…Cont’d
Ok, obviously I don’t like little games. They don’t excite me, they piss me off. I think it’s ridiculous. I haven’t had the time for them for one, and for another I have been through enough crap over the years. So I tend to nip anything in the bud I don’t like. But maybe I’ve gotten too hasty? Do I think I don’t have to go through anything else? I’ve done my share? *snort* That’s just bull. Shit happens to everyone all the time and any time.
No. It finally just became clear. No. I will NOT deal with that. I will not roll my eyes and think she’s pitiful. I’ll think she’s pitiful but I’ll do more then roll my eyes. Roll her eyes maybe. Heh.
Because you know what? Life’s too iffy. I’ve had my life turned up side down in an instant way too many times. And if that’s wrong, so be it. I bust my butt, trying to be calm and look at all sides and think things through in everything else. I don’t have to on this. Besides Steve (hubs) will take care of it. He can’t stand women like that. Oh he likes women just fine, *rolls eyes, he’s a man* but NOT trampy, take your man, etc. types. I swear she gets off on that. ???? Flirting w/ another man especially when he’s married or whatever. Because everytime the band went on break she zeroed in on hubs as he was walking towards me, I’d walk towards him and she’d leave the second I got there. What is up with that? It didn’t even register with me at first. I just thought she was being nice. (I know. Duh.) Then I wondered why she didn’t like me. THEN I realized. *L* And I thought I was HASTY? What a dork.
Like I said, women do flirt with Steve. He rarely notices, or thinks a thing of it. She’d have to put him in a headlock to make him realize for heavens sake. But he’ll notice now if she does and he’ll just be cool to her then-or knowing him, he’ll ask her flat out what she’s trying to pull. So I said I’m used to it, *but* it’s different this time, she’s not some woman somewhere, she’s in the band. Because before the band had girls that followed them around, and were annoying, but I didn’t get mad like this. Besides Steve is approachable. Everyone likes him and they will tell him their life story. That’s why he’s great at his job. Poor guy, he gets all the unhappy or just rotten customers because he calms them down and makes them happy. *L* Which is weird because he’s not your ‘chatty’ fellow. He’s quiet actually, very private, respectful. But he’s straight with you and really doesn’t pull any punches either. If the customer is mad, and he’s just being a jerk, Steve’ll just say, well that’s the way it is, or whatever. There’s no BS with him. Which is of course why they trust and like him. OK. *slaps head*
Put simply I think I’d die if anything ever happened to him, or us. He says the same. I mean that’s how it is right? I think about it all the time, I’ve lost a lot of people, had some upsetting times…I don’t take things for granted. Or if I do, I catch myself quick I can tell you that. I even feel fear when I realize it.
I never used to take life so seriously, and in some ways I don’t. I mean I don’t go around with a sad, serious fade. *snort* Quite the opposite. Maybe I don’t take life seriously as much as I take people, the people in mine specifically, seriously. And you know, it’s been mainly the four of us. Just Steve, me and the girls that went places and did stuff. I don’t see him much, he’s always worked a lot, when I do, I don’t share with just anyone! That sounds terrible and I’d like to say I’m kidding, but I’m not. Luckily he feels the same. BUT therein lies the rub. Other people just don’t do want you want them to, so now we’re out more, and well there ya go.
So you’ve heard my sad little tale. Don’t ask me why I spent so much time on it. I don’t know. It’s rather blissful to be able to actually, now that I think of it. I just hope to heaven I am not going through some midlife crises and now I’m going to pounce on Steve looking for lipstick stains for heavens sake. Then he will be pissed. As I would be if he did that.
Nah, it’s okay right? I can be a jealous, protective wench once in awhile huh? Why am I so worried? Well the fact that my ex husband would be so jealous that he either beat up the guy or went after me, prob. has something to do with it. And both my dad and brothers are very possessive (but no they don’t beat on people).
That’s just not who I want to be.
Thanks for listening to me figure out I’m not. Now I’ll just go put my guts back in. *w*
I believe I’ll wait until others have commented. Being the first to say something (probably wrong) could put the whole male species chasing me down. 😉

Oh have we a coward at the top of the noters list or what?? (Only joking Kev!) Well here’s my pennyworth …. There’s flirting & there’s flirting & this woman is on a mission in my book. The telling sign for me is not getting to know you – she knows your husband so why is she making it so obvious she likes him when you’re there? And why is she not bothering to get to know you?

The very fact that you’re aware women flirt (harmlessly) with Steve but you instantly got different vibes with this one tells you a lot – listen to your instincts. Also Bonnie’s aware of it. And I think you did the right thing making a big deal of it – now Steve is aware it’s up to him to let her know the score – there are plenty subtle ways of doing that.

And it would be interesting to know the other guys’ take on it – i.e. if they’ve noticed anything. I don’t put you down as a paranoid, insanely jealous type – just a woman determined not to see the security of her marriage threatened – and who’s had enough shit this year already! And I’m glad Logan’s hanging on now – I want Brie’s doc to deliver as well. Make the most of your free time!

Just keep your eye on her and if it gets too bad, say something. Whether she is in the band or not, there are certain rules of etiquette. One being, STAY AWAY FROM MY HUSBAND!!!

I don’t know if this is right but my philosophy and what I tell H is that if he’s not discouraging it, he’s encouraging it. Some women thrive on that BS, you know. :-/ Hope that baby comes soon! 😉 xoxox

Hey, BayBEEEE – I understand COMPLETELY, and I’m sure Steve was warmed (deep down inside) to know you felt so strongly about “You & Him”….but by all means, rip this woman a new one next time she “trespasses”!!! YaHOOO!! 😉 BTW, I’m not big on Induction…okay, I’m WAYWAY Against it…Bride was induced, and I wish to Heaven it hadn’t happened. Sigh…I’m sure Brie will be FINE!! LOVE YOU!

Some women get off on flirting to cause trouble.

Ok, Marg just said it all, I think! You’re not overreacting a bit – although I find it hard to believe, (leading a sheltered life like I do) there ARE woman who seem to believe their mission in life is to snag any guy they see. My husband is a lot like Steve – has to be hit over the head to even realize anyone’s flirting with him, but REALLY hates the obvious trashy ones. In fact, …

…my best friend got married a few years ago, and one of her old high school friends was in the wedding. She flirted shamelessly with everyone there, INCLUDING my husband, who thought (correctly) that she was a total slut. She’s been like that as long as I’ve known her – thinks every man should fall at her feet. Ok, now I’M getting pissed off TOO!

Oh, RYN – I never thought of checking IN the speaker – good idea! And I didn’t watch Amelie – ended up being WAY too much trouble to order, oddly enough. I’m going to rent it one day.
