[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like others, this would make me uncomfortable. But it's also sad a woman can't be friends with a man unless his wife is included.[/quote]

Does this apply to coworkers, too? There's a mid-60 year old woman at my husband's office that continuously throws herself at him (he is mid-40s).

I hit the roof when I found out they'd had 1:1 lunches during work. He was all, "but, her age?? And I don't find her attractive (she's not)" yet I'm sure she doesn't see it that way. [/quote]

This makes me so annoyed.  I am in a male dominated industry.   I can't invite a colleague out for a friendly lunch without his wife getting upset? Ugg, I have no sexual interest and if I were a man no one would blink.  [/quote]

I'm a woman in a male-dominated industry and your reaction to this is ridiculous. There is a HUGE difference between meetings with married men (without their wives) for work or even as friends if there is an established friendship, and what OP describes this woman is doing.

DH should just say to her that the invites to just him are getting uncomfortable and that he and his wife are happy to hang out with her, but he's not going to be seeing her without DW anymore.  Period, end of story, and DH can say it much more sympathetically than that but the bottom line that the invites are uncomfy and he's not coming alone has to be said clearly.

None of that stops you or me or any woman from having married guys as friends or meeting for work purpopses, but if a friendship wasn't established before, a newly single woman should not be expecting married men to become their BFFs without their wives around.  [/quote]
