I am writing for your help, please. I am currently a live-in domestic assistant. I work weekdays and sometimes weekends when needed. I am grateful for the family I work for, but the past six months have become unbearable for me. The husband is becoming too forward with me and I want him to stop before he succeeds with his intentions.
He argues with his wife about sex. I don't think she is fulfilling her duties in intimacy, but do not think I am being nosey, it's because they shout and argue loudly. I am sure the children can hear them as well. Since the arguments started, he has been watching me differently, speaking to me more, and he touches me. He rubs my shoulders and touches me sensually. It makes me uncomfortable, but I don't say anything because I need my job, and I don't want to return to my parents who will preach to me day in and day out.
I am afraid that he will come to my room at night and try to have sex with me. I really need a rapid response. I don't know what to do.
Signed,
Nervous Domestic Assistant

Dear NDA,
No job is worth your peace of mind. You are living in fear and you should speak up for yourself. Tell your boss that his touches and glances make you uncomfortable. Tell him you will no longer work for him if he continues his behavior. I'm not sure where you are, but there are usually laws which protect employees from acts of sexual harassment. Please inquire about the laws in your location. You can file a formal complaint if he retaliates or ignores your request.
If I were you, I'd leave and seek employment elsewhere. You should never settle for any type of mistreatment. If you must, go home to your parents for a while. There's no shame or harm in that. Preaching is better than sexual harassment any day!
Walk good,
#TeamWISY
