Whenever I see this dad on the school run we say hi (as I do to lots of people). Sometimes we have a quick chat. We both help with school trips sometimes and recently walked round together during one of them - we were the only 'helpers' there who weren't teachers. We have a bit of banter because our children (and us) support opposing football teams and always have a laugh about it. I also say hi to his wife, although I don't know her very well as she doesn't usually do the school run.
Anyway, last week there was a class assembly. I went and so did this mans' wife. We ended up sitting next to each other and having a quick chat. Then a strange thing happened. She had been saying her H was going to try to get to the assembly from work. He then turned up at the end, looked over, blushed like mad (it was a very clear blush), then walked out again. She said 'what's up with him?!' and went after him. I walked past them again on the way out and she smiled and said 'see you later', but he just looked down at his feet.
The next few days he was at the school on his own and was normal again, chatting etc. But then this morning there was a school meeting again about new classes. They were both there, and suddenly he's blanking me again. She was fine.
So why would somebody think they can only speak to you if their wife's not there? He's never been flirty with me nor I him. And she doesn't seem like the type of woman who wouldn't let her H talk to anyway - she seems really nice actually.
So AIBU?
