2019 19:07

If he's doing that, then yes, divorce.

anon234355 · 08/03/2019 19:07

don't really want to go into much detail, but think this point it's important, so I will ask the question again. What would you do if your husband was harassing your sister?

I'd probably turn up at the same place, and hand him a bin bag full of his pants.

SuperLoudPoppingAction · 08/03/2019 19:08

If I knew her I would ask if she wanted me to be a witness in a police investigation.
And obviously get rid of him

I know of a couple where this happened.
They and their group of friends blamed the stalkee for tempting the stalker. Vile

Kaddm · 08/03/2019 19:08

The sister should report to the police.

Birdie6 · 08/03/2019 19:08

Are you the wife or the woman who is being harrassed ? He is a stalker - report him or divorce him. Or both.

sackrifice · 08/03/2019 19:08

sister? so not 'some woman' then?

Aquamarine1029 · 08/03/2019 19:09

going to places because he knows she is there, waiting for her outside her workplace, inappropriate comments etc

Is your husband actually doing this? If so, he's a stalker, fgs. He would be out of the house before he knew what hit him.

slipperywhensparticus · 08/03/2019 19:09

Still divorce him

SuperLoudPoppingAction · 08/03/2019 19:09

Cross post.
Same but I would obviously be supportive of my sister

BricksInTheWall · 08/03/2019 19:10

My sister, or any woman, I would report him to the Police and divorce the creep.

RoxieHeart · 08/03/2019 19:10

If he is your husband, divorce
If you're the sister, go to the police.

StephsCaddy · 08/03/2019 19:11

It makes it worse that it’s your sister. I’d divorce him.

FineWordsForAPorcupine · 08/03/2019 19:15

I'd end the relationship. I don't think there would be any point in trying to fix this weird, creepy bloke who is behaving like this.

If I thought there were magic words I could say to turn this DH from a stalker into a healthy person with normal boundaries, then believe me, I would let you know what they were. But there really aren't.

anon234355 · 08/03/2019 19:17

ok so I'm the one who WAS being harassed, I say was because I recently told my sister what was happening and told her I wanted him far away from me and for him to stop harassing me and I haven't seen him since. My sister isn't talking to me now and I'm confused, it's like she is blaming me. I thought a lot before contacting her, but I was becoming really anxious and felt very uncomfortable around him.

Like I said, I've seen this happen where the victim is blamed.
It's horrible.
Don't let it stop you reporting it.
We believe you.
It's criminal behaviour.
