Harrasment

[Alyson Lyod]

What is the name of your state? DE

I am married for last 10 years and have two kids. There was a family ( husband,wife , two kids ) lives opposite my home. We have very good relations with this family. Six months ago, I found out that husband is talking too much with my wife and we broke all relations with this family.

This guy is now sending e-mail to my wife using some alias name ( similar to close friend of my wife ). I talked to this guy and his wife about this e-mail and they told me that had never send any e-mail. Even this guy play so nice with me and open a case with yahoo to track the source of this e-mail. He requested me to send e-mail headers.

I track this e-mail by putting e-mail headers and it became clear to me that one e-mail has come from his office and other from his home. Cornered, this guy did not agree. However after 24 hours this guy agreed that he has sent e-mail and apologized.

Questions

How can make sure that this guy does not send any e-mail/phone calls to my wife ?

Can I complain to police ?

Thanks,

A Lyod

You need to see a marriage counsellor. Your neighbor believes that your wife is interested in pursuing a relationship with him that you initially didn't know about and that he now wants to keep secret by using fake email addresses.

Wake up and smell the coffee. You're jealous, and it appears that you have reason to be.

Thanks for your reply, There should be some way to control. Today he is sending e-mail, tommorrow he will do something else and again apologized. I need to send him message that this is not taken lightly by us. I was searching on the internet and come to know that we can get some kind of restraint order from the court. I can also complain to the police. This guy is using a similar name like my wife close friend as an e-mail alias.

Please note that I am immigrant in this country and this kind of e-mail is very offensive as far as our culture is concerned. Please note that for last six months, we have ZERO relations with this family.



Q: Can I complain to police ?

A: About what?

If I can't complain to police. There should be some legal means to constraint this person. You are one of senior members of this forum, Please suggest.

Thanks for your reply. I 100% believe in my wife. We have a very strong relationship. I do not know what is in mind of this guy ?

We have zero relations with their family for last six months. Please note that I am immigrant in this country and this kind of e-mail is very offensive. There should be some legal means to make sure that this does not happen again.

Your wife is an adult. If she wants him NOT to contact her then SHE can refuse to answer any contacts after telling him not to contact her. If you don't want to deal with it, divorce your wife. Because since the contacts are to her you do NOT control it.

My wife and me have clearly told this person do not contact us. We do not talk to each other for last 6 months. Now, this person has sent e-mail from a e-mail address ( this e-mail address look like very similar to my wife close friend ). From e-mail headers, I found out that this e-mail came from this person home. Initially, this person did not agree that he has send this e-mail. After 2 days, he agreed and apologized.

My concern is that I want to bring it to notice of either police or court so that this does not happen in future. My question is Can I do that ??

Thanks a lot

Honestly, you will get no satisfaction if you pursue this course.

You would be better off to configure your email application either to block receipt of emails from those addresses or to route them directly to your Deleted folder.
