To feel a bit jealous about this woman and DH?

Maybe she's just a really thoughtful person? Like, the Lesley Knope of their work.
I really like a lot of my coworkers & while I wouldn't be organised enough to get them a card, I do always big them up if they've had a win. Especially if they are also nice to me. I'm not sexually interested in any of them.

To be honest me and my boss are very close and discuss lots of personal issues, but there are absolutely zero feelings between us. I buy him and his kid Christmas/birthday/Easter gifts etc. It's possible they're just close colleagues.

Yeah some men double bluff i think is the saying... they do too much of the opposite to throw you off the scent but you'd have to know if he is manipulative type or just clueless, thoughtless man.
He definitely likes the gesture. The doodle is odd unless they are artsy? Inside joke?

I think it's fine- if there were anything going on he'd hardly put the card on the mantelpiece.

I had a (female) junior who used to do things like this- some people just give a lot of cards.

If he was shagging her he wouldn’t put a card from her up on the mantlepiece.
I wouldn't count on that.

If he was shagging her he wouldn’t put a card from her up on the mantlepiece. I’d take it as proof that his virtue is intact

Take it down after a few days and see if he notices/mentions it , if you have other decorations there say for Easter you could always say you were just taking things down after the holidays etc . The doodle thing is a bit odd , like she wants him to have a reminder of her or something ? Maybe you could send him in with a framed pic of you for his desk LOL. Or you could do what Ross in Friends did when Rachel got the promotion , he sent in the band singing “very soon you’ll be the boss and don’t forget your boyfriend named Ross”.

Bin it?

No reason not to trust him but certainly be wary of her. This is mega creepy behaviour. I'd be telling him he needs to keep her at arms length.

I would say she fancies him.

Nothing to say your dh feels the same way. He's probably not even read inside the card TBH.

I wouldn't overthink it. I can't see him putting it up on the mantle piece if he had anything to hide.

This.
I can't believe so many think yabu!

I worked with a woman who used to suck up/buy gifts for male management. She very obviously flirted with them, despite them being married and you could see they loved the ego boost. This sounds similar but if you trust him I wouldn't be too worried

Yeah, that's weird and overstepping on her part I think us, a doodle of herself?? Wtf?
I'd take it down and see if he mentions it personally and I would definitely be keeping my eyes and ears open.

This isn’t something that would bother me on its own. Obviously if there’s a whole lot of other context, that might be different, but just a nice card is pretty innocent. I definitely have colleagues who would do this kind of thing without it meaning anything more.

It sounds quite forward from her. I assume he has made her feel comfortable enough to do this unless she is very brazen!
A card for a supportive boss getting a promotion isn’t cause for concern but a very personalised card seems like they have quite loose personal boundaries. Perhaps putting it on the mantelpiece is him trying to normalise it. I think it would be fine to say it was nice of her to get you a card but maybe raise concerns if he thought there was more to it based on the content.
P.S. I want to see the doodle!

Yeah this is weird. If i received a card like this from a colleague I wouldn’t display it on the mantelpiece, not because there was something going on but because I’d be embarrassed that there were obvious feelings there. I’d also be very careful to be totally professional at work and shut down any escalation.
Your husband isn’t an idiot, he knows this isn’t normal. He’s flattered. Hiding in plain sight is right.
If you challenge him on it I bet you’ll get a load of bluster about how ridiculous you’re being.

I'd feel a bit weirded out if one of my reports did this tbh. A group effort - lovely. An individual - erm,,,no.

The issue would not her behaviour but his. Maybe she has got a bit of a crush or something. All that matters is how he responds.

Honestly? I think she may have some feelings for him, possibly. It doesn't mean he feels the same too though.

A doodle of herself ?

He hasn't tried to hide it but l would be telling him to be careful not to give her the wrong impression. She could get shitty if she doesn't get her own way.

She has a crush on him. A man giving a woman emotional support is an aphrodisiac for her and men are so supportive when she's pretty. It's textbook boohoo my home life is so awful. White knight offers hanky and shoulder. Lil helpless miss oh i must pay you back how about a little date....you are so nice and perfect... white knight feels 10ft high....comes home to: empty dishwasher, take rubbish out, im too tired for sex. Then oopsie affair aka real love.

You've already said you have jealousy issues from a previous relationship, that you're trying to keep in check. So try not to project that onto your husband in this situation. My feeling is that if he had anything to hide, you wouldn't have seen that card at all.
Have you had any concerns about him in the past?
Maybe it's just that he is just chuffed someone had the thought to get him a congratulations card. Because it sounds like nobody else made the effort!
If you do want to question it, start a conversation and open with "I see "Sophie" sent you a card, that was nice of her wasn't it?" See his reaction, if you're still not convinced/happy, continue it on from there.
Of course, you're guaranteed to get posters on here that will straight away say "trust your gut" and "LTB" without even considering the bigger picture! 🙄
Good luck and keep us updated 🌹

If there was something going on, I can't imagine he'd be brazen enough to put the card up.
Hiding in plain sight?
