Women flirt with my DH infront of me

I find it so odd but they actively flirt with my DH infront of me. It goes completely over DH’s head, he’d a good looking guy and approachable, we was out for a rare night out on Saturday and with us mid conversation a few women would come over and compliment his shirt, say how familiar looking he is, asking if they know him etc..

He definitely doesn’t play away, faithful as an old sheepdog 😅, it’s all infront of me so nothing untoward, he doesn’t act sheepish and is an open book. I don’t get pissed off about it, infact I don’t say a word, just watch the conversation unfold smiling away 😂

But isn’t it odd?! I wouldn’t and have never gone over to a guy clearly out with another woman (we both have clear wedding rings on, touchy feely and snogging each other’s faces off most of the night) and start a conversation.

Has anyone else experienced this?

It had been so long since we’d had a night out together I’d forgotten that it happens 😆

Gawd, the cuntery on here… A nest of vipers.

That’s all mumsnet is these days. It seems to be getting worse and nobody can have a lighthearted thread anymore, so many women on high horses.

I also don’t buy the “DP is stonkingly handsome but he’s just sooooo oblivious”. Every single attractive man I’ve ever known has known they’re good looking, not always in an arrogant way but they certainly know they’re above average, usually from their success rate with women, that tends to be how men look at things. If he doesn’t know he’s attractive it’s probably because he’s bang average to the majority of the population, and there’s nothing wrong with that!

My DP is definitely a 'type'. He's one of those people who people naturally get drawn to as well.

Lots of people find him attractive but lots wouldn't. I think he's gorgeous (obviously) but he doesn't.

He always gets attention from men and women but never disrespectful attention. I don't believe that women regularly behave like that to innocent men.

My ex used to have a real issue with it and I can hardly be stunning as he cheated repeatedly

@hourbyhour101 Flowers

My dear - cheats don't cheat because they are irresistibly lured by the siren call of beauty. They cheat because they think they deserve to break the promises they expect you to keep, because they feel entitled to cake (see ChumpLady), & because servicing their ego is way more important than fidelity. Or their partner's mental health & happiness.

Please don't sell yourself this false narrative. Of course you are stunning - even your ex thought so, although his opinion is valueless. Your DH thinks so. All the people who chat you up - or even just chat on a friendly basis to you - think you are stunning/approachable/worthwhile/ a decent person.

I have had a really tough day. But this made me well up. Thank you for being so kind.

I'm 99% sure it's just I have a friendly face and everyone's just being friendly .

My ex well I'm sure he had he's reasons, his mum said it was because I made him insecure but when I asked what I did she just waved her hands at me and said all that (I wasn't dressed up at the time jeans and a top) so I don't know what that meant but I got the impression it was my fault anyway.

Looks fade but kindness doesn't. Thank you and I'm gonna go have a read.

I'm very blessed to have my now DH and friends ❤️

I’m glad I read this post . Recently met a man that I’m convinced I know from somewhere… it’s driving me crazy! could be that he just looks like someone famous and I was planning on asking him next time we met but thought it may be misconstrued as flirtatious (not my intention!), and clearly , it would be! I will definitely refrain now.

hourbyhour101 · 08/12/2022 19:53

@CellarBellaatemycoal I don't think asking him where you know him would be considered flirtatious unless you then go on to flash your boobs, grab his bun or ask him where's he's staying tonight.

That's only just my opinion though and others may think differently.

Not sure if you're being serious or not.

That wouldn't be construed by anyone as flirting because it's not. Most women can tell the difference between a conversation and flirting... 🙄

Of they are flirting in front of you with your husband, I would take that to mean that they have zero respect for you, they don't care about being homewreckers potentially, and they think they are clearly better looking than his wife so they have a chance! They think they can compete with you. Honestly, I'd call them out on it there and then, why let it happen? My partner wouldn't stand for men flirting with me in front of him either. It's disgusting behaviour from disgusting people.

Saxiee · 08/12/2022 20:09

And asking where you know him from... It's not flirting if you just ask. It depends on what else is going on - your body language, the way you say it, the look in your eyes... People flirt without being direct all the time. "Do I know you from somewhere?" Could definitely be said in a flirtatious manner. Just don't look him and up and down with sultry eyes while you give a sexy smirk or anything haha
