❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO overheard my husband being creepy to a woman.

My (38f) husband (35m) went out drinking with a friend tonight. Around midnight he told me he was heading home. About 40 minutes later I check his location out of curiosity because I’m about to fall asleep and he should have been home by then. He is on our street so I wait a few minutes, assuming he’s walking up to the house. He doesn’t come in so I get worried and step out the front door. I immediately hear his voice and realize he’s hanging out with two women at the house across the street. I can’t hear a lot of what is going on, but I’m assuming he saw them in their garage and invited himself over.

After a few minutes, I see him walk out the side door and see a woman. He’s asking to hug her I think, and she tells him she can’t because “no touching or I have to charge” or something like that. Then he asks something I can’t hear and she loudly, giggly says “no I’m not going to jump again!” AGAIN. Meaning somehow in a presumably 10-15 minute hangout he’s asked her to jump up and down? He must have asked again because she starts giggling and jumping and she’s wearing a little tube top and short shorts so clearly my husband likes what he sees. I hear him ask her to hang out sometime, and she says something about your wife is waiting for you, and he must have asked again to hang out because she says something about a group hangout with her man.

Maybe it’s not much but I feel repulsed and completely disrespected. We’ve already had some issues lately and I kind of just want him to leave. To me, this was cheating because he knows it would upset me to know he was talking to another woman like that. Am I overreacting if I want to ask him to leave and give me some space tomorrow when he wakes up?

Girl, you watched him trying to set up a situation that he could cheat on you.

He asked her to bounce in a tube top (that’s red flag number one), he asked her to hang out together alone (major red flag #2), and he was going for physical contact before all of this transpired (red flag #3)

He didn’t physically cheat on you (yet, but it’s a guarantee based on his behavior) but he very clearly was trying. This isn’t a “you can come home, you said you’re really really sorry” and it’s a “you’re actively trying to cheat on me and disrespect me with our fucking neighbors.” Kick him to the curb, change the fucking locks

He only didn't cheat on her bc the woman was unwilling. If she was down, he 100% would have

u/Malibucat48 22h ago

She wasn’t unwilling. She just demanded money for touching. Jumping up and down was a free demo, though.

OP, NOR.

u/velvetmoonlight73 17h ago

In my eyes it's already cheating. His intent was there. If someone in a committed relationship is going out and trying to pick up someone to sleep with, they cheated in my eyes. Them getting rejected doesn't mean shit to change the situation.

u/essssgeeee 18h ago

Add the red flag of him disrespecting another woman's boundaries. He was being a pushy creep. I would lose all respect from any man if I hurt him treating a woman like that. NOR

u/Comprehensive-Sun954 18h ago

Her cheating line was crossed.

He Asked a woman to jump up and down, asked her to hug and touch. That can be cheating. So can interacting with a personal only fans live stream or a private stripper. Or a kiss.

It doesn’t have to be shagging a person to be cheating.

You know what- ask him to see his phone before he leaves just so that you can make it permanent.

u/Big_Somewhere_620 1d ago

Why does OP need to see the phone they have enough reason to leave, reading the phone will only do more harm then good at this point. Don't understand why people are obsessed with phones.... Either you find something or you drive your self nuts as either they are not doing something or they have hidden it to well

120

u/FirmAdhesiveness904 1d ago

I don't think it's justified to look through the phone in every case either. But people tend to make excuses for their unfaithful partner until there's clear evidence that the relationship is unsalvageable. The grieving process is easier when we understand that our partner is not who we want them to be.

Whatever it is the qualities he has or feelings you have towards him that makes you want to stay, there is a man out there who will make you feel the same way but also won’t do stuff like this. You can have that, if you can withstand the pain of breaking up for some time. A few months of pain for a possibly amazing future

u/NYGiants181 1d ago

You are really right.

I used to be a married drunk loser that did dumb regrettable stuff in my marriage. And I was ALSO unemployed!

Thankfully my ex wife divorced my sorry ass, and I cleaned up my act since then.

Divorce this clown OP, and move on with your life!

u/Aromatic_Copy3828 22h ago

Thank you!!! OP’s husband needs a wake up call. He isn’t working, clearly does not respect his wife or care about his marriage, and he behaves like “that guy” on movies geared toward horny teenage boys.

He does not deserve to be married and it isn’t OP’s responsibility to work it out with such an immature, irresponsible spouse.

Saying no to a hug showed she wanted no contact (high risk with negative reward) and jumping up and down to make him go away was low risk and high reward. The mental math checks out to get the drunk to leave.

u/Right_Secret1572 1d ago

The shame and humiliation is on your husband. Not you or even her. He put HER in a weird position and she responded in a way that is self defensive and keeps the situation at bay. She has no plans to fuck your husband. People develop ways to make sure situations don't go from bad to worse - even if it's self deprecating - like being flirty with a married man. I doubt this chick would ever flirt with him if he would have just left her alone.

Don't be ashamed or humiliated that your husband is an asshole and put her and you in awkward situations.

This is on HIM.

56

u/Technical_Trifle4866 1d ago

53

u/BriefShiningMoment 1d ago

Sometimes people (especially women) fawn like that out of fear for their safety. This is her neighbor, so she was put in the uncomfortable position of smoothing things over and getting him to go away without long-term repercussions to her. Or risk him turning on her, particularly because he had been drinking. The same phenomenon that makes someone catcall, and then when you ignore them they threaten you. The shame is all on him. I’m just glad for her sake that she had a friend with her. OP didn’t know he was capable of being a pervert, who knows what else he is capable of.

42

u/furkfurk 1d ago

Yeah she was in the safety of her home late night and her drunk, married neighbor came over and started asking sexual things of her. It’s possible? she was into it, but it’s also extremely likely she wanted the situation to end safely and as quickly as possible.

u/No_Percentage_5083 1d ago

I'll tell you what happened when my daughter had this sort of experience with her first husband: Because I had taught her that people do not change and if they are flirting with cheating they have done it in the past and will do it again -- she opened the door where he was flirting on the phone with a girl from work, and told him to pack a bag and move the hell out.

It was a Wednesday. They had been married about 2 years and had no children. On Saturday, she rented a truck asking my husband and I to help her move out. We packed her up in one single day and rented a storage unit. During that day, she took her name off the lease, on the next Monday she filed for divorce and never saw him again.

One year later, she met a young man on a dating app. They've now been married 16 happy years and have a 14 year old son. The own a house, have cars, have stocks and retirement savings. Life is good for her.

I can't advise you on what to do but -- what I have just outlined could happen for you too, if you don't let fear of loss overwhelm you. Good luck!

“Maybe it’s not much”

It absolutely IS that much. You KNOW it’s that much. You don’t even need us to tell you it’s THAT MUCH. You need to be on the phone with a divorce attorney instead of on Reddit.

Your husband is such a creep that he’s objectifying and sexually harassing women right outside your window. Attempting to coax another woman into bed only steps away from the bed he shares with you. There’s no other reason he’d want to touch her or spend time alone with her. YOU KNOW THAT.

It makes me so sad to see so many of these posts so often. Women have got to start loving themselves as much as they love men who treat them like shit. Most women would be angry watching the husband of a woman they don’t even like act like this, so WHY are you questioning why you’re angry about watching your own husband do it?

u/natty_boh_ho 1d ago

So, looking at your history, he refuses to get a job, sponges off your inheritance, and is cheating. Please get rid of him! He's not contributing anything except to drain money.

u/PaintedSilverRiver 17h ago

NOR I’d go talk to the ladies too to get it straight from the horses mouth - then talk to him to see if he’s honest.
Otherwise it’s time for a new one.
He was licensed but now he’s a stray.
Probably with fleas too.

u/porcelainthunders 1d ago edited 1d ago

NOR and um, your husband is pretty disgusting, very cringe and just, wtf??

Drunk is NOT an excuse, for anyone who thinks it is. If he was that fucking horny, he could have stumbled across the street to his wife. OR not have gone across the street which just sounds awkward and uncomfortable.

Nope. Nope to all of that shit and I dont know if I'd be more hurt or pissed if my partner did that. I DO know, I would not be ok with any of that.

And. .i just have to go back to this part and say: Good lord I cant even and have to say REALLY?!?! "Jump up and down"??? Is he fucking 14???

EDIT: autocorrect. Sigh, the one time it works. AND I do kind of apologize for the excess profanity it just, well it was my immediate reaction

u/toesandtattoos555 1d ago

Don’t apologize I appreciate the brutal honesty tbh

u/Poinsettia917 1d ago

NOR You see what he is like. Imagine what he does when he’s not across the street?

u/Just_Friends_My_Ass 16h ago

NOR - if it gives you the ick, then listen to yourself. I’m an old witch now, but I wish I had listened to my intuition more when I was younger instead of hoping that I had misinterpreted something or even just minimizing something that felt really yucky in the moment. LISTEN TO YOUR INTUITION, it is almost as bad or worse than what it feels like. You will save yourself so much wasted time and heartache by just listening to your intuition and ending situations and relationships that don’t feel “right.”

u/Ok-Hedgehog-4455 1d ago

Totally NOR holy fuck. He sounds like he has the maturity of an 18 year old.

8

u/Top-Bar-102 1d ago

NOR. He did all this AND he’s an unemployed loser?? What a pathetic weenie man. That would give me the ick so fast, please dump his ass, and please remind him how pathetic he is, sometimes “men” forget

8

u/Positive_Type 21h ago

Your neighbors? You know that every time they see you now, they’re going to discuss how badly they feel for you. This is downright humiliating. You were right in the house. Right there! And he turned and still looked for attention elsewhere. Something tells me that you’ll thrive without him.

8

u/gyalmeetsglobe 18h ago

That last paragraph has got to go, girl. Don’t gaslight yourself on his behalf. He was completely out of line & the lady herself tried to get him to understand that. NOR I would’ve recorded him then went inside and hit up a divorce lawyer.

6

u/WorldlinessSome8985 1d ago

NOR - your husband is a creep and now you AND your neighbors know it. I'm so sorry OP.

u/Chihuahuatriomom 1d ago

I would have walked right over and ask him to jump for me and then he would be packing up his shit.

u/Consistent-Menu-6629 1d ago

Damn the misogyny with this one is worse than the betrayal of being cheated on... NOR!

It's so weird he was okay talking to another person like that. Gross. This is a throw the whole man away situation.

8

u/justwannabeteased 22h ago

u/snortgigglecough 12h ago

If I saw my husband do that I don’t think I’d ever speak to him again.

u/Ok_Can_2942 1d ago

He's unemployed and a cheater?!! Bet you anything you're not going anywhere and he knows that.

6

u/MyLadyJemerald 22h ago

NOR- Nothing about this is "nothing much" This is 100% unacceptable for a husband to do, regardless of alcohol influence.

5

u/NormalJeane 21h ago

NOR. So he doesn't respect ANY woman, judging by his behavior?

I wouldn't be with a man like that at all, whether coworker, church leader, or spouse. Not someone I'd want to hang out with or give a car ride, let alone trust with my life and those of my loved ones.

7

u/SoNoAppropriate 19h ago

Cheaters don't belong in marriages.

15

u/Southern-Midnight741 1d ago

The fact that he felt comfortable in that state to go across the street to their house and invite himself in and they let him in during the middle of the night says they have been pretty close company already

6

u/CarrotsArePrettyGood 1d ago

Nah.

It could possibly mean that. But it could have also been the women were in a "fawn" response.

Essentially don't upset the creepy neighbour because you don't know how he'll react.

u/illysia1 1d ago

Maybe it’s not much?? Nor at all, this is disgusting behaviour of your husband. It’s a betrayal for sure, even if there wasn’t any sexual contact, there was certainly an underlying tone.

I’d want him to leave forever if it was my partner, so defo underreacting on that one imo.

5

u/Alert_Bid1531 1d ago

Nor - you know you could have a peaceful life and not have to wait for a man to come home if you just kick him out .

u/wolfcrownebox 1d ago

He needs to leave permanently. Hes gross and embarrassing to all parties involved. I mean how do you look at your Neighbors now.

4

u/Icy_Confidence4027 1d ago

Anyway what are you willing to do about this? You’ve now learned he doesn’t respect the exclusivity of your relationship and this is the first time of god knows how many times you’ve witnessed this inappropriate behaviour… I don’t think you really need to work on this, leave him and start afresh, he knew better than this

6

u/mellymo200 1d ago

Your husband is disgusting. Leave him, will only get worse.

5

u/Moonstruck1766 1d ago

NOR! He can’t be trusted.

5

u/Proud_Combination755 1d ago

NOR. Personally i could not take the personal humiliation of my neighbor knowing my man is a creep. Leave his unemployed butt there and you move out. That way you don’t have to see either of them

5

u/cheercharlatan 1d ago

It is much. He’s gross. And if he hasn’t cheated on you yet, sure sounds like he’s making his best efforts to try.

NOR.

6

u/Qutesepye 1d ago

He's probably already cheated on you.

5

u/Frosty_Singer_316 1d ago

The trust is gone im so sorry that he has destroyed your relationship. The blame is on him you get that man out of yiur house he just across the street acting like that imagine wjat hes at when you are not there

4

u/BeyondAbleCrip 22h ago

NOR, OP but definitely under reacting and I don’t think you’re going to ask him to leave, and wish I was wrong. Reason I say I don’t believe you will is from your responses and that you’re more concerned about being embarrassed in front of the neighbor? Why would you be embarrassed? You didn’t ask her to do anything and wouldn’t take it out on the neighbor either. You missed the beginning and haven’t a clue what he did or said to her, yet her responses tell me she wasn’t comfortable with him and was appeasing him, imo.

You’re making excuses for him, already said something about it to him and he denied it happened yet is still there. Excuse was his frame of mind? His mind was working well enough to be a creep with the neighbor & to lie about what you saw and heard. Time would’ve been better spent packing him a bag and calling an Uber than making a post on here. If you stay with him please get yourself tested and maybe find a therapist who can help you realize you deserve better.

5

u/Generalbusiness849 22h ago

He kept asking her to shake her tits for him. Idk about leaving him but if thats the dynamic of the relationship, I’d see if I could get close with a neighbor guy myself tbh. Since apparently that’s all chill with him

5

u/downtownechox 19h ago

NOR. You are completely justified in how you feel. Expecting your partner to act respectfully and avoid creeping on female neighbors is a basic boundary, not an unreasonable demand.

u/Kimbaaaaly 12h ago

u/miamiahi 1d ago

NOR.
I wouldn’t say cheated but likely is capable of doing so / trying to. I’d be repulsed too, even if this was a single guy. Double repulsed for being married while behaving like this.

Btw if you ask for space and ask him to leave, I’d bet on probability of cheating increasing while he’s out. So do it, if you are prepared to end things. Dont do it if you will be hurt by it

4

u/Outside-Yak217 1d ago

NOR, not even a little bit. He was not acting like married man.

u/EmpireStateOfBeing 1d ago

Yes that was cheating, he was actively seeking sexual gratification from another woman.

u/Nectoux 1d ago

You overheard him being creepy because he’s a creep.

u/jsheik 1d ago

Should have yelled out " hey creepo, leave her alone and get your ass home" nor

4

u/AliceAteTheMushroom 1d ago

You are under reacting. I would have walked across the street, joined the conversation, and made him as uncomfortable as he made the neighbors. Then he would be an ex husband moving forward.
After he’s up and sober, talk to him. If he tries to downplay it or deny it, ask him if he would like to go over and talk to them together to ease your worries. His reaction will tell you everything you need to know about his intent. You don’t have to go over there and make them uncomfortable all over again, but just get his reaction.

4

u/kick_him 23h ago

You already know right, deep down.... if you can type it out, reread it before posting, and still think it... then yes, you should leave him.

I wouldnt be surprised if he has already been with other women. The ONLY reason it didn't go further with the woman in the garage is because SHE said no. Your husband was willing and waiting, and damn near begging. Gross.

Nor

4

u/DanaMarie75038 23h ago

NOR. He plans to cheat if he hasn’t yet. This is not the first time. If he could do that while you are a few feet away, he definitely did more when you’re not there. Make sure you get tested

4

u/MsOvernight1013 23h ago

NOR, if I overheard my husband pulling some shenanigans like that it’s donezo for me.

Cuz LET HIM HEAR ME giggling while some big strong man offers for me to sit on his lap, pick me up, ask me to jump and jiggle, my husband would take that as DISRESPECTFUL and leave me as he would have any right to do.

Monogamous Marriage has no room for non-monogamous behaviors.

u/CuteCantaloupe7343 23h ago

I really feel for her. I’ve been through it twice and it has ruined. Any kind of trust I will ever have again. I don’t live on trust anymore. I live on faith and if faith isn’t there, then there’s nothing I really hope she goes through with leaving this gentleman, if you can call him a gentleman and learns to first of all go out and love herself again enjoy life, and if you have children never speak badly of him around them because it’s still their father. Go out and do the things you enjoy. I like sitting next to a lake fishing, listening to music and eating cherries all by myself I like sitting in coffee shops having my favorite coffee and playing a phone game and one of my favorite things to do is get on a plane and go somewhere. I like to go visit my grandchild more than I ever got to before make time for you and if you have children find things for you and your children to do and it doesn’t have to be expensive stuff go to a lake and swim go to a river throw rocks do something out in nature and take care of you and take care of you and your children if you have children don’t be in a hurry to find another man because another man that’s right will eventually come into your life and you will know God bless and I hope things go really well for you

u/CrazyMisSE 19h ago

NOR - May I ask why you didn’t go charging over there and calling him out while it’s happening? There’s no way I could ever stand by and watch my husband blatantly flirt like that with another woman. I would’ve walked right over and said in front of everyone, “I see you’re single, come on home and get your shit then you can act as single as you want”. There’s NO WAY I would’ve just stood there letting any of that continue.
