Outside view on something that happened at a party

[TryToBalance]

Hi all, just sanity checking something that happened.

Both Couple A & Couple B together for 20+ years, children etc. The couples have known each for a couple of years. Not particularly close but have always got on well in social situations. This particular night, everyone getting quite but still lucid. Wife B is paying particular attention to Husband A. Husband B is elsewhere (at the party), Wife B is sitting at Husband A's shoulder. Wife B is talking directly to Wife A, says "My husband (Husband B) really does like you (Wife A), but not as much as I (Wife B) like Husband A."

This has caused some stress in Couple A, as Husband A cannot see any issue. Is Wife A being unreasonable to think Wife B has just signalled a very "special" or "creepy" interest in Husband A and that Wife B was being somewhat insulting towards Wife A by saying this so openly? .

I would assume orgy invite

Swingers

They are probably swingers

You've been invited to a wife swap 🤢

Yep this is a bit over-friendly and I would suggest it was a hint at a sexual thing x

I'd say that was a swinging invite.

Swingers. Husband A is flattered by the comment and doesn't see your issue with it because of that.

Ha ha. Defo swingers. What was she offended by? The fact the woman wanted to shag her husband or that the woman’s husband didn’t want to shag her so much?

Wife swapping

My advice- make sure that you and your new partner get the best house and the least trouble children.

I am assuming you are Wife A. And I would assume it was a not so veiled invite for either partner exchange or group sex rather than an insult.

Swingers

Was there a bowl full of keys anywhere by chance?

Are they called Donald and Jacqueline?

Or pampas grass outside?

Pampas grass anywhere?

Does sound like an invitation for swinging.

As to whether it crosses a line, depends very much on the nature of the friendships and the people involved. I can imagine this without comment among some people I know, in other circles would be a high crime. I assume you're Wife A?

Husband A really thinks that was a totally normal and acceptable thing to say??

@IceColdCat. Does not seem to see there might be an issue. Seems obvious though, surely? Will add that Wife B's tone/gist was that Husband B not interested in Wife A sexually.

I’m surprised by the responses, to me wife A sounds completely neurotic. It seems like just a bit of tipsy/drunk flirting.

My mums neighbour asked her if she’d be into swapping husbands. She said ‘What for? A camel?’

Yeah I say wife swap or 4some as well

Good one beryl

@Reginabambina. Wife B had about 15 minutes previous, asked Wife A to "go and fix us (Wife B & Husband A) a couple of gins".

Oh God - they haven't got pampas grass in their front garden, have they?!

I'd say wife A was suggesting a 3some.
