Why are women with husbands so jealous and hurtful towards other single women?

[beigebrownblue]

Ok. I'm divorced.

I have absolutely ZILCH desire to hook up with a man.

None. Nil. Nichts. Nada.

I have been taking myself out once a week to eat at a local restaurant. Not cheap, but it is the only break I get.

I have noticed that the woman who is mangeress of the restaurant is really off with me and does not seem to be able to accept my presence.

I dress down. For a long time I've not wanted to be noticed by anyone actually. Often I read a book.

Her other half cooks in the kitchen.

Why is it that she insists on being territorial with me, on this one?

Are women so threatened nowadays?

Yes, perhaps her other half has history, but why blame a customer?

She's just one woman.
She's not all of us, she's not even two.
Just one.

I’ve not come across this beige, I’d just assume she’s moody, not that she thinks I’m going to steal her man… some people are just moody.

Maybe you are overthinking it. Hope you enjoy your dinner.

This before*

Seriously?

You may be reading something into this situation that isn’t there. Maybe.

Is this all women with husbands or just this one woman?

How do you know she thinks you're after her husband? Maybe she's just grumpy with everyone?

Maybe it’s nothing to do with being threatened.

Maybe it’s just because you’re regularly taking up a table which could be used by 2 people (could be couple, friends, siblings, whatever) so she’s making less money from the table than she would if there were 2 x meals and drinks to charge for?

Perhaps there is something specifically about you she dislikes or perhaps you are misunderstanding her feelings. I’d be surprised if many women care whether you have a partner or not, regardless of whether they have one or not.

You can’t generalise or make any assumptions based on what you’ve said. It’s a very bizarre conclusion to have arrived at. Maybe find a nicer restaurant where you feel more comfortable?

Why do you think she's jealous or that it's got anything to do with her husband?

Does she know you are single? You aee reading too much.

Eh? Surely she wouldn't even know you were single? Weird assumptions you're making there.

You don’t know what she’s thinking! If you feel she’s unfriendly and it upsets you could try somewhere else for a change?

So one woman then?

WOW. You're a bit full of yourself eh @beigebrownblue

'Married woman is jealous of me, an obviously-super-attractive single woman, coz I may ensnare her man, (and I could have him if I wanted, so there!')

have this >>>

One woman who's mind you seem to have read

Sorry but you're reaching. I thought this would be about something your friend said, like stay away from her husband

What makes you think this woman is jealous? She doesn't even know that you're single

Yes this one married woman is a true representation of all married women in the land.

I'm single and eat or drink out by myself a lot. I've never had this. In fact, quite the opposite.

How do you know she considers you a threat to her marriage? That's a wild leap based on the "evidence" in your OP.

Why do you think it’s to do with her partner in the kitchen? Do you even know him or see him?

Go somewhere else to eat 🤷🏽‍♀️

Some women have a problem wit other women having the freedoms they don’t, some frogs can’t stand other frogs sitting on their logs…

My mum found this when she divorced. Lots of her married friends were very cool with her and stopped inviting her to dinner parties etc as a single woman. You can generalise but yes some women are like this.

I would go elsewhere.

I don't think I'd eat somewhere where I was treated in such a way.

Of course YABU. Assumptions and generalisations are all that you are offering.
