Her Husband’s Colleague Was Infatuated with Him, But When She Rang Him at 2am, the Woman Gave Him an Ultimatum

A woman was becoming concerned about one of her husband’s colleagues, named Tabitha. Tabitha had exhibited an infatuation with him that had been steadily escalating in its inappropriateness, and the woman decided to take action, a decision that would not be popular with her husband.

The problems began when Tabitha’s office’s heating system malfunctioned. The woman’s husband, a maintenance supervisor, was responsible for assigning tasks to his employees. However, Tabitha expressed dissatisfaction with their work, insisting that he personally attend to her office’s issues, even when he assured her that his team had done excellent work.

However, the woman explained that this was only the beginning. “Last year when we went to the company Christmas party, she was very flirty with him, and constantly grabbed his hand”, she explained. “When we sat at the table she nearly pushed me out of my seat to sit next to him.”

Expressing Her Concern

In light of this event, the woman began to express her concerns to her husband. However, he was dismissive: “He said it was fine, that she was harmless”, she recounted. “I told him that she was not fine and that she clearly had feelings for him and was acting like a jealous girlfriend.”

Endless Calls and Texts

Tabitha’s behavior took a more concerning turn during the past few weeks. She had recently moved to a new house, and the woman’s husband had helped her with the move. In the process, he had shared his personal cell phone number with her. Since then, she had been bombarding him with incessant calls and texts, often at odd hours.

One night, things took a disturbing turn when Tabitha called the woman’s husband at 2:00am, complaining about her malfunctioning heating system. “He said he would go over and look at it after work”, the woman remembered.

The woman was furious. “I broke down”, she explained. “I told him he was not going, that she could call a technician like everyone else, and that he was not her personal maintenance man.”

An Emotional Breakdown

The woman elaborated to her husband, confronting him about her suspicions. She made it abundantly clear that Tabitha’s behavior indicated more than just friendship and was crossing boundaries. She believed Tabitha had feelings for him, and it was affecting their marriage.

The woman proceeded to explain to her husband that he had to set boundaries. Helping a friend was one thing, but Tabitha had become dependent on him for tasks she could easily handle herself. She reminded him that sharing his personal phone number with her was a significant step that had blurred the lines between professionalism and personal relationships.

An Ultimatum

The woman’s frustration and worry had reached a boiling point, so she issued an ultimatum. “I told him that he could either be married to me, or married to her, but I wasn’t going to be the third wheel in my own marriage”, she recounted.

Differing Perspectives

Her husband, however, had a different perspective. He insisted that he had no romantic feelings for Tabitha and saw her as a friend in need of assistance. He believed that his wife’s concerns were an overreaction to his willingness to help a colleague and that she was acting jealous and immature.

Seeking Advice

Unwilling to accept this explanation, the woman turned to an online forum, seeking advice. She was relieved to discover that readers did not agree that she was overreacting. “Your husband is either incredibly dense or he’s cheating on you and lying”, accused one reader. 

His Feelings Don’t Matter

“It doesn’t matter that he doesn’t have feelings for her – she does for him, and by her behavior it’s clear”, another reader pointed out. “She was blatantly okay with disrespecting you in front of him at a Christmas party. You don’t feel comfortable with it and that should be the end of it – he should respect that.”

A Serious Allegation

However, a large portion of the woman’s audience did not trust the man’s explanations one bit. “He’s cheating on you… talk to lawyers”, stated one particularly popular comment.
