A married female friend of DH is flirting with him by txt. He says that she is just being friendly How do I get her to stop and or get DH see the light.

I don't see it as acceptable behaviour on her part am I just old fashioned?

I'm old-fashioned too, I guess, because I think this is totally inappropriate.

I wouldn't text her husband, I'd text her. In fact, I'd inundate her with so much ridiculous crap that she'd run away from me AND my husband as fast as her clown-feet could carry her. But I'm bitchy and, possibly, unstable.

She's messing with you. You go mess with her right back. Don't expect much from your DH...men don't get these female games.

Good luck.

It's all in the context, I guess. I'm reminded of my mother's saying "Eavesdroppers never hear good of themselves" and it's like that when you read other people's texts or emails.
I'm sure that some of my texts to platonic friends could be misconstrued and even presented as evidence of foul play - but the truth is, it's all just silly nonsense.
An example: a friend of mine sent a text to me reading "I'm on my way to warm your arse."
To the outside world - clear evidence of some extra-curricular activity.
To us - it's about taking her car not mine on a day out as she has an Audi TT with a seat warming gadget.

Would you want him calling you babe if he uses that for a friend?

He's probably just following her lead so if she texts him with xx at the end he does it back. Do you put xx at the end of texts to him?

Some slightly alarming bunny boiler responses here. I put x on the end of texts to men friends in the same way as I do to female friends. I also write lots of love. It doesn't mean I want to fuck their brains out

Whether they have a romantic history or not has nothing to do with it. If they were involved, they aren't now so it's beside the point. If they are involved, then texts are the least of your problems. If he's going to leave you for her, he probably would have by now.

What would I do? I'd ask myself why I was worrying that there was something going on. Either you trust your partner...or you don't.

He calls her 'babe' and puts 'xx'?

Tell him it's effeminate & does he want to borrow your hair straighteners.
