What is wrong with some women!

Went out for a few cocktails with my husband Saturday evening, we were sat at the bar having a lovely time. I went to the loo and got chatting to some girls in there. Later in the evening they passed us and said hi and stopped for a chat. One was local and one was not - the local girl was mid 30's, single mum. We are older - she could be my husbands daughter! I didn't notice anything odd then as we left it turns out she asked my husband for his number!! What on earth! I mean his ego is now bursting out but we were amazed at the absolute brazenness of it all. Am still horrified that someone would do that - even when i was young and single I'd never dream of doing that.

Obviously you husband is irresistible to local "girls".

Pixiesgirl · 13/05/2024 10:13

Probably got an onlyfans that is not very populated with fans.

He’s not a gardener/window cleaner/accountant or something that she may want his number for work wise is he?
and he’s spun it to look like it’s something more seedy?

Solidlump · 13/05/2024 10:14

So what did your DH say to her when she asked him for his number?

KimberleyClark · 13/05/2024 10:16

Is this a stealth brag!

Shiningout · 13/05/2024 10:17

It's not really a big deal I'd just laugh it off. Plenty of men give their numbers to others on a night out. She probably had too much to drink and had the beer goggles on

GaryLurcher19 · 13/05/2024 10:17

Was it definitely a come on? She couldn't have been asking in order to keep in touch with you both?

YoureStuckOnMeLikeATattoohoohoo · 13/05/2024 10:18

Sure she did 🤣

I think your dh might be trying to make you jealous.

No - definitely nothing like that - he looks great for his age it was just awful

I would be asking my husband about the words used in that exchange.

Even if she was trying it on with him YABU to ask what is wrong with some women. The problem is that woman in that circumstance.

IncompleteSenten · 13/05/2024 10:19

Some people are just scummy.

Definitely not - I just don't understand why someone would try to get someone's husbands number its grim

Obviously no - he was literally sat next to me. He's not that guy - we generally only go out together, have been happily married for years.

GaryLurcher19 · 13/05/2024 10:23

Did you hear exactly what was said, OP?

Solidlump · 13/05/2024 10:23

Sorry I wasn't implying he gave her the number. I was wondering if he had some conversation with her about why she wanted the number/ thought it was appropriate to ask him for it.

Giveupnow · 13/05/2024 10:27

also interested- did she ask for his number when you were right there/ did you hear it? Or is this just what your husband said happened?

Harara · 13/05/2024 10:31

I’m unclear from your post whether she understood that he was married? If so YANBU. If you’re just saying how could a woman ask an older man she thought was single for his number at a bar, YABU obviously.

She totally knew we were married - I'd been talking to her and her friend. It was the absolute brazenness of her thinking she could do it that horrified me

I was sat next to him - I'd been talking to her friend and she was talking to him. I didn't hear her ask him but he's not the type to make it up.

GaryLurcher19 · 13/05/2024 10:37

What did she actually say, OP? Because it's not impossible that your DH could be mistaken about her intentions.

Pixiesgirl · 13/05/2024 10:41

Why do people by default doubt the op's perceptions? She was literally there. She was being a twat, whatever her intentions.

CurlewKate · 13/05/2024 10:41

It was the way he drank his Coke...(one for the ...er...older girls there)

loropianalover · 13/05/2024 10:45

Cheeky. Your husband should have let out a big guffaw at her and turned to ask you what the house number is!

Well the womans intentions do matter: a pp suggested she may have asked for the number to keep in touch with both OP and her DH.
Presumably when the woman asked for the number there must have been some conversation about it . I think it does seem really out of order for the woman to have asked but it is possible there was some innocent explanation.
We don't know without knowing the conversation around it.
