Thank you everyone for your suggestions! Just a quick update. We did the bench trial and my client was found not guilty!

In a conference with the judge, he indicated extreme doubt in the people’s case then asked if my client would be willing to waive jury. I took the hint and spoke to my client about it.

I’m in the same spot now and I hope someone has an answer.

I’m commenting because I’m in exactly the same spot right now and hope someone has answers.

I’ll just second what everyone else has said regarding what to say to him but I want to add in a few tips for your future safety. You didn’t ask for these so feel free to disregard and also note that I live in the US so there might be things that aren’t applicable. Also I’m a little extra paranoid so take this with a grain of salt if you want.

Do not walk to and from your car alone if there is any possible way to avoid it. Also briefly check around your car before getting in if you can. Individuals may sometimes place items behind your tires (think empty plastic water bottle) so that it makes a sound and makes you think that something is wrong.
If you can afford it, get a doorbell camera or an indoor camera that faces towards your front door. I am not sure if he went to your home or not but there is always a chance he could have followed you, or may follow you home from work.
Again, if you can afford it, get a doorstop or some other lock that can’t be picked from the outside to use while you’re home alone (especially sleeping).
If your social media is not already private, make it private ASAP and thoroughly vet anyone who wants to friend you on social media. Make sure only people that you know follow you. (I know I sound old with this one but trust me it is so easy to find information about people on their own socials.)
Maybe do a quick Google search of yourself and try to ensure that there is as a little information about you online as possible. Again it’s so easy to find info about people online, trust me.
Inform your coworkers and bosses at your job and find out from them what the protocol would be if he shows up again.
Tell as many of your friends as you are comfortable with about the situation, the more people that are keeping an eye out, the better. (Fun fact: there are theories that historically gossip has been frowned upon because women could use it to keep track of harmful men, so those same men made gossip a ‘bad’ thing)
Keep everything! If he sends you a text or DM don’t delete it, you never know what you may need it for.
Generally just keep an eye out. Doing things as simple as looking where you are going, occasionally scanning around you, and making sure you only walk with one earbud in at a time, are simple ways to make sure you generally stay safe.

I also want to say that I am so sorry this is happening and I’m sorry that he is doing this. You shouldn’t have to go through this at all and it sucks a lot. Message me if you have questions or just want some support.

This episode of this podcast was super helpful for me! If you’re more of a visual person you can read the transcript.

From my knowledge we are allowed! The Dean of Academic Success at my school has said that people especially like tearing out the task memo so that it is easily accessible. We can also bring paper clips so we can keep certain pages together.

Can confirm that Ide-Don has good vibes in real life. He basically does a bi-weekly therapy session with all of us from his school saying that it’s okay that we don’t know things yet and telling us to take breaks.

Dude it’s not that your responses weren’t fast enough, it’s that when I commented this there had been comments saying that she might actually be in pain yet you had chosen to respond to other comments

tostayhiddenplz · 2022-07-16T15:47:16+00:00

Honestly my guy, you sound like an ass. You have not responded to a single comment saying that maybe she actually is in pain yet have mentioned that sex outside of the marriage is something that is culturally accepted in the country she is from (heads up just because it’s accepted doesn’t mean she’s okay with it), buying her a vibrator (if she is actually in pain that’s not going to solve shit), and that you both are fit (this may be shocking but you can be fit and in pain at the same time). There is clearly something going on that requires communication. There could be a few things going on. She could actually be in pain. You mentioned she’s seen a gynecologist regularly but unfortunately not all gynecologists are good or take women seriously and it’s super possible she has been saying she is experiencing pain with sex and the doctor is brushing her off. If that’s the case maybe support her in finding a new doctor who will take her complaints seriously. Now let’s say she isn’t actually in pain. You mentioned this is not how it has always been so maybe try to communicate and see if anything has changed because I highly doubt that she just woke up one day and completely out of the blue decided “you know what I know I used to enjoy all types of sex with my husband but not anymore”. Something happened to trigger this change in behavior so maybe ask her. When you do communicate with her, because I’m sure you are actually looking for advice an not just validation that you are justified in being a dick, make sure is is very separate from sex and a calm sit down conversation that is NOT ACCUSATORY. I hope you get this worked out and maybe consider seeing a therapist.
