Call his wife and let her know that her husband harassed your wife. Let her take it from there.

Do what feels right. Systematic Chaos Sep 2012 #1
I know what would feel right damnedifIknow Sep 2012 #3
3 questions undeterred Sep 2012 #2
You bet she's upset damnedifIknow Sep 2012 #6
Awkward but I don't feel like it's assault bigwillq Sep 2012 #4
I'm not a troll if that's what you're getting at. damnedifIknow Sep 2012 #8
Didn't say you were bigwillq Sep 2012 #14
If it's unwelcome, it's assault. Period. lastlib Sep 2012 #40
Then lots and lots of assaults go on at the gay bar. bigwillq Sep 2012 #44
I'd have to take someone's word for it...... lastlib Sep 2012 #55
Wow. Really? bigwillq Sep 2012 #59
So this guy's life should be ruined forever because he tried to give a birthday kiss? blueamy66 Sep 2012 #76
How does your wife feel about it? CaliforniaPeggy Sep 2012 #5
No it's not assault. RiffRandell Sep 2012 #7
So anyone can just go up to anyone damnedifIknow Sep 2012 #9
I'm no shrink, but if she is so traumatized RiffRandell Sep 2012 #10
No, I can tell damnedifIknow Sep 2012 #11
No, they can't... pipi_k Sep 2012 #32
Yes it is assault. DELIBERATE unwelcome contact is assault. /nt TheMadMonk Sep 2012 #12
Dude, assault is not contact, but contact might be battery... yawnmaster Sep 2012 #57
No its 'battery,' and same if you beat the guy's ass. elleng Sep 2012 #17
That would be battery. lastlib Sep 2012 #41
At Common Law, assault is elleng Sep 2012 #13
Yes he touched her. damnedifIknow Sep 2012 #22
Not official legal advice. elleng Sep 2012 #24
I'd suggest initially giving him the benefit of the doubt. Your wife might go to him and say nolabear Sep 2012 #15
Yes sorry to post this. damnedifIknow Sep 2012 #23
Get rid of the phrase "that kiss made me uncomfortable"....change it to read, mrmpa Sep 2012 #46
But that's totally different. That assumes he was intentionally offensive. That's for Step 2. nolabear Sep 2012 #51
To me it doesn't matter what the intent was.........it was wrong & he. mrmpa Sep 2012 #67
she should have just knee'd him in the nuts.. HipChick Sep 2012 #16
hee Kali Sep 2012 #66
How did he know it emilyg Sep 2012 #18
First of all thanks all for the advice damnedifIknow Sep 2012 #20
they weren't giving you advice CreekDog Sep 2012 #25
That was a generic "thanks" from the op emilyg Sep 2012 #35
No, your screen name is similar to the person who actually gave advice CreekDog Sep 2012 #37
Gee - you think this is emilyg Sep 2012 #38
Some quiete words with this guy - telling him emilyg Sep 2012 #39
Follow up with the gym to see what they do. mykpart Sep 2012 #19
I've calmed down enough damnedifIknow Sep 2012 #21
It sounds like the guy, at minimum, owes avebury Sep 2012 #26
I will post the outcome. damnedifIknow Sep 2012 #30
Oh, good idea. Baitball Blogger Sep 2012 #29
I would have a heart to heart talk with this man .... face to face. dawg Sep 2012 #27
I plan on it. damnedifIknow Sep 2012 #31
I think people should pipi_k Sep 2012 #33
Give him a kiss yourself in return Major Nikon Sep 2012 #34
Over the top. Baitball Blogger Sep 2012 #28
I suspect this is a European/Canadian practice that is working its way in from the coasts. hedgehog Sep 2012 #36
So I decked him. damnedifIknow Sep 2012 #42
Disappointing that the guy is still allowed in the gym. mykpart Sep 2012 #47
I bet anything you're right about that, raccoon Sep 2012 #54
Is the guy married? Teamster Jeff Sep 2012 #43

Did your wife handle it OK? lunatica Sep 2012 #48
It's the point. damnedifIknow Sep 2012 #49
I think gyms pipi_k Sep 2012 #50
Especially damnedifIknow Sep 2012 #52
seriously - how does it matter how she dresses? nadine_mn Sep 2012 #58
It doesn't matter how she dresses. damnedifIknow Sep 2012 #61
I would have shoved him ismnotwasm Sep 2012 #53
My wife was too stunned damnedifIknow Sep 2012 #56
With all DU respect Special Prosciuto Sep 2012 #60
I already explained damnedifIknow Sep 2012 #63
Why is it "president of a company" rather than "a guy at the gym"? pa28 Sep 2012 #62
Nothing missing at all. damnedifIknow Sep 2012 #64
In a nutshell. damnedifIknow Sep 2012 #65

Okay thanks damnedifIknow Sep 2012 #70
great Corgigal Sep 2012 #71
I'm willing to bet it will be a non-apology TrogL Sep 2012 #72
I agree. damnedifIknow Sep 2012 #74
if this goes legal, you may want admin to take down this thread TrogL Sep 2012 #75
This bizarre behavior may be a "testing" for more to come. I think you are right to take appropriate mother earth Sep 2012 #69
