Husbands female friend being too much

Been married 4 years, me 40 Dh 43, ww have 3 children

About a month ago DH got to know this bisexual woman at work. Shes single.

Anyway, at first she started tagging along to the gym with him. Then things became more obvious that she fancies him.
Shes been:

Ringing him daily, voice messaging, texting daily, even when hes at home with me, at night, and first thing,

asking him for favours all the time in her garden, house, doing jobs for her, hes been going there to do stuff for her
Shes played the damsel in distress when an incident happened at work, (warehouse work) she rang him again for attention, when she could of rung anyone, like her mum, other work colleagues etc

She asked him in a disciplinary with her as support

Shes constantly all over him on fb
Shes been rude and standoffish to me when I met her once

And most infuriatingly is shes been sending him pictures of stuff which look innocent but slyly, to me it stands out such as of her legs, with her dog sat on them, but its clearly showing her legs off and it looks definitely intentional. Other things have been going on also which are suspicious to me.

Yes, I have had it out with him over it and he genuinely seemed shocked that i thought that way and said shes just one of the lads/a mate/ friends and he gets no vibes off her shes attracted to him. Ive asked him to back off/cut her off and he hasn't .

Am I over reacting to it/being unreasonable??? Its really really pissing me off. I dont want to act like the possessive wife, yes he can have female friends but this is blatantly taking the absolute mick. Its really hurtful and I feel like I'm going to lose my s* over it.

I'm so pleased for you @Mrstiggywinkle44

You've handled this so well.
Glad your DH has come to the right conclusion

I still wouldn't be happy @Mrstiggywinkle44 .

I wouldn't get over that in a few days or whatever. Suppose it depends how he behaves from now on and if and when he makes you feel more considered. That would take a while for me if I were in your position. It would take a while for my comfort in the relationship to come back from that.

I'm far from over it. Feeling happier yes, but its put a spanner in the works for sure. Hes /she/ the situation is being closely monitored.

It sounds better, OP, just don't lower your guard too much.

They may well have just gone under your radar. I really hope not.

This is exactly it xx 😘 ❤
