You're right, but this area is so incredibly gray it might as well be one in the same. Sexual harassment laws were not created with relationships in mind, but co-workers.

I have the opposite opinion in that I think that sexual harassment cases involving exes in the work place should almost always be thrown out, but alas...

It's nearly impossibly to date someone and not sexually harass them in some way. It's doubly hard to break up with someone and not sexually harass them in some way.

Considering most of her allegations are words/phrases that he called her, and considering many people call significant others very bad things when they are breaking up, it's almost impossible to draw the line between sexual harassment and break-up banter.

You have horrible relationships if you think this is even remotely true.

And even worse break ups.

That or you don't know what sexual harassment is which I'm thinking is far more likely.

No its not.

I've been around the block a few times and had a few past relationships go sour; but I've never felt the need to call an ex-lover a slut or suggest that she was a whore for sleeping with someone other than me. If someone does that, I'm going to judge them; and not in a good light.
