Oh my god, you're nuts. Op, you're fine. These people, including your wife's friend, are crazy. |
| Actually, the fact that your conversation didn't look so innocent to a third party who knows you and your wife is telling. Blame yourself, not your wife or her friend. IMO you're way too invested in this random situation. You upset/embarrassed your wife, genuinely apologize and get yourself together. |
+1 Thank you. |
+1,000. This. OP, for outgoing people it is easy to have conversations in random places. But seriously, man, get it together with your d*ck, and start wooing your wife for real. |
I disagree. It probably energized him. |
| Your wife’s friend was messy. Your wife is messy. You were fine. |
| I have these convos all the time and I don't even work. I'm married, not dead, and DH knows it. Yes, I'll flirt. Yes, I'll have talks with people I find interesting. I enjoy attention from the opposite sex but it never goes further than talk. |
This is ridiculous! If you have a husband, God help him. |
| Maybe. I go with whatever I feel in the moment. That is the kind of life I want. |
+1 I don't avoid having a conversation with someone because they are a male unless of course it's VP Pence! And when I have a conversation with a male I don't de-neuter myself to throw up a wall of safety. I don't intentionally flirt but I'm always friendly. |
| Bit*hes be cray, cray. I am decent looking, slim, middle aged married woman. I talk to random men! Because I don't live in Saudi Arabia! So many women(and men) confuse love with codependency, it is an ugly trait to have. |
Only busy bodies like you would think about anything like that. Being a busy body is being nasty. Like 100 years ago when grandmas set on the porch or bench in front of houses, yards and saw a girl from the same village/town walk down the street towards her house with a boy!! Then she got home and a bit later got a beating, because she was a whore! And she was just walking the same way home as the same village boy who goes to the same village school and went to the same store to buy dad cigarettes! And here you are, 100 years later still doing the same exact crap to your own effing gender. |
| What a silly situation and we can’t comment because we were not there. Maybe you or her were a little too touchy feely and the friend saw that? Maybe she saw that the girl was really into you and you were too dumb to notice and back away? Agree with others, fix youR sex life |
| Ha, I think your wife posted a thread how she is no longer attracted to you! 260lbs! You weigh more than most NFL pros and are not super tall. And you are not initiating clearly, so given this info she might be right to be suspicious. If I wasn't having sex with my DH for over a year, my first thought wouldn't be ED, but he is cheating. |
NP here, and I have to agree with PP. OP, you didn't do anything wrong. Your wife's friend sounds like a troublemaker. As for your wife, you might want to consider thinking through why she has allowed her friend's troublemaking behavior to agitate her so much. |
