Went to an archery club today there were 5 men there and two women there . One of the woman who I would say was in her early sixties asked me if I was here with my husband .Aibu unreasonably to think that is a ridiculous question to ask nowadays ? I am not even wearing a wedding ring .

Why would you have laughed?

Because it's such a silly question in my case.

It is a ridiculous question, but I'd have just laughed. I am also husband-less thank god.

Why would you have laughed?

She’s just making chit-chat. I go to a club where a lot of people join as couples. Not all, but many. Maybe it’s the same at this club.

God forbid she was just trying to make conversation with you. Ffs

Some people are so easily offended these days!

Indeed! God forbid someone should try and start a conversation 🙄

KilkennyCats · 08/08/2025 19:00

Just say yes or no. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that question.
Did it hit a nerve, or something?

OP, you need to chill out a bit

RhaenysRocks · 08/08/2025 18:58

Maybe they happened to be there with their husbands..the archery club I used to attend was mostly older couples and then some random others. I think this is you being a tad oversensitive.

Maybe she fancied you
