Brothers, I am loathe to pose this question to my own brethern for fear of mockery or judgement. Suffice to say, I have encountered some difficulty with a woman, with a fairly strained relationship. I am not comfortable speaking to her and whilst I have politely and tactfully tried to convey that sentiment, she does not take the message.

I asked her out for coffee, and got a very long winded, vague, ambigious answer that amounted to a no. Fair enough, that is her perogative. I was disappointed she could not have been candid, but I decided to just move on.

Her son, approached me in the street, and in no uncertain terms, made it very clear that I had better stay well away from her, or else he would render me harm. I am of course, putting it politely brothers, for I do not wish to use the vile language he used.

I am a law graduate, and, given that it was only myself and him at that time, there is no way of the police following it up. He said-he said, it wouldnt even get past the desk sergeant.

Either his mother is playing some bizzare game, or she is totally oblivious to what transpired previously, and I really do not know what to do. She approaches me, and despite my best attempts to move away, she simply does not take the hint. Brothers I am APPALLED to admit this, but given the way things have been progressing...I have been sorely tempted to rely upon that very specific protection that we are accorded in our 3rd degree. GHSOD (Id rather not say it in full).

Brothers, I hope you will read the above and not judge me unduly, or mock me for it. I really have not a clue what to do, and so in this time of doubt, difficulty and distress, it is in my BROTHERS, to whom I place my faith.

Brother, I sympathise with you, but I really don't think this is the place to post about such a very personal matter.

Greetings Gabranth,

Welcome to the forum. I would just like to say that this is a Forum to discuss Freemasonry and not a help line for folk to sort out their emotional and personal lives.

There is nobody here can sort this out for you or give you any advice that is pertinent to you situation. If you as a citizen of the UK (Not as a Freemason) have been threatened by someone then you go the police. No question. If you are a Mason and want to talk about your problems then talk to the Brothers in your Lodge who know you. Simples....

I sympathise with you brother but you should heed you own words i have quoted above. All on here i am sure want the best for you but cannot assist as we do not know you. Trust your brethren if you feel the need to talk. If you had faith in us as strangers not to mock, then show that same faith in those you call friend as well as brother.

My best wishes to you

Record everything. If she approaches, tape the conversation and keep it safe.

firstly welcome to the forum.

Secondly, although you have posted as a brother we don't know you from adam, i dont say that to ridicule in anyway but only those who know you and are close to you will fully understand the situation that you are in, we would only be guessing. Personally if it was me i would walk away with my head held high knowing i had done nothing wrong, if her son approached me again i would explain that it is her that is now making the advances. but again i must stress that i am only guessing, the son might be 6 foot 8 and 25 stone in which case, i probably wouldn't say anything to him at all, i would just get in my car and drive the opposite way really fast.

I hope everything gets sorted for you soon. Good luck.
