The Sonic Dreamer  User ID: 19453308 United States01/16/2013 08:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wow. Take a step back. You are obviously VERY jealous of this woman. Good. That shows you still care for your husband. Gratefully yours is an absolutely appropriate valediction. Do you really think what she really intended by "Gratefully yours" was: "Thanks for helping fix my car, now you can take me sexually whenever you want"...??? Take a deep breath, step outside yourself, and stop being so wrapped up in yourself. You are a selfish person by nature, just smile and think it is nice there are thoughtful kind people still in this world.

| Janus198 User ID: 875736 United States01/16/2013 08:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A woman (young, upper 20's - so around my age) was there with a card and some cookies for my husband who helped her with car troubles a couple day/a week ago. My husband was home so I gave him the items and he opened the card. It was a very nice card...and was signed "gratefully yours". huh? Actually when my husband was helping her SISTER, by the way not her with the car, I called. He did tell me that he was helping a neighbor with car troubles and he also told me he brought me up in the conversation. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23744571 Kind of a lot of nerves, not the gesture of the card and cookies, but the signature of "gratefully yours"... She said it was nice to know kind and warm hearted guys still existed and was happy to know he is her sisters neighbor. As nice as she was, I think she needs to learn some social skills and how inappropriate her gesture was. Or is it just me being defensive. Highly inappropriate of the chick. Hopefully your husband has the sense to throw out her card and gift, and ignores her forever. If he doesn't, you'll have to do it for him, or face the eventual cheating that will go on. Janus198 |

| Lada D User ID: 20712268 United States01/16/2013 08:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A few random thoughts: There are many days I wish my husband would have an affair. There's never really enough time for myself to do the things I'd like to do that he has no interest in. When some hottie takes note of my husband, it makes me feel good, that he's desired by others. I also have an internal chuckle at their expense, like "Ha! I dare you to try to put up with his shit..." When my husband takes note of a Hottie, I usually have to admit they are a hottie, and that makes me feel good about ME...He obviously has good taste, you see. So, IMO, whatever happens is win/win. Tell him don't get herpes, don't get anyone pregnant and don't wake me up if you get home after midnight. And if you have kids, all the better, since he will be around less and not filling their heads with nonsense. |

As nice as she was, I think she needs to learn some social skills and how inappropriate her gesture was. Or is it just me being defensive. To be honest I probably would have thought the same way as you are. But really I would have to just get over it pretty quickly and think she didn't mean anything bad by it, just grateful and showing her appreciation. Even if it was meant in the way you are thinking you must trust your husband wouldnt act on it :) |

Well, not all of us had the wisdom and foresight to avoid it like you have. If I could do it all again I would be single and childless and when a romance went south I'd move along. Why do we struggle so hard to hold together relationships that are clearly only meant to be temporary? Programming, I guess. |

Little miss grateful can turn into "SHOCK" pregnant fling in a heartbeat. A random thought: Let's say your husband gets someone else pregnant... Move them in? Help raise the child? Honestly, one more adult body in the house to help with cleaning, cooking and child rearing would be a welcome relief in a two-income situation. There's always enough food leftover for a third. Between the three of us, we wouldn't have to work so hard, and you might even find a new friend in her. So hard to make new friends after a certain age. |
| Razorbackkid User ID: 30229695 United States01/16/2013 09:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Don't let two words ruin your day. Even if an "invitation" was the woman's objective, you should put your trust into your own relationship with your husband. People flirt. I would bet that if you really tried you might come up with a conversation with someone of the opposite sex where you may have said something that could be "received" in the wrong way. But the bottom line is.....trust. Say thank you, comment on how nice the token of appreciation is and move on. God Bless. |

Now quit being jelouse and go make you husband some cookies and/or a sammich. Quoting: Professor McFluffles Good for you, OP! You came and solicited for direct answers, and you received some honest answers (along with the poor attempts at humor...seriously, some of the ACs who posted the "funny" replies could be writers for SNL! hehehe) And, you are well-adjusted and recognized your emotions and the humor in your reaction. I commend you for your maturity and that you asked for advice and were able to see through your emotions and reestablish intellectual control over your thoughts. Not many people have the ability to even comprehend this method of thinking and acting...nevermind actually implementing it. Proud of you, OP! You helped me today too!
