[quote=Anonymous]I just got home....my wife was accusing me of flirting with someone else based on a call she got from a friend.

My story: I WAS UP LATE LAST NIGHT (#ALLCAPS), and went to work early this morning.  I left work early because I was tired.

I decided to get some coffee at the coffee shop near our house.  While waiting for my drink I noticed a younger woman wearing a shirt which suggested we are in the same field of the sciences.  I said, Are you a (insert career field)?, And she said yes.  I am one too.  We got to talking, and talked for about 1/2 hours, mostly about what we do, and things like that.  In her career, she is doing the kind of work my daughter is interested in, so I mentioned that, and she went to a school that DD was interested (with the major she is interested in).  We were chatting about that, and some more stuff in general.  I do not think it was flirty (I can not really tell), but, I made my age clear, in that it is clear I am about her parents age.  I made no innuendos.  Really, friendly profession chatting.  I made it clear I was married.

A friend of my wife saw us, and called my wife asking about the young lady I was with.

When I got home, I was asked.  I told her.  She said she did not want me hanging around with younger women, and that I was clearly trying to set up a date.  I was not.  I do not think the younger woman thought I was (I could be wrong, as I am someone clueless).  I told her that.  Then I made my mistake.  I said, if I was going to do something, do you think I would do it our town, where everyone knows everyone else?

Now, she thinks that A) this woman meant nothing to me (true), and B) I might be flirting, but only in places I could get away with it.

Oh, we have been together for over 20 years.  For some reason, she thinks younger women would find me attractive.  I am 55, overweight (but tall, 6'2", 260+ lbs), and my hair is mostly there and mostly original color.  But, I am overweight.  Oh, and the plumbing no longer works (wife does not know it, because she has not tried it in over a year, when it worked).  [/quote]
