How do I tell him to stop without making it awkward?

KEEP IT PROFESSIONAL | My employer won’t (não querer, recusar-se a) stop sending me kisses at the end of his texts.

DEAR DEIDRE: MY employer won’t stop sending me kisses at the end of his texts and it’s making me really uncomfortable.

I’m a 34-year-old cleaner and started working for this family six months ago.

I deal exclusively with the husband, who has always been friendly.

But recently, he seems to have started flirting with me. A couple of (alguns, algumas) times, he’s asked if I want to stay for lunch and a glass of wine.

He’s also started sending kisses at the end of his text messages.

One said: “Thanks for today. Look forward to (esperar ansiosamente/com expectativa, ansiar por) seeing you next week xx. (beijos)”

I’ve mentioned that I’m happily married multiple times, but he doesn’t seem to be getting the message.

How do I tell him that I want to keep things professional without making it awkward (desajeitado, embaraçoso, complicado)?

DEIDRE SAYS: People often send kisses to close their messages. But it’s understandable that this is making you uncomfortable.

My support pack Standing Up For Yourself (defender-se) will help you get your point across (passar seu ponto de vista) about keeping things professional.

If he continues to cross the line (passar do limite), consider finding another family to work for.
