Okay .. I haven't posted for quite some time. And what I am posting today is in regards to a totally different issue .. (then what I have ranted so about so long in my thread above. )

This is something that I know that I responded to 100% appropriately, but it is hanging over my head as far as responsibility in reporting to affected parties.

For the past year or so my B-I-L has been sending me those famous/annoying "forwards" that so many of us get from our email buddies/family. I thought nothing of it .. but did kind of wonder how he got my email address. (My mother gave it to him!??)

All of a sudden these emails began to get more personal .. in that he was telling me what was going on in his life. This guy is married to my sister. (!) The personal emails I never responded to. Well, I didn't respond to him period .. just continued getting those forwards.

Last week I got several text messages on my cell phone and then a couple of emails. He comes right out and tells me how "bad" it is at home for him. He mentions that he "knows" we have been friends for some time and thought that "we could make each other happy." (Obviously there was much more said, but this is the "jist" of all that he said in his emails to me.)

Anyway, I emailed him and told him absolutely not and that he should not try to contact me again .. in any way, shape or form.

I just don't "get" how he thinks he could do this, without destroying his marriage ? ..

I originally thought I had decided that I was not going to say anything to my sister about her husband's proposition to me .. but have since been feeling very bad about this. I am just not sure what to do ..

Sister and B-I-L have just sold their house and are in the process of building new. Their daughter is getting married in October .. I am feeling like it is way too much to be dumping on my dear sister right now.

But then, I think to myself .. I know that I would want to know .. ?

Anyone here have any thoughts about this .. ?
