To feel it's inevitable

[KatiePie43]

Last day of term. Been for traditional pub meet with 20 or so mums and a few dads after early kick out of school. Dh meets us after work and all mums are all over him. Most are single or separated or divorced. And he laps it up. Especially the ones who are piss artists or obviously very needy. How long b4 he gives in with one of them? Like all their husbands have.

What a sad world you inhibit

Do you have any reason to believe he would be unfaithful? This sounds like you’re white quite paranoid.

Wow. You have a very low opinion of both your husband and the women you choose to associate with.

You sound like you don’t like any of the parents from school (piss artists or needy) or your partner (how long before he gives in with one of them). Why are you with him?

Is this the one day a term they meet?

Maybe he just enjoys the novelty of being in a social group with lots of women. It doesn’t mean he’s going to jump into bed with any of them.
It’s been a long term, everyone is tired. Let it pass and enjoy the holidays

Charming.

You know him better than us OP.
If it feels inevitable to you then I'd advise you to be on your guard.

If you feel like you have to 'protect' your husband from other women then good luck going mad. He's not your property. If he doesn't value your vows then so be it. Don't do a mad dance around anyone. No-one is worth your self-respect.

OP, I admire your realism. You know what we used to say about ducks? Line the fuckers up, just in case, and keep your eyes and ears open.

My gran had a deep hatred of ‘Judy the Second’, the non-specific other woman/second wife. Her view was that the first wife does the hard work and the Judy the Second gets the fur coat.

There’s no harm in being prepared.

Certainly is the last day of term. I’m not sure about the rest of your post though.

What’s making you feel insecure?

Given what you've said it seems like a bit of an over-reaction. What's making you feel this way?

The fact he laps it up is a big red flag OP. I've spent tonight with my DP and a group of female friends and they all chatted and got on and I didn't feel he was "lapping up" their attention at all. But I knew that if you turned the clock back a few years and it was my ex - he would have been lapping it up. The reason he is an ex is because he cheated. Don't look at the women's behaviour, look at his.

Oh poor him, how long can he keep the strength to resist.... depends on how long he wants to stay married I suppose!

Or are you just massively insecure?

It's difficult to tell but isn't the type of behaviour that a coercive man would display when DW is just being friendly?
