Default What would you do in this domestic dispute?
My wife's sister has been married about 25 years, two kids in college. One of her former BFs was a shady character, convicted felon for embezzling funds from a trust, million dollar judgment him for those funds. She accidentally forwarded an e-mail from him to her husband. Nothing incriminating, just another get-rich-quick scheme. Husband recognized his name from the message and confronted her about it.

She used the "He's just a friend--can't I have friends?" defense. He said, "Sure, but not those kind of friends: Felon and embezzler." Husband works for a bank, and they aren't very tolerant about those things. I don't think he believes they are having an affair, he just objects to her being friends with an unsavory character.

I kinda see his point. If former BF is arrested again for something, and the cops go through his computer, the wife of a prominent banker is on his e-mail list, and they want to talk with her. My wife is pissed that I agree with him. Whadda ya think? (Not about my disagreement with my wife--pffft!--but about BIL/SIL.)

We'd really need pics of the wife's sister to give a truly informed opinion.

Still, it's curious that said sister is still on speaking terms with the ex after all this time.

My first thought, too. If it were me, I'd be doing some serious questioning and snooping.

Sleep with dogs and you're gonna get fleas!

I agree with him. She probably shouldn't be having contact with him. Sounds like trouble.

I agree with you.

That's something he could get fired over.

I'm still friends with all but one of my ex-GFs, and all but one of the break-ups were amicable. The exes that I'm friends with are now married, and I'm also friends with their husbands.

It can be done.

ex-boyfriends, Even after 25 years shouldn't be on the friends list.
Ex-con ex-boyfriends really shouldn't be on the friends list.

If I was the husband and my wife didn't understand the consequences that could be incurred to myself I would tell her to GTFO!

Sorry Larry.

She needs to get shut of that character before real issues arise.

I have no idea. She does, however, handle their finances completely, so it's possible. It's not my business, but I really don't know why her husbands puts up with her. One of her typical dinners she makes is cereal.

Yep. He gives her his pay check every month, she pays all the bills. She doesn't work outside the home.

Why does the term "dumbazz" pop in my mind when I read that sentence?

Sorry Larry your wife is way off base here and I bet she knows it but doesn't want to admit it.
