Me and my husband got invited to a happy hour with friends tonight and he had to work but he encouraged me to go. 75% of the people there were couple friends of ours, there were a few single people and a new mom there that I seemed to really take to and enjoy talking to the first hour.
As the night went on I heard her talk about her husband and how he just didn’t like to go anywhere after work but she did so he was at home but it worked for them. She said "it worked for them" probably 10 times. As she kept drinking, I noticed how it didn’t matter, married or single, she was flirting, touching their shoulders, laughing at everything they said with every man there. It made me want to puke. I know my husband is 1000% responsible for his affair, I am not questioning that. I guess maybe I just saw it flash before my eyes of what lead to my husbands affair or how it started and I don’t understand why women/men have to do this? Why can’t women fight for each other and not hit on each others men, why can’t men resist this flirty desperate for attention girl or the other way around.
I don’t know how much sense any of this makes but it just really bothered me watching her bounce around talking about her happy marriage and acting the way she did. My husband asked me when I called him on the way home about her, because I had text him I met her ( our kids are new friends) and I told him I really liked her but unfortunately she is the type of woman I never want to be friends with because I don’t believe she is a girls girl and a woman that can act like that with another woman’s husband isn’t for me. He even said to me then what does that make me and why do you still want to be with me because I had an emotional affair. That was a tough question that I deal with everyday but I know I love him and he is remorseful and we are fighting and that is what we will continue to do.
