[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife is pretty damn hot and attracts men to begin with.  Add the fact that she has no idea that she sends them the wrong signals and you have a recipe for unwanted advances from the spouses of our friends.  I have to tell her sometimes that her love of "being one of the boys" gets taken just like it was taken in college - she's trolling for sex.  She gets very upset with herself over this because she's just trying to have fun.  I kind of feel bad for her because it has caused problems with friendships to the point of the wife of one our friends approaching me to ask if my wife was hitting on her husband.  I explained that she doesn't know the boundaries and gives people the wrong impression and encouraged her to approach my wife directly.  They are now closer friends than ever.  Of course, the husband got a talking to by both my wife and his wife for making his intentions with my wife known (the idiot told his wife he wanted my  wife and that the feeling might be mutual).  We've moved on, he was embarrassed and I simply said "Hey, I can't blame you I'm in love with her too."

I have to manage my wife's eagerness and naive look at life.  She will call a guy and ask him to a drink because she wants a line on a client or a job prospect.  She has no idea that he thinks/hopes it's a date leading to an affair.  I have to remind her what they are thinking when she innocently goes about her business with them.

On my side it's easy - I don't have friend's wives' numbers, email address and I don't friend them on facebook.  I stay away from contacting married women outside of normal business.  I have a clear barrier - I dont' think it's right for me to call a friend's wife for any reason.  this keeps trouble from happening.  You can't crash a car you never even drive.  [/quote]

Bull:

A)  your wife flirts with your approval by pretending that she doesn't understand that what she does is inappropriate

B)  the guy who "mistook" your wife's sexual advances for...sexual advances was "in love with her."

C) your wife allegedly is incapable of learning boundaries

Your wife is ripe for an affair, one that she will pretend to you was "accidental" because she is so "naive."[/quote]
