They have a professional relationship, but she's stepping over the line.
  • I'd opt for passive resistance here

    Delete the email. Do not respond in any way other than to your partner.

    What this MILF wants is a response, good, bad, or otherwise. Refusing to give one is the most infuriating thing you can do. Think Ghandi. Do not participate. As I've learned in parenting classes, the kid wants to play tug-of-war, and the hardest thing to do is NOT pick up the rope. Do not join the argument. Delete the email. Put her address in your spam filter. Any future emails go right where they belong, with all the ads for pen1s enhancement and v1agra. Do not read them.

    The conversation you have with your significant other, by the way, is a whole 'nother thing. Make your position clear. This person has crossed a lot of personal and professional boundaries with your SO. It's up to him to make it clear where those boundaries are, not you.
