How do I deal with this person?


My husband is in a position where he is looked up to and has to give advice - he is kind of like a spiritual mentor. People come to him all the time for advice and me being his wife they occasionally come to me too and look up to me as well. I don't mind the people coming to him, it is part of his job, but there is one individual that really bothers me and I'm not sure how to handle the situation. This person (yes it is a young single female) is constantly coming to him for not only advice but she treats him as if he is her best friend or something. She contacts him outside by constantly emailing him, texting him - even while he's at work, she calls him at home and is always wanting to know if they can have "private" conversations so that he can "give her advice." I understand that this is part of his calling in life but I think that she has taken this too far. I feel like she has a school girl type crush on him and has this constant need to be in contact with him.

...continuing.
Now here is the part that really bothers me. This girl and I used to be friends about a year ago and we were pretty close. We would chat online a lot and go places together. Then while we were chatting online she would just quit talking to me if she saw my husband come online too. Then after the the text messages started and then the phone calls. A few times we would be together and she would ask my husband if she could talk to him in private for advice and then if I would come back where they were she would give my husband this look and then say something like "nevermind, we can talk about it later, I'll call you." I don't think this is appropriate behavior between a married man and a single girl. My husband does not encourage her but we don't know how to handle her. He is in a position that he really can't turn her away but at the same time we just don't know what to say to her to make her understand that this is just not appropriate.

This girl had taken full advantage of your friendship!! This is absolutly ridiculous. I think that is sounds like she is trying to get under your skin and I wouldn't doubt that she is waiting for a reaction out of you and I would give her one. I would tell her that work is work and home life is home life and that your husband deals with work on the job as most people do, not while eating dinner with his wife of nine years and his children(if there are any).I would also tell her that you are offended by her behavior and that any woman in your position would be. She is lucky that you have enough dignity to not snap the hell out on her. Mention something like there is nothing personal that needs to be discussed between yourself and my husband, it may be WORK RELATED but personal is not the way to word it. I would most definatly let her know that the calls at home. texting and the e-mailing must stop. She is putting your husband in a position to where he may possibly be violating work rules because he is not on the job and he is dealing with "clients" outside of the work place. You as a wife have every right to tell her to stop calling YOUR home and to only contact your husband on the job to discuss work related things. She may see it as something personal but I don't think its personal on your husbands part. It's his job. Good luck on getting the little girl under control and i wish you and your husband a longer happier future.

he ain't dumb after she approached him to talk in private so many times he had to say remember i am married or go talk to another female and not me ...email, text messages, etc....strange....at work,at home sounds like the movie the crush...if she is a minor tell her parents if adult sit her in front of both of u tell her to leave u alone u have to tell her don't put it off or ignore her this will not go away....

You're probably right. The next question is, do you trust your husband not to take advantage of the situation? If so, then not a bother.

However, for his reputation, it is probably better that he meets this woman in a public area where there are witnesses, failing that he only meets her in a room with some kind of visual recording device. Just in case she decides to declare her love for her and throw herself at him, and then when he refuses tries to turn the tables by saying he came onto her. They do this, these nutters, use sex as a weapon in this manner. Very upsetting for everyone involved, and so easy to disprove if you are aware that it might happen.
