[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't.

You had no idea obviously.

Just a bad mix-up...Nothing else.

You did not a thing wrong so do not place any blame on yourself for this one.

The husband is the one who overreacted in my opinion.

OP didn't do anything wrong, but we don't know whether the husband overreacted. Maybe his wife is unfaithful. [/quote]
So what if she is, her husband should be discussing it with her, not some random person in a coffee shop.  Unless husband had reason to suspect that this was his wife's affair partner?[/quote]

Mate guarding. Some women find it sexy.

Not on point, but when I did a search for "mate guarding," I found this scientific literature: 
http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/comm/haselton/papers/downloads/haselton_gangestad.pdf

"Thirty-eight normally cycling women provided daily reports of sexual interests and feelings for 35 days. Near ovulation, both pair-bonded and
single women reported feeling more physically attractive and having greater interest in attending social gatherings where they might meet men.
Pair-bonded women who were near ovulation reported greater extra-pair flirtation and greater mate guarding by their primary partner. As
predicted, however, these effects were exhibited primarily by women who perceived their partners to be low on hypothesized good genes
indicators (low in sexual attractiveness relative to investment attractiveness). Ovulation-contingent increases in partner mate guarding were also
moderated by female physical attractiveness; midcycle increases in mate guarding were experienced primarily by less attractive women, whereas
more attractive women experienced relatively high levels of mate guarding throughout their cycle. These findings demonstrate ovulation-
contingent shifts in desires and behaviors that are sensitive to varying fitness payoffs, and they provide support for the good genes hypothesis of
human female extra-pair mating."

I wonder if the woman in the coffee shop was ovulating and found her husband's attractiveness to be a little disappointing. [/quote]
