to be offended by this and quite speechless frankly?

[deanychip]

freinds of ours of 18 years. We have known the husband for much longer than the wife.
Lovely LOVELy friends and we think allot of them.

any way i went up to visit recently ,and while there, their baby girl was needing a nap so the wife took her up leaving me and the hubby alone in the living room chatting.
The wifes mother (bit of a Mrs Bucket type) comes in through the door and stops dead, looks at us both, and announces
"oh, fancy you being here alone, mind you i always thought that there was something going on between you two"

wtf???

LOL

Presumably she was joking?

Had she had a little too much sherry trifle?

no!! she sniffed indignantly whirls around and leaves....seriously!

Was she being ironic? What did the hubby say?

mad old bint

errr, is there any truth in it

Sounds like a loon. Has she loopy religious views about men and women never being allowed to speak to each other without a chaperone? Or is she someone who once had a cheating DP/DH and therefore judges everyone by her own unfortunate experiences?

is she very batty?

how odd. Reminds me of the grandmother in that film, what was it called? where she just spoke her mind and thumped the piano?

sounds like she is judging by her own standards

he just shook his head and carried on talking.

im really offended because what if my dh had been there, that could have cause an almighty row!
Also we both love them both to bits...like a brother and sister. never even thought of him like that, feel uncomfortable hugging him to say goodbye now, in case some one reads something into it.
What if the whiole family are thinking this but not saying anything???

Well if you and him are sitting there naked what do you expect really??

She sounds like she has ishoos with her SIL.

i agree with louii, you shoudl ahve worn clothes at least

nipple tassles when having coffee with a male pal a step too far do you think?

they can't have helped thematter, i am with mrs bucket on this

Does the wife know about her actions if not would def get in contact with her and "bring it up" so the mad old bint can't start shit stirring......

If they are your friends nad they presumably know what she's like better to talk and laugh about it than ignore completely.

Not quite sure how you would start the conversation tho' " do you realise your mother is barking" is probably not the way to go!

lol at nipple tassles

Why would it have caused a row if your DH had been there? Is your DH jealous of your friendhsip with the other husband?

no dh not at all jealous, he has been friends with the hubby for 20 years or more, it would never have crossed his mind. (meant if it were someone else, it could have cause trouble between them)

At the time i did mention it to the wife and she jsut laughed it off, convincingly that she thought it was funny and daft.

Don't worry. If the whole family thought this you would have got the hint by now!

Also friend wouldn't leave you alone with her husband if she thought you were up to something.

she ob knows what her mothers like your poor friend what a nightmare of a MIL

I think if the DH just shook his head and carried on talking to you, they're well aware of this battiness. Unless you were sitting in his lap at the time, I'd leave it well alone.

true!!

I am annoyed because she has made a great friendship uncomfortable with one nasty remark!

will ignore her completely and avoid her in the future.
