Need to know circs including hubbies actions/ response in order to answer.

YonicProbe · 13/11/2016 21:46

Talk to your husband about it.

Man eater?!

Threecherries · 13/11/2016 21:47

I wouldn't do anything...well, there is nothing to be done is there?

People flirt. How your H reacts is the important thing.

SilentBiscuits · 13/11/2016 21:48

Does your husband need protecting from this predator or is he able to fend her off by himself?

BubbleGumBubble · 13/11/2016 21:51

Unless she is chewing on his left arm I am not sure what you can do.

If he is uncomfortable can ge just not say I am married or walk away from her.

AyeAmarok · 13/11/2016 22:01

What does your husband think of her?

Lolaandstan · 13/11/2016 22:10

Hubby comments on posts on fb. Her posts are a bit flirty. It makes me feel a bit stupid. Getting more regular. I trust my hubby but she loves herself loves attention and is clearly trying to get some from hubby.

Well, if you trust your husband just ignore her. He can deal, surely?

PoldarksBreeches · 13/11/2016 22:12

Your problem is your hubby, not the man eater

OohhThatsMe · 13/11/2016 22:14

Oh come on, it's obviously something that is worrying the OP - yes, it's up to her husband to deal with it, but it's very irritating, isn't it?

AndTheBandPlayedOn · 13/11/2016 22:15

I agree with PoldarksBreches. Why is your dh even responding to her at all?

No it's not just her with her dh. Decent people don't go after married people

I hate that fecking line trotted out on MN.

I trust my dh 100% but I'd be bloody annoyed with someone chatting him up.

KeepCoolCalmAndCollected · 13/11/2016 22:16

Tell him to block her.
Personally, I would just do it myself.
If contact is still maintained through other means, you have a problem.

SmallBee · 13/11/2016 22:17

You don't need to do anything with this 'maneater '. If you're uncomfortable with how your husband is behaviour is around her then it's your husband who is the problem. Have an adult conversation with him about it.

Threecherries · 13/11/2016 22:18

How do you think your H would be reacting if it was a man coming on to him on FB?

Like I said, people flirt.

AyeAmarok · 13/11/2016 22:18

Ah.

Your problem is your husband. Not this woman.

SmallBee · 13/11/2016 22:18

Behaviour = behaving. Stupid phone

KeepCoolCalmAndCollected · 13/11/2016 22:18

Arfarfanarf is spot on.

YonicProbe · 13/11/2016 22:20

So she posts, "hot in the garden ;-)" wearing a bikini and he comments... That sort of thing?

MsGameandWatch · 13/11/2016 22:20

"Man Eater"

Grin I must find a way to use this term in my every day life.

Bluntness100 · 13/11/2016 22:22

I would agree, deal with uour husband, if you don't like him interacting with him then tell him to please stop as it's upsetting uou,

Maneater is quite an unusual term these days. Saying she loves herself and loves attention, do uou know her? If she's flirting wnd it's escalating, then it's because he's paying her attention.

She is Not the problem, he is.

Lolaandstan · 13/11/2016 22:22

Yes I will talk to him. I don't like having to say bock her. Don't want to look like a jealous nutter. I want to protect my family and i just want her to stop thinking its ok to flirt. She has done this to a friend of mines partner too.

Well, in some circles that is normal. My DH is quite verbally flirty, and that's ok. I don't mind. In other relationships it isn't. That's also ok. But she doesn't magically know what your relationship boundaries are. Only your DH knows that so it's up to him to maintain them.
