If your boyfriend has asked a coworker to step back and keep it professional and the coworker tries but relapses, what is the next step other than mentioning the boundaries again the second time she messes up and threatening to report/transfer the third time she messes up?
My boyfriend feels that his coworker is starting to get too personal. She provides personal details about her life and her desire to have girl with girl sex adventures (her cause). When talking about her desire, she mentions other bisexual female coworkers he works with who tried to go there with her. Also, she challenges him not to take me for granted, but she also wasn't fully honest if she mentioned what my boyfriend does or say at work, which caused problems between my boyfriend and I for a week. Last night between 9 - 12 am, I got text messages from her that went from a hypothetical situation of if i liked you would you tell your bf and ended up being yes i think you're attractive and don't let it affect our friendship and i will complete my cause with or without you.
Apparently she's not listening to my boyfriend and I feel it's time for me to step in because this has nothing to do with work. A few things she mentioned in her texts bother me. I am "the one for her" because I'm a girl who isn't "wild, doesn't sleep with too many people, doesn't have sores on my mouth like her coworker which turned her off, and because she knows me." Right now, I hate being responsible and a moral safety net with my boyfriend and she's just throwing it back in my face that I'll end up being like her 25 years down the road, unhappy and wanting sex opportunities with someone else other than my future hubby.
I told my boyfriend not to speak to her about it and she sent another text message apologizing for her outburst, but I know it needs to be addressed, I'm not sure how to go about it. Does anyone know confrontation etiquette with a bf's coworker? What form of communication (face to face? Text? Lunch?) heheh lunch! Anyway.. need some help thank you!
