Dear Suze Q, We had a neighborhood bar-b-que, and I overheard the femme fatale, always over-the-top flirty neighbor say she was “proud” of my husband for losing weight. “Proud” caught me all wrong, it was too intimate a word, so I teased him. He blushed and said she probably noticed when they’d worked out at the gym at the same time. My gut says they’re having an affair or about to. Help, my heart hurts.
Dear Heart, Gut reactions should never be ignored. Calmly, tell you husband exact what you just wrote: “proud of him” was a strange, overly-cozy word choice; why didn’t he mention they’d worked out together; why more than once; why not tell you the second or third time; why did he blush? When you clearly ask if they’re having an affair, or in the early flirting stages before an affair, does he blush again? That gut-reaction might send you straight to a marriage counselor or divorce lawyer. -SQ
