“No” always means “no,” no matter who says it. If someone looks uncomfortable with your flirting, it’s time to stop and think about your actions. Unfortunately, some people ignore these boundaries.
One dad found himself in such a situation. His wife’s tipsy friend started making advances toward his teenage son, and he felt compelled to step in. However, he wondered if he might have overreacted in handling the situation.

1. I have so many questions. Let’s jump in!
2. At a get-together at OP’s house, one of his wife’s friends crossed the line while complementing his 19-year-old.
3. When she told his son to take off his shirt, OP intervened by telling her off and calling her ugly.
4. Kathy got upset and started crying. OP’s wife got mad as well
5. OP tried to explain to his wife how the situation made their son feel uncomfortable, and he couldn’t let it happen.
I think OP’s wife should have shown full support for him. Her son’s comfort should be the top priority, just as it was for his father, who quickly intervened when he noticed his son wasn’t having a good time around that woman. OP should’ve grabbed the woman by her arm and thrown her out of the house.

6. When OP asked his wife how she would feel if her friend was a male and their son was instead their daughter…but she still didn’t get it.
7. OP was kinder to Kathy just because she was friends with his wife. Matters would have been much worse for that woman otherwise.
8. OP also explained that he called the woman ugly because he wanted her to know he was upset.

9. If OP’s wife wants to continue meeting her friend, she can do so outside the house.
10. If someone hara*ses my son, I am sorry, but they would face the same treatment.

12. Icing on the top would’ve been had OP grabbed her and personally thrown her out of the house.

13. She had it coming, to be honest.

14. I would disagree. OP got involved because he observed discomfort on his son’s face.

15. Many people said OP shouldn’t have stooped down to the level he dropped to…But what he did had to be done, and no one disagreed with that.

16. And YTA, OP’s wife, for not taking her son’s side.
