Father in law

I had this happen to me in my last relationship.At first it was just verbal flirting,which I didn't mind.Then it got touchy feely when no one was looking.I'd just smack his hand away.The last straw was when I arrived for the weekly family dinner and no one was there except my father in law.He grabbed me and pinned me on the couch with hands everywhere.I pushed him off telling him I was going to tell.He said go ahead.So I told my hubby who just shurgged it off,saying 'Dad didn't mean nothing by it.'And then my mother in law,who said the exact same thing! From that day forward I made sure I was never near him much less alone.Avoidence may also be your only option.

I think she should confront him and if that doesn't work, she should tell her husband about it.

I would probably confront my father in law first and if it didnt stop after that then I would have to take it to my husband. I have come to realize that there are some things about our parents we dont want to hear about from our spouses and in my opinion that's one of them LOL.

I think she should tell her husband and let him handle it. If her husband doesn't do anything about it, then she knows how he really feels about her and then she should refuse to go to his house and if her father in law is at their house, she should make it a point not to be alone with him.
