Reasoning with an angry boyfriend...
I'm usually on the receiving end of the terrible cheating girlfriend equation, but this time I'm accidentally on the other side.
So, I'm gonna really really tl;dr this because its a mess and is far too much to type.
tl;dr - Didn't know girl A had a boyfriend. I had no interest in girl A. Shes pretty, but dumb as a rock and just completely not my type. Girl A is also known for being a bit...mmmm..."lax" in her morals. So as a man who can only take so much, some things happened. I'm now in a position where I'll probably never see girl A again unless I accidentally run into her at a grocery store. She was working nearby me but got a different job and is gone. Whatever, I figure I dodged that bullet anyway.
So, a week later I get a buttload of threatening emails from her stupid boyfriend. Fear is not the issue here, hes a tiny man and my safety is my last concern. I tried explaining to him rationally that it wasn't my fault. I had no idea she was in a relationship, and casually mentioned I wasn't the first, and probably wouldn't be the last. I left it at that, and have gotten a few more nasty messages.
All I can do is ignore it, right? I know the guy somewhat, and hes not the type to hunt me down. I think his pride is hurt and he just needed to make some empty threats. I'd like to calm him down, but I doubt there is anything I can say to him. If anyone here knows a good way to deal with this, I'd really appreciate some help.
