Love Q&A: What To Do When A Friends Husband Hit On You?

Q.

My friends husband hit on me. Do I tell her?

A.

Whatever you decide, remember it's a lot easier to believe that a friend has an overactive imagination than that you married a creep. You friend probably already knows if her guy's flirty with other ladies. If so, this incident won't prove anything to her-it'll just make yo seem like a drama queen. Also realize that he could always spin this into a situation where you made the first move.

If you tell and she goes into a total denial, say, "I'm sorry, I may have misjudged the situation," and back off. If she takes the case to her hubby, be willing to confront him with her. If you don't have the guts to face him directly, don't break such bombshell news. Sometimes a better move is to just offer support to your friend over time -and never be alone with her husband.
