My friend had a house party last night for her birthday. She has a large kitchen so most of us were in there when a random woman asked my husband to zip her dress up as it was coming down at the back.

She was with friends and has never met my husband (or me) ever before.

Aibu to have been annoyed?

stopeating - if a woman gets annoyed by a flirty woman flirting with her DH it's because she is insecure and jealous.

There is no reason to care otherwise if he has no form for having a roving eye.

Was it a Red dress?

I don't know why I want to know that, but I have a picture in my head of a Red dress for some reason Confused

mynameisvivienne · 17/05/2015 22:09

Yes stopeatingbiscuits annoyed with the woman. Not with my husband.

I think it's wrong to openly flirt with someone infront of their partner.

Ah I see, so she should've let you leave the room and then flirted with him behind your back?

ClearEyesFullHearts · 17/05/2015 22:10

Did she know he was your husband?

TheBlessedCheesemaker · 17/05/2015 22:10

She probably missed the neon sign over his head saying 'hands off, he's taken'. Just like you missed your grip.

Salmotrutta · 17/05/2015 22:10

Unless of course the flirty woman becomes a serious stalker and bunny boiler.

needastrongone · 17/05/2015 22:10

I can't see the issue OP? What do you consider was the issue. It wouldn't bother me in the slightest, I trust my DH.

mynameisvivienne · 17/05/2015 22:11

Was it a Red dress?

No, black.

How is asking someone to fix your zip "openly flirting".

Was she flirting? What are the circumstances of the unzipped dress? I would still giggle though with DH, have done, on the rare occasion a woman had flirted!

mynameisvivienne · 17/05/2015 22:13

I don't see it as my issue of trust. I would never have married someone I did not trust. Would be a miserable life.

I don't like the fact that a woman would openly flirt with my husband when it's obvious I'm his partner.

Yanbu, it's not on. Obviously as this is MN you will be told it shouldn't bother you. I wouldn't like it, nothing to do with not trusting your partner. Its a fairlly intimate thing to ask of a stranger. She was flirting.

Salmotrutta · 17/05/2015 22:13

had the zip worked loose down to her knickers OP?

WalterMittyish · 17/05/2015 22:13

If someone openly flirted with my partner in front of me I'd piss myself laughing. I am actually laughing now just imagining the 'WTF do I do now?!?!?!?!' look on his terrified little face Grin

But was she actually flirting. Did she purr 'would you mind?' while tossing her hair and positioning herself provocatively in front of him?

OstentatiousBreastfeeder · 17/05/2015 22:13

It is a bit flirty. Why didn't she just ask one of the friends she was standing with instead of walking over to a random bloke and asking him to do it?

I'd be Hmm but then I wouldn't give it a second thought really. Are there any underlying trust issues at play here?

FirstWeTakeManhattan · 17/05/2015 22:14

Unless there's a something you're going to drip feed (do it quick, you're losing your audience), then take it on the chin, OP. This is barely a flirt. It's barely a half-step up from 'can you pass those crisps?' It's hardly giving you the finger whilst straddling him and rotating her nipple tassels, is it?

You asked AIBU, MN said aye, you are. I'd honestly not give it any more headspace.

CadleCrap · 17/05/2015 22:14

donemekmelaf Me too. Red, just above the knee with long sleeves.

Salmotrutta · 17/05/2015 22:14

Right. You didn't like it.

We get that.

But we think you should put it behind you and move on.

WalterMittyish · 17/05/2015 22:15

Ah I see, so she should've let you leave the room and then flirted with him behind your back?

Just snorted tea down my nose, ta very much Grin

zipping up a dress is not flirting if that was what the woman was thinking she was doing then she is rubbish at it! Op you sound very insecure and controlling
