[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the fact that you said nothing is OK, if it was just a one-time thing, but if you let it go now, you can't refer to it in the future if she snoops again--it will seem like you are making it up.

I would email her or text her--so that there is a record--and say, "Linda, I didn't say anything the other day, because I was caught off guard and uncomfortable. But I need you to know that I did not appreciate you going through my purse without permission--it was a violation of my privacy. Did you need something? I won't mention this to anyone else, but I would like an apology from you."

Get a record of the incident. Even if she doesn't respond, it's in your sent mail. No response would prove she did do it, because why wouldn't she dispute it if it wasn't true?[/quote]

I wouldn't advise putting this in writing. She can then forward it to your DH and anyone else who is "on her side" and say she was only moving your purse and you overreacted/always think the worst, etc.  You know and she knows what she did. Keep your purse in your room. She probably was looking for something to criticize you to DH or others about since it seems to be the dynamic at play here. [/quote]
