Happily married to dh. Have a young ds.

Yesterday no less than THREE men came on to me.

All of them are friends with dh too! All have wives/ long term partners.

What the fuck is wrong with people? I feel like people are giving less of a shit about this kind of thing these days.

When I had a go at one of them he told me I should have felt flattered not angry. Wtf? AngryEnvy

Now, I have no idea about the OP and her circumstances, but I have found in the past that some women I have known have been convinced that men are coming onto them when they are just being polite and chatting. They are usually the same ones who say that everyone is giving them dirty looks when the people in question seem totally oblivious to their presence.

Three men???? Not in a boat I hope.

HoneyDragon · 21/01/2018 23:31

Well he said “Hello”? Should I log it with 101 on account he’s married and I am an attractive female (on a good day with the entire 3rd floor of Debenhams beauty department on my face and control pants)?

FurCoatFurKnickers · 21/01/2018 23:31

Why haven't you come back first-post-ever OP ? Are you still beating off DH's friends with a shitty stick?

GreenTulips · 21/01/2018 23:32

Were you at a swingers party?

paxillin · 21/01/2018 23:33

Very disrespectful. I've locked him back in, give it an hour on the gin and he won't say Hello anymore.

Agerbilatemycardigan · 21/01/2018 23:34

Ah, Samantha - how we miss you...

AnnieAnoniMouse · 21/01/2018 23:52

Of course they did dear.

Hateloggingin · 21/01/2018 23:54

‘Beating off DHs friends’ :D I think that’s allegedly what they wanted :D

She wrote a book about how she ended up in France. It wasn't very good.

AnyFucker · 21/01/2018 23:58

Did you throw your car keys on the table ?

Were you looking particularly good, Op? I had a day like that once. A LONG time ago. I'd been made up by some back street photographer for some nice shots that were designed to make me want them and therefore pay a fortune. I went straight out drinking afterwards and I DID get a few offers, but I lived in Swindon at the time, so not difficult.

Lalliella · 22/01/2018 00:08

Tell us more OP! Was this at a party?

hollowtree · 22/01/2018 00:09

Omg! That woman in the clip! What a knob!!!

thebewilderness · 22/01/2018 00:09

I am guessing you usually see these men when you are with your H or they are with their wives?
I have also had that experience where all of a sudden men who I had considered safely partnered suddenly were putting the moves on me. WTF? The only three in one day harassment was when I was shopping alone. I wish we could go places without a guard dog or guard husband.

PositivelyPERF · 22/01/2018 00:18

Within a week of the six month anniversary of the death of my dear husband, I had three men I’ve known for years, come onto me, so it is possible. They had fuck all going for them but were surprised I wasn’t flattered. 😒 Fucking arseholes.

Why the fuck do so many mean think that women should be flattered about their sleezy behaviour?

ThisLittleKitty · 22/01/2018 00:27

That's abit different though. These men are all in relationships as is the op and it happened in one day.

BluePony · 22/01/2018 00:52

Lucky!

BluePony · 22/01/2018 00:53

I'd tell their partners if I were you.

hellogoodbye1 · 22/01/2018 00:57

Not sure why I've got all the bloody biscuits! Angry

It's certainly not a stealth brag, I've put on a shit ton of weight recently and am actually very surprised anyone would make a pass! It definitely isn't something that happens to me a lot. Or ever since having ds.

They don't know each other so I don't think it was a bet lol.

One messaged me with something pretty inappropriate, one I saw when I was out at a bar for drinks and made it pretty clear he was interested and the third was later at a party.

My point is that I feel like people seem to put less importance on relationships than they used to. And how does someone just have the brass balls to approach someone?!

Obviously I told dh about each incident. I'd hope that he'd do the same if it were the other way round!

I wonder why anyone posts on MN anymore. You can't say anything without it being torn apart..

hellogoodbye1 · 22/01/2018 01:03

I name changed as a few people on here know who I am irl. Report of you feel the need.

I absolutely wasn't imagining it or making more of it. Each case was very clear.

And I wasn't looking good. I've got my period so am bloated and spotty.

I wouldn't ever approach someone with a partner. Let alone a friend!

Anyway, as I said, no need to get all biscuity. It was a genuine thought that people seem to have less respect for relationships these days.

MagicWillHappen · 22/01/2018 01:03

Your dh has some pretty shit friends.

I find the odds of this actually happening...unlikely. Not in one day.

More likely that you are somewhat deluded imho.

Or maybe your dh is complicit and trying to prove adultery Shock

hellogoodbye1 · 22/01/2018 01:07

I'm not deluded. I'm old enough to know the difference between friendly and more than friendly. I think the three in one day thing was just weird chance. It's not something that happens regularly.

I do usually only see them with wives or dh around.

Honestly, it's made me feel like shit so it's certainly not something I feel all happy and smug about.
