  • Ps. the thought of it all still gives me the shudders, and I too felt guilty for a while, (did he really deserve it?) but I dont feel guilty about the repercussions on him AT ALL NOW, and yes he REALLY DID DESERVE EVERYTHING HE GOT!

    So DO NOT feel guilty lass. This really ISNT anything to do with you personally - he would have found some other way somehow sometime to act "darn stupid" in one way or another.


    Very true & quite a wise thing to come out with. Probably the best words on here.

    I disagree with one part of your post that you added on an edit but this is neither the time or the place.

    Yep - good luck from me as well.

    Deep breaths - and any Rescue Remedy you have. Best foot forward and slap a "neutral" look on your face.

    Take care.

    Wishing you strength to get through today. Sticking like glue to those that will understand and take care of you is a great idea.

    I know you are feeling sick but I suspect that you would be even if you hadn't reported him IYSWIM, and it would probably have gone on for longer as you waited to see what he would do next.

    Head down, deep breaths and get through the day as best you can.

    Just wanted to stop by and say good luck for today! You've done the absolutely right thing, so dont feel a shred of guilt about this - we are all behind you in this!

    Good luck - i was a 16 year old starting a new job, 26 years ago, and one of the bosses used to press himself up against me, i was too scared to say anything then. I'm glad you did though (I would say something now)!! if this man at your office started with flashing, it could finish by raping someone, they get more confidence of what they can get away with. thinking of you.

    I'm in work, so is he. I'm waiting for someone from HR to speak to me....this is horrific.
