The Ethicist
Tin can I Ask My Ex to Delete Those Nude Pics?
The magazine'south Ethicist columnist on how to make a delicate request without provocation, and more.
I recently broke upward with someone I had been seeing for several months — not a long relationship, but a very intense one. In our breakdown I realized that there was a lot about him I did not know, and I no longer trust him the way I once did. Is at that place an ethical style to enquire him to delete nude pictures he may accept on his phone? Part of me feels that if they are received, they are yours to go on, but I no longer feel comfy with his holding them. Whatever suggestions on how to navigate this without retaliation? H.Y.
His to proceed? Yes and no. When he received these pictures from you, you gave him some property rights in them and non others. In particular, you weren't granting him permission to share them with anyone else. You retained a reasonable expectation of privacy. It'southward natural to say that you "shared" the pictures with him, and that verb is quite apt, because when you pressed Send, you were non fully relinquishing your buying.
You're free, of course, to ask him to delete these images, and to remind him that he doesn't have your consent to share them. A decent person would acquiesce to that request, and wouldn't need that reminder. Simply he may take the view that he'due south entitled to these mementos. And fifty-fifty if he promised to delete them, you lot'd have no way of knowing whether he had really washed and then. You lot'd have to trust someone you find less than trustworthy.
Request people to practice something they're non obliged to practise needn't be antagonizing.
You mention retaliation. Do you recall that request him to delete them would arrive more likely that he would circulate them — possibly to a selected person, perhaps more widely? Nearly states criminalize the nonconsensual broadcasting of nude or sexual images, subject to various conditions.
Only your aim is to avoid the violation in the kickoff place. You lot'll be the best judge of how to manage your ex; I'll just notation that asking people to do something they're non obliged to do needn't be antagonizing. Politely let him know that you lot regret having shared these pictures with him, that you hope he will delete them and that you trust he will continue to respect your privacy.
I went over to my father's house one contempo forenoon to do some work while my floors were being cleaned. I told my father the twenty-four hour period before that I would be coming over in the morning so texted again a few minutes before heading over. I accept a key to his place, and then I permit myself in. I rapidly realized that my father was not prepared for my arrival and was in the shower. I shouted hello and headed into the kitchen expanse. In the kitchen, a brightly colored vibrator was charging. I was very surprised to meet this, peculiarly as his girlfriend of half-dozen years was currently out of boondocks and would not be returning until the post-obit evening. I chosen out to my dad that I was going to go for a quick walk to go some air, and when I returned the vibrator was gone. I know there are a number of possible explanations, including that he was preparing for his girlfriend's return. Nonetheless, my father does have a history of infidelity, and information technology makes me sad to call up that he may exist lying to his current partner. I honestly do not want to broach what I saw with my father, merely do I have an obligation to let his girlfriend know of my suspicions? Name Withheld
First, you lot saw what you saw because your begetter trusted you with a key to his home. Although y'all texted him, you don't say that he gave you reason to think he read your texts. So we're talking about what you saw by gaining entry, unannounced, to someone'due south abode. Second, his girlfriend'southward relationship to you passes through him, so to speak; your obligations to her are lesser than your obligations to him. Tertiary, y'all have no relevant knowledge to impart, just speculation. (Every bit you note, at that place are a number of possible explanations.) Yes, if he were being unfaithful and she didn't know information technology, she would be better off, other things being equal, if she did. But that's a wrong for him, non for you, to put right. I'd say you owe information technology to your father to proceed your own counsel nigh this violation of his privacy. And you owe information technology to yourself to put it out of your mind.
A Facebook friend of mine, who is on the faculty of my university but whom I've never met, was instrumental in introducing me to a publisher for a manuscript I have been working on for many years. To my delight, the book has been accustomed for publication!
I am very grateful to this Facebook friend and was thinking of treating them to a nice luncheon. My spouse says: "Absolutely not! You are not real friends with this person. It is creepy to reach out to them, they are going to think you are some kind of pervert!" Regardless of whether my partner is correct about me being creepy, is information technology inappropriate to offer lunch to this "friend" I have never met? Nosotros accept commented upon each other'southward Facebook posts over the years and I think find each other interesting. (I would not exist averse to actually being friends.)
Practise y'all call up the answer to this question differs depending upon our respective genders and/or sexual identities? Proper name Withheld
I find your spouse's interpretation a surprising one. Your spouse plain thinks that this lunch is bound to be read as a romantic overture (making gender and sexual identities relevant). Given the interactions you describe, though, a collegial lunch would seem a very natural proposal. At that place are many kinds of affection; eros and philia can follow dissimilar tracks. Existence a loving and true-blue spouse doesn't crave that you close yourself off from new friendships.
I have worked for my company for 21 years. It has e'er treated me fairly. I have enjoyed my tenure hither, and I intend to give detect of my retirement on March ane.
I have heard that there will be a shuffling of responsibilities early this year. These responsibilities crave interaction with our external customers. This could mean I am given new external customers with whom I need to develop trust and a solid working human relationship. Question: Knowing that I will be leaving just a few months afterward I become responsibleness for new customers, do I have an obligation to give notice earlier so that my employers don't have to reassign my new customers after such a short period of time? Name Withheld
You don't want to inconvenience a company y'all've enjoyed working for. That speaks well of you lot. But I don't encounter why you need to inconvenience yourself as a effect. Why tin can't you only tell your bosses what you lot're planning to do, so that they tin can have it into account as they reshuffle tasks and customer relationships? Your bosses have treated you adequately; you'll depart having treated them fairly.
I am a graduate pupil at a big public academy, and one of few students lucky enough to be funded by my department. Recently I learned that other graduate students (funded and unfunded) in the department accept signed up for a Covid relief stipend. I am not in dire financial straits, and I don't support anyone in my family financially, only grad school stipends aren't high, and the price of living near my university is high, especially since many housing-management companies seem to presume that students are fully supported by their parents, and therefore rent is a ridiculously high portion of my income.
I wouldn't say that I experienced annihilation life-altering when Covid hit, but similar many other students, I found being online more stressful, pitiful and isolating, and every bit a effect felt a significant drop in my mental health with the onset of the pandemic. If this money is already awarded to my school, is it wrong to sign upwards for the Covid relief stipend? Name Withheld
Philosophers often employ the term "institutional desert" to refer to what someone deserves according to the rules of some system or governing entity, and that'southward what pertains here. If the rules are reasonable, there'south no reason not to follow them. You don't say how the relief program is structured or what its eligibility criteria are. But why not apply? If you respond all the questions truthfully and you are adjudged eligible, you're entitled to the benefit.
