Summary: My husband\u2019s colleague \u201caccidentally\u201d spilled her drink on him at his company event. Then, she practically crawled into his lap to \u201chelp\u201d him clean it up. <\/p>\n
I\u2019d been watching her flirt with him all night. She even winked at him and this
\nwas the last straw. Details: My husband\u2019s company hosted a big event, and it was the first time I got to meet his colleagues.<\/p>\n
One of his female coworkers kept glancing at him. I brushed it off initially. Then she winked at him, and one of his friends jokingly said, \u201cLooks like someone needs some one-on-one time!\u201d That\u2019s when I\u2019d had enough.<\/p>\n
I leaned forward and said loudly, \u201cIf you\u2019re done making eyes at my husband, perhaps we
\ncould all enjoy a professional evening?\u201d
\nThe silence that followed was deafening. The colleague, <\/p>\n
Sarah (34F), turned bright red but then had the audacity to laugh it off. \u201cOh honey, Tom and I have been working closely together for years. We\u2019re just comfortable with each other. No
\nneed to be so insecure.<\/p>\n
Some context: My husband Tom (36M)
\nand I (32F) have been married for 5 years. He\u2019s a project manager at a tech company, and Sarah joined his team about two years ago. I\u2019ve heard her name mentioned in passing, but Tom never indicated any ISsues. <\/p>\n
Throughout the evening, noticed more
\nthings that made my blood boil: \u2022She kept finding reasons to touch his
\narm while talking
\n\u2022 She brought up inside jokes from their
\n\u201clate night project sessions\u201d \u2022 She positioned herself to sit across from him at dinner, maintaining intense eye<\/p>\n
contact \u2022 She \u201caccidentally\u201d spilled her drink on his lap and insisted on helping him
\nclean it up Tom seemed uncomfortable but didn\u2019t say anything. When we got home, he was upset with ME, saying had embarrassed him in front of his colleagues. <\/p>\n
He claimed Sarah is \u201cjust naturally flirty\u201d and I need to
\ntrust him more. I told him he was being naive and that if he couldn\u2019t see what she was doing, he was either blind or enjoying the attention. This
\nled to our biggest fight in years. The next morning, <\/p>\n
received a lengthy
\nemail from Sarah apologizing for any \u201cmisunderstanding\u201d but also saying she found my behavior \u201cterritorial and unprofessional.\u201d She CC\u2019d Tom and his<\/p>\n
supervisor on the email Now Tom is sleeping in the guest room, claiming I\u2019ve made his work situation awkward. His other colleagues\u2019 wives have been texting me mixed responses \u2013 some saying they\u2019ve noticed Sarah\u2019s behavior
\nbefore, others saying overreacted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
