Would you tell your husband?

No.

I’m a kind of well off dude in my early 50s.
I got carded until a few years ago. Great shape.

Seriously the flirting or amount of women I could have nailed during my marriage are just noise. I am happily married and, while at times ego boosting, are irrelevant.

My wife does not care, nor would I (unless she took up an offer) as if you are a successful, decent looking person it happens all the time.

You sound seriously insecure.

Similar guy here- the amount of married, workplace women that are up for grabs is pretty shocking. I'm talking white collar, DC gigs. Women with graduate degrees, husbands, kids, etc owning houses in Old Town, Del Ray, Vienna,Mclean just literally up for the taking.

Yes, of course. I would just as part of how my day went.

One of these women was single and an across the street renter the same age as us.

Nope. I didn't tell him any of that. Why would I?

My neighbor has said that and yes, I told my husband. We had a good laugh over it.

While I am very good at keeping the conversation focused on business a number times I’ve been hit on by men and by one woman. I quickly decline and move on. I don’t tell my husband about what happened because no one ever got handsy or aggressive. Would you tell your husband?

Hiding things from your husband is a recipe for divorce.
The fact that you are even thinking about keeping something like this to yourself, shows that you don’t trust him. Your relationship isn’t based on trust and that’s a huge red flag.
Transparency is a must for a healthy marriage. You aren’t being transparent.
Tell him asap and come clean.

No, actually it shows that the person keeping the secrets cannot be trusted.

Maybe just to remind him what a lucky guy he is!! 💋

I’ve had this from two former friends early in the relationship with DH. One used to make “divide and conquer” comments with both of us around (e.g. “wow, Larlo, your driving is just so much smoother than your wife’s”) and the other literally used to make my DH cookies. Emphasis on “former.”

This is how our relationship works too.

Being hit on isn’t an every day thing for me though, so it it would be a unique answer to “how was your day?”

I would tell my husband because we'd find it funny. I can think of a woman I know whose husband would NOT find it funny so I doubt she'd ever tell him. Only you know your husband.

I've told him some funny stories around being hit on, but never just to tell him I've been hit on.

I'm the immediate PP and I mean this. I wouldn't necessarily recount every scenario because some are boring, but funny stories for sure.

I work in a very incestuous type work environment. Ive never cheated on spouse but I am very close to a couple of the guys I work with as far as banter/inappropriate conversations. Im not going to tell my spouse and give her things to worry about that aren't there.

This is interesting because you're a man but OP is a woman (I assumed that at least, she could be a man with a husband, sorry if I'm wrong). I am also a woman so I was considering the question from that standpoint but I do wonder if I'd answer differently if it were about a husband telling his wife.

Sounds like you don't trust him.
