But I never worked in your building. :shrug:

A few buildings over, yes, but not in your actual building.

You're still my favorite, by the way. :smoochy:

So, are the rumors flying yet? :roflmao:

:lol: Not sure, I don't usually pay attention to them. :biggrin:

Rumor me this: I put your gravy on my meatballs and my wife really enjoyed it.

Why are people trying to pick apart libby's marriage? For all intents and purposes it sounds good, solid, traditional, and it works for them. I don't see anything she said as denoting insecurity or mistrust. As someone who has been soured on the institution of marriage, libby and her husband give me some inspiration. Libby, you're too sweet to say it, but you should tell the armchair psychologists to kiss your butt.
In the past I've often found that people, in a relationship, deny the very thing they dislike because it keeps the peace. I'm not at all saying that Libby does this but, if she wants that type of control over her social life, fine; I just wouldn't. If her DH's jealousy works for her, rock on. I've seen too many ladies, who SEEM like they're in a good relationship, come back years later saying that he was too controlling and was suffocating them.
Oh for Heaven's sake. I'm not even going here.
Nice! Sorry if I hit a nerve but you & I know my "values" and that I'm not a home wrecker.

Going back to your original post, I'd have NO problem with my wife coming home and telling me that some guy gave her a sugar packet with his number on it while she was having lunch with the kids. Why would I? In a healthy relationship where trust is present, it would give her an ego boost and it would reaffirm to me that she is attractive.

Her reaction would be the most important thing for me to hear. Since I totally trust her, I know she would tell me that she told him she's very happily married. So why all the fuss? My point is simply: Trust is king!
Ding!
Even if nothing untoward happened, it still gives the little snigglers something to gossip about and make a big deal out of. Hell, look right here in this thread - the people who are trying to make a big deal out of Libby's husband getting hit on, then coming home and telling her about it. Not to mention the ones who are trying to convince her that she should go trotting around without him. *ahem*

"Oh, you must be very insecure!"
"Oh, he was trying to make you jealous!"
"Oh, you must not trust each other!"

People need to get lives of their own.
Since when do you care what others think about you? You are your own person and a very intelligent, independent lady.

All I'm saying is that, (even if Libby is happy with it) IMO, IMO, he doesn't trust her. Should she or her DH feel like I would be untrustworthy to sit and talk with, alone, in public? What if she & I worked together? Would he feel the same way? Where does mistrust end? Libby DID sound a bit snarky when she found out what Jennifer did at RR, so...

I care how people view my husband and chose not to put him in a position where other guys could think they had one up on him.

Stop hitting on Libby. She already told you no.

Have you ever been married? If so, did it end in failure?

Why are people who fail at relationships the first ones to give unsolicited analysis?
