[quote=Anonymous]Hey OP, sorry these responses are probably not what you want to hear, but they're right.

Look I'm a cute single mom. I'm fun, peppy, have my DD in all kinds of activities. I get side-eye from other moms in the beginning all the time and I handle it. I say hi to their husbands but I don't linger there in conversation. If we're texting about school stuff and I have to text the dad, the mom is on the chain. Is it annoying, because I have no designs on most of these shlubby guys? Sure. But I get it. Marriage is a slog, Covid sucks, it's now dark at 5p and you don't need your DH lighting up at the soccer game because some woman (any woman) smiled at them. We want to think we're all adults and strong, but the truth is we're all middle aged and any attention feels flattering. It is what it is.

Don't talk yourself into ignoring this. Your H is into it with the desperate housewife next door for some reason...does he need/want attention? Is he having his own "I'm shlubby" moment? Irritating, I know. You're like great, one more thing on my to-do list, validate this guy's ego. But PPs are correct that this slippery slope becomes vertical at some point. At minimum, sitter for the kids, bottle of wine, and sit-down talk between you two. Something's going on with him and hussy-next-door is a symptom, not a problem. You can do this![/quote]
