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

And I'm not a grumpy old feminist. What the FUCK? Because I object to essentially being treated like a piece of meat, my dh and their wives disrespected?

Since the disrespect towards you DH and marriage appears your major gripe, I think very few people would call you a grumpy feminist.

I didn't say you were a troll, OP, I explained my earlier post. I thought your post was goady for the reasons I gave and I'm not interested in your silly faux-rage any longer.

People are being a bit mean on here aren't they?!
Sure this could happen. Maybe OP had done herself up particularly that day or is very pretty. A lot of married men have a wandering eye.
There is a lot of jealousy on this post!

The thing I hate the most is when I've seen married men, in a park with their wife and new baby, eyeing up other women, right in front of their wives.....depressing.

I had my whole left boob out in Pizza Hut once (for ages!)and not ONE single randy man came and propositioned me. WTAF? Life is unfair.

Ewww OverTheTop2 I’ve seen that too. Creeps. Really depressing.

It's really not out of the realms of possibility that three men hit on a woman in one day. I was out last Saturday night and had 2 men try to ask for my number, another ask to buy me a drink and another creep tried to grope me as I walked past, also countless leers towards my chest because I am big busted. Not vain, made up or anything of the kind, just a symptom of our society in most cases.

I'm not sure of the hostility towards the OP either, tbh.

And as for those disingenuously suggesting that the OP has misinterpreted their intentions...

Yes, it must have just been me getting all silly, female and confused. With a little smidge of being up myself

I think it's probably exactly that...

I think some women have no idea what their husbands are actually willing to say to other women.

It's not usually left to any interpretation. One text message I had from the husband of one of my friends, with whom I am supposedly also friends, told me that sometimes just the smell of me made him hard and he'd love nothing more than to feel me cum on his tongue.

The message was definitely for me - he referred to me by name.

Or do you think I'm silly and confused too?

Wowweeee · 22/01/2018 17:25

hellogoodbye some women are just so worried about their husbands being one of these men that they have no choice but to make out that it is the woman leading them on/misunderstanding/lying/being a slut.

Sad really.

1st rule of misogyny: Women are responsible for what men do.

Tomselleckhaskindeyes · 22/01/2018 22:22

I’ve seen a lot of relationships break up recently. I think people give up too easily and don’t work through their issues. I agree I think it has become more socially acceptable to cheat. It’s bloody depressing.

I've said THREE TIMES now. People on here know who I am in real life from my usual user name.

But if you've told your husband why does it matter that people you know IRL see this post is from you? I don't understand the need for anonymity here?

Wowweeee · 23/01/2018 12:21

She might not want their wives to read it.

Or for any of her friends to read it and wonder/ask if it is their husband.

She might not want the judgement/criticism on here to extend into real life.

She might not want to be gossiped about.

Honestly, some people really are lacking in any imagination...
