Harassment?

[neesy]

Hi!

Can anybody tell me if I can do anything about the following?

I have been with my partner for 11 years however we split up for a while 2 years ago. During this time he met somebody else (all is fine with me about this, we have talked about it openly). However, we decided to try to work on our relationship as we realised that we still love each other.

He informed the third party who is married and has had relationships outside of her marriage before and she said that she was happy for us.

However, over the past two years she has been sporadically sending letters making threats to my partner. When he asks her to leave us alone she apologises and says she won't do this again. Then so many months later another letter arrives from her. My partner has even told her that I know about her and want this to stop.

At the weekend she resorted to sending a postcard with abuse on the back of it calling him evil, a liar and saying he will not rest etc. etc. She even referred to personal information about me. To me this suggests that she does not believe that I know about her and she has sent this on a postcard to scare my partner (by way of hoping I would pick this up when it was delivered and read it).

As she has been asked many times to stop but will not can I do anything about it? Is this legally classed as harassment? (I think she is a bit of a 'nutter'!)

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Why not bundle all her letters and postcards together and post them through her letterbox!

Maybe the thought of her husband finding them would be enough to stop her.

(Keep a photocopy of the letters just in case as well).

Thank you Sally.

She actually lives in the states and I am in the UK. I could post them to her though.

We have just destroyed her letters in the past but I will keep your advice in mind and keep any future mail from her from now on:-).

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Take care x.

I would have to threaten her that you will inform her husband of her affairs, that will probably be enough to scare her off! I wouldnt read any of her letters either, just keep them as evidence, the silly woman!

Yes, that seems like a good idea.

Thank you:-)
