[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH has a publicly addressed "work wife". She does everything for him, to the point he doesn't know how to use a scanner. He's not that "high up" in his workplace.. I think he just likes to delegate and feels important doing so. I've learned they have shared cocktails together after work, have gone to lunch alone together, starbucks, etc etc.  I addressed my husband and informed him that I'm uncomfortable and feel the boundaries have become gray. He responded that this is very normal behavior for a manager and his "work wife".

Is this normal? FWIW - she is about 15 yrs younger and single. good looking. so yeah, there is obviously a bit of natural jealousy on my part. [/quote]

I'm sorry, OP. It sounds like you feel really helpless in this situation. 
It also sounds like you feel dismissed by your husband for expressing your concerns.

I think you can see now from the responses that this behavior is not good.

How do you plan on handling it? In the past, have you had success getting your husband to see your point of view? Or does he dismiss you often?
