3rd wheel encounters when with DH

[Anonymous]

My DW does this! Answers the home phone from a number she doesn't recognize and starts engaging and scheduling appointments for "us" to meet with solar panel salesmen, investment advisors, etc. I'll refuse to engage and we get naggy calls and emails from them for weeks!

What would you suggest I do to not feel this way in the moment?

This is weird. Be glad you don't have to talk to strangers I guess? Wander off and look at something else?

Trust your gut. Your DH is chatting up someone else in front of you. Who does he chat up? How does he interact with you afterward?
