I’ve woken up today SO annoyed with myself!
Me and DH have a large social circle, and met with some of them yday for a few drinks.
A month or 2 ago, some of our group became friendly with a new woman (early 40s, single, likes to dress a certain way ie full make up, skimpy clothing). DH came back from meeting some of them and said this woman was quite flirty with him and he shut her down very quickly (another friend also told me this).
Ive only met her once, pre the above happening. HOWEVER, last night after a couple of glasses of wine, I may (definitely did) have called her a not very nice name (she wasn’t there, this was to our friends who we’ve known a decade).

Waking up this morning, wishing I hadn’t - especially as one of our group can be quite shit stirry.

No issues with DH or our marriage, but I do get pissed off if someone behaves in a disrespectful/ inappropriate manner. I haven’t seen/ wasn’t going to say anything to this woman as DH shut her down but I’m now worried I’ve opened a can of worms for myself 😩

Yeh of course everyone gets it.

It's not called the "beer fear" for nothing! Everyone gets post-piss up tristesse.

One of the very many reasons I don’t drink alcohol.

Just had an abusive message from her now. Oops!!! Not sure how I rectify this now 😬

I'd be more pissed off that one of your 'friends' told her.

So, one person who makes a beeline for someone else's husband, and another who's a grass. Never mind the drink, you could do with better friends tbh

⬆️ This.

It has nothing to do with the drinking. I probably would have said the same thing stone cold sober.

I agree! Distancing myself immediately! Feels very immature/ playground situation. Have messaged back and cleared the air as I’d rather not have the grief but will rethink friendship group x

So this 'lady' comes on to your husband
I'd turned/ shut down and has a go at you?
I think my only response would be keep your paws to yourself you Trol*p.
I certainly wouldn't play nice.
Was the friend who told her single - or happy to have her husband chatted up.
Unbelievable

You sound like a bit of a drama queen tbh, and one who likes judging other women at that. How dare she wear makeup and skimpy clothing eh? Sounds like you're in the perfect group of friends, and could all do with getting over yourselves.

That's not even bad, I thought it was going to be I pissed myself at the works do.

Weddingpuzzle · 11/06/2023 16:27

What was the not very nice name you called her?

Definitely get beer fear and hangxiety myself but I would even feel bad if I was sober and name called. It's a shame as she'll probably feel good for getting to you!

So the convo that the ‘friend’ who grassed started, was that new woman was sleeping with another man in our friendship group. I called her a slapper - and have apologised for this as it’s not a nice thing to call someone.
apparently this rumour was completely unfounded in the first place, so now thinking grass friend is stirring the pot in numerous ways!
