Jealous or Realistic?

Anonymous
My husband is about to take a job leading an all-female organization.

He is honest, faithful, charismatic, and oh is he handsome!

I am uneasy about his potential new status as the only man in a sea of attractive women (the industry is arts related and the women are sharp).

Help calm me, DCUM!

Seeing as I've been binge watching Mad Men over the last few weeks, I'm not the right person to ask.

I'm kind of pissed that a man will be leading all the women. What gives? Why not a man in that position?

As for your husband, whether he cheats or not is not related to this.

Why not a WOMAN in that position? Even my fingers got it wrong.

There is no bigger turn-off than lack of confidence and desperation. Believe in your amazing self, your sexiness, your brains and in your marriage. Oh, and unless HE gives you a reason not to, believe in him.

Is he coaching a women's basketball team?

No. There are a handful of men but the huge majority of employees are women. He is in a niche that is predominately male and it's not a sexist hire. His boss is a woman. He is not the top of the top.

The overwhelming majority of my DH's work colleagues are women. In my opinion you are starting to look for problems before there's even any reason to do so. That reflects negatively on your faith in his commitment to you.

What organization in the world is all-female? A monastery?

Being jealous will do no good and will only make his hot team look all the better - decide to trust him and be comfortable with it unless you have reason not to.

Many many men work with some attractive women and don't cheat (same go for women)

Working with one woman makes him just as likely to cheat as working with 20. Meaning- if he's the type, he'd find opportunity. If he's not the type, then absolutely nothing to worry about.

I'm not sure that cheating is OP's concern, per se (feel free to correct me, OP). I'm thinking that maybe she's uncomfortable with DH being the target of so much female attention that could lead to sexual tension, not necessarily temptation. Based on many of the comments I've read throughout DCUM it seems to me that women (and I say women because they are the ones who seem to comment the most) are just as concerned about a man's guilty mind as his body. Maybe even more so. "He can look, just not touch." Eh, not so much I think.

I think it's realistic to be jealous, OP. They will be picturing him naked, and he will probably do the same. But with any luck you'll be having some of the best sex of your life.

I'm sure their feminine hearts will all flutter when your DH comes around. Because that's what they are there for. And they don't have families and men of their own. They couldn't possibly. Everyone is focused on him. Everyone. Because he's JUST DREAMY!

hey feminazi, perhaps he is the best person for the job - you know, the only qualification that matters.
