So an inlaw of mine evertime we hang out is always trying to help my wife cook, asking her to go out for smokes with him, asking her to cut his hair to the point when we all get together he spends more time with her. It bugs me a bit and even bugs my wide a lot she mentioned it numerous times and the last time I noticed her constant trying to get away from him but politely and just having to avoid it. I was just assertive and said bro stop trying to be close to my girl its getting old. It all blew up and now I'm the bad guy, did I go to far am I just jealous?
Now keep in mind the maffia and even my church have unspoken rules about not spending alone time and stuff with other guys spouses our healthy friends are all this way but my family comes from more ghetto unhealthy standards like my dad's a flirt and were all a little crazy but I've grown. Also this brother inlaw and his gf aren't married, they've both cheated on each other and they are always having problems and fights with their friends over everyone getting drunk amd flirting amd taking shit too far. I just want to know if im paranoid and jellous because I'm not afraid to set my boundaries at any cost and it's cost me a lot of friends. Possibly loser friends who I'm better off without though
You did the right thing, he was trying to bang her for sure. Shit that is the type of crap I would have done to work her, minus the cutting hair thing, that borders creepy.
Your girlfriend likely liked it a bit as well, who doesn't like attention, but didn't want you to shit on him too bad, so may have gotten defensive when you gave him shit. You did the total right thing. You need to mark what is yours. And she was likely starting to avoid him because she noticed it was bothering you.
As long as you don't freak out every time a guy hits on her, you'll be fine. Woman need attention from men other than just you to feel good about themselves. As long as you are doing what you need to, she will not leave. And when you see things getting too friendly setting a boundry is one of those things.
I see nothing wrong with harmless flirting, and was fine with my wife flirting, but she wouldn't have cut his hair or nothing like that.
I have had to deal with this for 25 years. My wife is damn good looking, even at 58 guys still drool on her. (Thank god she doesn't think she that good looking, or I never would have had a chance) I couldn't leave to go to the bathroom at a bar, or pub and some dude or dudes would be talking to her hitting on her. (until she turned 50, thank god it slowed down, even though it still happens)
My wife was from a small town originally, so she would just get nervous and pray I would get back soon. Later on she started to take care of these guys with her smart ass attitude, lol. Or we would be walking down the street and guys would whistle, didn't give a shit I was there, lol. Truthfully my wife liked it, but not in the, I'm going to cheat way, but it made her feel better about herself. I never freaked out on her though. Wasn't her fault. I used to tease her about how tough things are when you are so good looking that men do anything you want and drool on you all the time, like how do you stand it, it must be pure torture, lol.
But my wife and I hang out and talk to each other all the time, we are each others best friends.
I would just explain to her about how it bothered you. Unless you have already done this. I believe the key is if you have a woman others want, make sure your relationship is good, and communicate and you'll have no worries. But yeah he was being a dick and you needed to set him straight.
