I trust my husband however I'm really peeved that his work colleague friend sent him texts saying she keeps randomly wanting to hug him because he's so hugable.
She also texted to say he's looking gorgeous in his suit . She is married tho be it unhappily. I understand harmless flirting but feel this is a bit much. Is that normal behaviour?!? I've not met her and can't work out if I'm just being crazy and paranoid.

I think it doesn't help at his previous job there was a weirdo that kept emailing him after work saying she couldn't stop thinking about him( he showed me the email) and she only stopped when he reported it. And she bumped into me in the street when I was with him, was really nice and I thought I had misjudged her, but then she went back to the office and said" wasn't it awkward meeting your wife"

Am I a crazy needy person. Heelllppp

No you’re not because this is how affairs start with what people call “harmless flirting”. Your husband needs to tell these women to stop approaching him loud enough to embarrass them and make them go away unless he likes the attention and plans to do something unethical like violating his marriage vows. You say this woman is married too but “unhappily”, her own fault because I’m sure she never told her husband she was not happy and expected him to read her mind, you should inform her husband of what she’s doing with your husband because it’s called emotional cheating, send him the proof of the emotional affair and maybe insist on your husband either to block this woman on everything, which won’t really work because they still work together, or he leaves his job and finds another one or he informs HR and get her fired. If you don’t stop this now while it’s hopefully early then he’ll be having an affair with said co-worker.

He's flirting back and gaslighting you by telling u all about it and suggesting you all meet up (which is ludicrous). I think he is enjoying the attention from both of you

Unless your DH is 1990s George Clooney, then he is probably not as passive a partner in these two flirtatious relationships as he would have you believe.

How convenient that the first colleague happened to be a 'weirdo'.

You are not being unreasonable whatsoever. But the problem is him here -she might be crossing boundaries but it’s clear he’s not setting them, and from the previous situation it sounds like a pattern that he rather likes. Tell him to draw a clear line, it’s not okay that he can’t relate to a female colleague in a friendly way without keeping this flirty crap bouncing along. It’s wildly immature, and if it didn’t bother you then whatever, but since it does continuing to entertain it is disrespectful to you. She doesn’t get to use your husband for flirty entertainment, and he doesn’t get to pretend it’s nothing because it makes him feel good.

Nah, she's taking the piss, knows he's married so it's you she's taking the piss out of. She sounds like she doesn't care for boundaries but your husband should be shutting her down ... down down!!! As for the hotel stay, are plus ones being invited? coz I'd be going and maybe having a quiet little word with the piss taker

Agreed.
If it's possible, I would definitely go!

TheWorldisGoingMad · 11/04/2023 12:07

Maybe you should agree to meet. Then say to her, my husband shows me all your messages. It's not something I'd do with a married man, how does your husband feel about it? And watch her body language and see how she responds. Yes, she may not be married but she will feel uncomfortable knowing he shares the messages, even if he doesn't. Maybe do this when you have a moment together without your husband.

deedeeweewoo · 28/04/2023 17:05

show her how awkward it could be if you screenshot and sent to her husband with twice as many kisses!

slowquickstep · 28/04/2023 17:36

Your Husband must be bloody gorgeous if he keeps having women throwing themselves at him, all without him encouraging it in the slightest.

@PEEDOFFFACE any up date?

HappyMe6 · 07/05/2023 18:50

It does seem a bit weird it’s the second time this has happened in two dif jobs, I’d want to know why he’s not putting a stop to it, why does he want you to meet her? Knowing you don’t want to. 🚩to me
