What do YOU think...?
My brother's wife was apparently being harassed at work by some creepy security guy who took her kindness as a potential sign of something else and eventually got himself out of a job there. Problem is that she never told my brother what was going on, not when it was going on or when it was being resolved or anything. He of course is FURIOUS and says she didn't say anything because a) she liked it b) something besides the harassment was going on or c) she wanted a simple fling the guy got too attached and things went bad. He doesn't understand why a woman just simply wouldn't tell. Why she kept it such a big "secret". Nevermind, that we all know that his mindset it that is something 'happens' to a woman, 9 times out of 10 she is "asking" for it.
Opinions, please...what are some of the reasons a woman would not tell she is being harassed? This is tearing our family apart, we are all trying to get him to see the other side of the coin, so to speak.

I can understand why your brother feels that way. Honesty is a big part of any relationship and she should have told him what was going on from the start. She very well could have been cheating and then panicked once she realized what she did. Its ok for her to have liked the attention she was getting and she probably thought nothing of it. I'm curious why she told her husband in the first place. It seems very suspicious to me that she kept it from him.

Well, in this case, it sounds like she didn't tell him because she feared he would cause trouble at her workplace and she would get fired.
Maybe she didn't think it was a big deal and the company took care of it for her.
Maybe this guy threatened her and she was afraid to tell her husband.
Maybe she knew her husband would throw her kindness up in her face and make her feel worse for having been kind to someone when he had repeatedly told her not to be so nice to people.
Your brother sounds like a male chauvinist pig and she should kick him to the curb and find someone she can go to when there is a problem.

I think that your brother is being unreasonable. He should be mad at the jerk that was harassing his wife not his wife. This is one of the reasons women don't tell, because of jerks like your brother blaming them.

your brother is a jerk he will never see her side of this so quit trying and just let him be a big butt head all by himself
