Husband

[MrsPetty]

My husband gets hit on a lot! I can totally see why. He’s a cool dude. But he wears a really visible wedding ring and we’re very happily married. AIBU to think all is not fair in love and war? We live in different countries and he tells me about some of the madder incidences. Just this week a woman asked him if he was married and he said yes, so she asked if she could be his cleaner or gardener! AIBU to think it’s shabby of some women not to give AF that he’s someone’s husband just because I’m not by his side 24/7?

Sounds like game playing to me which is weird at 65. I wouldn't tell my husband stuff like that if we were living in different countries. Living in different countries is a weird idea in itself when you are married. I bet you know that deep down too, else you wouldn't have started a thread about it!

Agree with this. You have to ask yourself why he wants you to know this.

Unless he is George Clooney he is lying to you, either that or he is incredibly old fashioned and believes if a woman talks to him she is hitting on him.
If he is 65 but you have children you can’t leave I am assuming you are a lot younger? I think he is worried you might stray in his absence.

Thanks for the comments. To be clear. My DH is not lying, he’s not deluded, I’m not in need of a reality check. I never said he was God’s gift, he doesn’t need to make me jealous, he is a decent, honest person. @Outofthepark living in different countries may be ‘weird’ for you but as I already said we’re very happily married - probably much more so than a lot of people who live under the same roof 24/7. This wasn’t an ‘am I being unreasonable to think my husband is a game playing, liar?’ This was a ‘am I being unreasonable to think it’s shabby for women to hit on a man who they KNOW is married’?

@jc12689 I didn’t at any point say it was on a ‘daily basis’.

I think I know him - is he a carpet fitter in a certain town in North Yorkshire? He said he was retiring?
I didn't hit on him. Nein Danke.
