| I am curious. An acquaintance is a lawmaker in a different part of the country and sexually harassed one of his staffers at an after-work get together at a bar. He was drunk and repeatedly asked this young female staffer to go back to his hotel room with her and said he’d follow her home. It was a very public incident. Would you leave or stay? |
| Leave. Sexually harassing and threatening a person is very much not OK. |
| I'd separate, and see if he'd get help for his drinking, publicly apologize to her and to the public, etc. If he would, then we MIGHT reconcile. Otherwise, divorce. |
|
Who’s “you”?
Are you the staffer, or the lawmakers wife? |
You as in people responding. No, I’m neither. I’m just curious. |
|
Make him apologize by buying me something very expensive. He'd be unlikely to do it again. Make sure it's at a price point that it will be a stretch for him.
Then, wear it all the time. |
| My DH did something similar but the staffer went back to his hotel room. He said they were both so drunk they just passed out but even so, I think it’s not ok. |
The idea is that he'll hesitate in the future because he won't want to have to splash out again. Sometimes men love their wives, but think with their penis. This is a good way to give him some motivation to stay away. The trick is not to hold onto resentment. And make sure the thing you pick out is at a price point that you can think to yourself, he wouldn't be able to spend this money on anyone else. |
| Ewwww I’d out him to the media and then run for his seat. |
Hahahahaha sure Jan |
|
Try to get another job as quickly as possible.

Leave
Shows very poor character If he would do this, he’s probably doing other illegal things and I wouldn’t want to be legally tied to him |
| Make him go to AA. If he doesn't stop drinking, leave him. The humiliation will be huge when the shit hits the fan, since he is in public office and will be torn apart in public. |
HAHAHAHAHA. I know someone who has a closet FULL of Louboutins, high end bags, and glitzy high end enormous diamonds by this method. Now, whenever I see any of those, all I can think is that their DH is a dog. |
Of course you are. |
