Hi,
I posted under EN and was advised to try here. Does anyone have any advice for dealing with the phone calls from the OW? My WS insists that he told her not to call our home -- she is a client -- but she continues to call. At first I was polite and told her that she could call on his business line and leave ma message but now she is rude and demanding. I don't know what to do. I really want to rude her out, but don't want to LB things...
Any suggesrions???

If she is truly a client and has business-related issues w/ him, would it be agreeable to your H to tell her to call him AT HIS OFFICE during REGULAR BUSINESS HOURS? When he is at home, that is his time off and should be respected. If he does not agree and wishes to allow her to continue calling, then if it is truly "all business", there should be no problem with him speaking to her on speakerphone so that you can hear, or to allow you to be in the same room listening to what he is saying to her. That would help you see if it were truly business or not. Ask him and see what he says. His answer will tell you all you need to know. Its important to have boundaries in your own home.

jmho...is her business really worth the hassel? I'd try to do whatever is necessary to give her business to a competitor! Even if she wasn't the OW...it sounds like this is one client my company could do without. IF this isn't an option...then I'd make it very clear that client or no...rude behavior will be met with hang up. JMHO
