Good ideas. I guess there are many ways to love someone. One way is to leave them alone if they have asked to be left alone. Now as long as he leaves me alone and does not make snide comments behind my back like he has been, that is fine with me.

I found out how to reach my boss's boss last night. That changes everything. I can and will have to go above her and ask to speak with him and have HIM speak to the bully and tell him what is not ok about what he has been doing. I know the bully will try to defend himself with some lies. He already, I believe, has done that with my boss.

I've been advised by a friend not to mention him at all to anyone at work. So I have been trying to do that. Today went much better. I am hoping tomorrow even goes better yet. So far the bully has not returned. I don't know if he ever will return, but if he does, I have a way to get him handled, by a MAN, which is what he needs, as he has no real respect for women, in my experience with his behavior. He tells a lot of off-color jokes and degrading ex-wife/ ex-GF stories....
