So there you go.

Back then, once a year I was required to attend this black-tie event in Detroit. It’s one of those formal, corporate things. I had been bringing my wife with me to it before we married. Brought her with me that night too. I had introduced her to folks I work with before, so she already knew most of them. But the “plate of food” woman was new like a few others that started with the company that my wife hadn’t met yet. That’s how they met.
I remember it like it was yesterday. My wife wasn’t mad, she just said “That woman in the red dress likes you. The one from your department. The way she looked at you every time you spoke. The way she tried to be near you without being obvious. Kept laughing at your stories a little too hard. Yeah… she likes you. I’m not worried and I’m not mad. Just wanted you to know I saw it.” Something to that effect. But she waited until we got to the car after the event was over to tell me. Long story short, she brought it to my attention so I handled it.
My wife has incredibly good discernment. A wife can sense (even without proof) when something “feels off.” It’s not paranoia, it’s discernment. Women know when another woman’s kindness has undertones, because they know the language behind the smiles. For some women, attention from a married man feels like a bigger “win” than attention from a single man. It’s twisted, but they see it as proof they’re desirable enough to pull someone already claimed. That’s why a lot of them don’t care. That’s all it is.

LMAO! She caught her ass. I get it though, I wouldn’t have caught it. Knowing me, I’d have accepted the plate of food offer not knowing. I didn’t know that was a thing until ol girl said it and what y’all are saying here.
After your wife told you what she saw, you shot that chick down fast Lol. You didn’t leave ambiguity or room for her to try again. And you were kind enough not to embarrass her, but clear enough that she wouldn’t misunderstand. I like that in you, PB.
