[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve reread and I think it’s understandable that OP would ask in-laws for a heads up so they could avoid the other family for the other family’s benefit. Better to not attend if it makes the non-sexual predator uncomfortable, understandably. I think that’s the least OP can do, to steer DH away from attending these events. Not sure if this is OP’s mindset given the rest of the info that seems to excuse DH, but if it is, then it’s a good idea. [/quote]

But do you think that, after already appearing at a family TG and the relative being there, OP should have confronted the hosts about it without first talking to her DH to get his view?[/quote]

Again you use the word "confronted," and again that's not what OP said she did. Again, OP wrote, "I brought this up to my in-laws and told them specifically that if if this cousin was ever invited to another family function to tell us so we could make other plans...."

We don't know why OP didn't ask her husband. Maybe OP doesn't trust her husband's social IQ on this and wants to spare everybody involved. Who knows.[/quote]

Sub “confronted” with “brought it up.” Same question.[/quote]
