How would you feel if another woman told your husband they had feelings for him?

Thankfully this isn't about me personally for those that remember my other thread. A friend and I were talking today about it and her response was different to mine so I was just curious how others would react or feel if that happened to your husband?

We'd just have a little chuckle about it.

I trust my partner fully. I think it would probably still piss me off and I'd feel disrespected but I'd also feel a little sad for her. How horrible it is to have feelings for someone that doesn't feel the same, it's a very lonely place to be in. But I'm not the jealous type.

My partner however would not cope with someone telling me they had feelings for me. He is a jealous person and would be very angry. He fully trusts me and he knows he's the love of my life, but he would probably give the person a few words.

I think everyone would react differently. Depending on who you are as a person.

I think I'd feel very differently about that, TeetotalKoala, she sounds embarrassing and I'm glad it was sorted! I mean actual feelings rather than cringe flirting
She did actually tell him that she had feelings for him, it was her subsequent behaviour that was embarrassing. When he initially told me about it, I naturally bristled a bit, but the way he handled it by telling me had a huge impact on how I handled it. Because he was so honest with me, we were able to see her behaviour as pathetic.
