You are having quite an extreme reaction. Relax. I don't disagree idiots exist. I just feel like key elements of the story are really hammed up for the schadenfreude aspect. Such as texting her ex and his response basically being "oh i don't care I just wanted to gently caress you anyway". The line could have been finessed a little more. I'm not really sure how the universe not being fair is relevant?

We're just saying you've had a lucky life. I've had almost the exact same thing happen to me, down to her using regurgitated talking points like that she read on Tumblr. Unfortunately... I wasn't as smart as Pete and ended up getting cheated on


People talking like that is a lot more common now, especially with extremely online types

Absolutely not. Gaslighting is when you deliberately gently caress with someone's perceptions so that they trust what you tell them over what they see/hear/feel/think. But then tumblr got ahold of the term and now there's a bunch of idiots using it to mean "he disagreed with me and that's abuse!"

Well it's a lot simpler than being a mastermind knowing the thoughts and perceptions of your partner and subverting them.

It doesn't need intent, just a refusal to be at fault for any problem and making up reasons that it's the partner's fault instead to salve their conscience/ego.

[OR] Porn star using wife's name as alias and receiving some mild harassment. Is it possible to force/threaten the woman into changing her alias?

quote:

My wife professionally goes by her maiden name which is two very common names (think "Jane Smith" or something similar). My wife is in academia and her work phone, email and office location are easily findable if you Google her name.

My wife started getting weird emails from strangers, which started out rather innocently but now are usually sexually suggestive. She also has gotten some strange sexually suggestive voicemails. At first she thought disgruntled students were playing a prank on her and actually notified campus police but after we did some investigating we found that there is a woman selling pornographic clips of herself using my wife's name as an alias (we assume it's an alias). Now seems like these emails/voicemails are coming from people attempting to reach this woman.

My wife doesn't want to change her name, change her contact info, or delist her contact information (colleagues from other institutions may need to get in touch with her this way). We've attempted to reach out to this woman on Twitter pleading her to change her name and there's no response.

Would it be worth it to discuss with an attorney? I imagine we'd have to subpoena Twitter/the video sale site she uses and then send her a C&D once we have her real name and address. The whole process seems like it'd be long and expensive which is why we're asking if it's even possible for us to force this woman to change her name.

Edit: Also, for full disclosure. My wife legally has my last name but is going by her maiden name for professional reasons. So is the fact she is (sort of) going by an alias as well going to hurt our potential case?

Wonder if she could go after the dudes leaving sexual voicemails unprompted, seems like the sort of thing that should be illegal.

Today I learned that "gay-us" is apparently an actual valid pronunciation for Gaius, I'm guessing because English speakers have always been really bad at pronouncing Latin stuff

in the glorious lingua Latina it is of course pronounced "guy-us"
