[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, what is your impression of the friend’s relationship with her husband?  Does she talk about him in a positive way?  Does she seem in love with her own husband?  I would listen to my own intuition anyway and distance myself but that may be a clue.

Sometimes I worry that other women might think I am more interested or engaged in conversation with their husband.  In group activities I find I tend to talk to the men because I am more interested in what they are talking about (work, money stuff, politics, home improvement) than the topics women in my circle seem to talk about in groups (shopping, cooking, hair).  One on one I talk more to the women.[/quote]

It’s rude if you don’t spend a good chunk of time talking to the women. So, you might not be invited back and it might just be because you are kind of sucky in social situations, not because they think you’re into their husbands.
I had a big career in a male dominated technical field but I managed to spend a good amount of time talking to the ‘women’/‘moms.
You should put on your list ‘relating to people who are different than you’. It’s a life skill.
I don’t recall any conversations about ‘hair’, or ‘shopping’ or ‘cooking’. Mostly we shared things going on in our lives as it pertained to the kids.
I don’t see how you couldn’t discuss that some - I’m sure they found you rude. [/quote]

Wow, you managed to humblebrag, insult a stranger, and be totally judgmental and dense in one post!  You win.  Maybe you are not qualified to give social etiquette advice?[/quote]
