[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't live where you do, but I have had one run in with an adult mean girl and the worst thing about it is that her husband, who I never even met, made it his mission in life to destroy my reputation. He talked so much $hit about be to my colleagues (this mean girl was a coworker) and friends, it was scary. Again, never had a conversation with this guy. And the worst part was that even the people who knew he'd waaaaay crossed a line and that the things he was saying about me were untrue, would say "well, he's just being a loyal husband, you have to give him props for that." No I don't! His wife disliked me because early on in our friendship I discovered she was gossiping about me behind my back and I chose to cool off our friendship after that. She decided she hated me and then communicated that to him when they met, and he really ran with it.

[b]He was/is a kind of dominating type in general -- tall, lawyer, prep schools and Ivy League, used to getting his way. [/b]It was honestly scary to be on the receiving end of his behavior, especially since there was no real way to defend myself to him as I have no relationship with him. At one point my DH and I actually spoke to a lawyer about getting a restraining order against him but there was no feasible way to do it -- he's allowed to talk about me, even allowed to lie about me, as long as he doesn't actually physically touch me.

Thinking about it stresses me out. Men like this are scary.[/quote]

You better be very careful PP. Very careful. You don't really know who your bully knows, given the connections he's built through law and elite schools. He is just the type who can bring down heaven and earth on you and, especially, your children without any fingerprints whatsoever. A fraternity brother happens to be a supervisory AUSA. His sister's best friend is good friends with your elementary school's principal. His golfing partner runs the travel team your kid is trying to join.

For all you know, your own lawyer depends on your bully for referrals, so he would talk you down from a complaint and then report back to him, ethical obligations being irrelevant.

Be very, very careful. Some people are bulletproof and above the law. Those people have the credentials you just described for your bully.[/quote]
