Following on from a thread currently in relationships -
I have loosely become friends with a woman in my road, we've had coffee together two or three times. She is disabled, has had MS for a long time and is now quite incapacitated. Her husband is fit and healthy, does quite a bit of sport. About a year ago I saw him with a woman, they were holding hands and clearly in a relationship.
The curious thing about it was that he clearly wanted me to see him - with a woman. He's always given me the eye a bit, seemed to want to impress me. I saw him at a local beauty spot, I was with a friend, deep in conversation, and I doubt I would have seen or even noticed him if he hadn't made himself completely obvious, getting into my line of vision, turning his head so I could clearly see it was him. It almost looked like he was showing off.
I've since given him the cold shoulder, moreorless, when I see him; not obviously blanking him, just making no effort save a perfunctory nod/pithy 'greeting' in response to his usual bounding greeting (alone, not with his wife) when I see him in the road. I don't appreciate being put in a compromising situation.
Subsequently, the wife is now very cool with me. I resolved to back off, don't want the hassle. But now I'm not so sure - should I tell her?
I've even been wondering if he has an identical twin. Mental.
