My husband let his friends wife sit on his lap

A bit of back story, hubby and I have been together for over 15 years and have always had a trusting and happy relationship/marriage.

My husband has been friends with - let's call him Ben, for 15 years and I have met his partner let's call her Maria a couple of times, I would describe her as 'someone who likes the male gaze', and always noticed she would speak to the guys in the friendship group and not the girls - not for me but I have always been friendly and polite.

At the weekend Ben and Maria got married, and everyone had a great time. The morning after my husband told me after I went to bed, Maria came to sit with him and some friends, and sat on his lap, he said she could have his seat and he would move, but she said 'no it's fine', so she sat on his lap for about an hour while they all talked.

I just don't know what to do with this information. I feel disrespected by my husband and her and his friends. And am disgusted in all honesty.

I have never faced anything like this in our relationship. Should I just get over it and put it down to a drunken bad decision on my hubby's behalf?

I would appreciate any advice/thoughts 🙏

I literally have a professional photo from my wedding of my friend sitting on my husband’s lap.. doesn’t bother me at all. In fact I sit on his friends laps if we’re out socialising sometimes! Suppose it depends on you but it’s not something I’d be worked up about.

Sorry, but what does DH mean? Been wracking my brain as to what it could mean! 🙄

An hour?? Where was her new husband? I bet a lot of people thought it was odd.

Engaging in swinging may align with your preferences, however, it is essential to remember that not everyone shares the same interests.
