My husband is 10 years older than I am, and I am finishing college in my mid-20s. I wear my ring every day, but a couple of things have happened and I have told him about it. First, one of the 20 year-old kids in one of my classes asked me out; I pointed out I was married, he apologized and said he hadn’t seen it. I went home, told my husband immediately… his reaction: “Good for you, that must have made you feel good!” as he high fived me!
Then, the next semester, I got close with the graduate students teaching one of my classes, because I was older and we had things in common. I never flirted with him, we just talked after class, I told him repeatedly about my husband, even about the sports they both liked to watch. On the last day of class, the guy asks me out!! I was mortified, again went home and told my husband, but this time I felt guilty – the guy KNEW I was married… I cried and my husband’s response was to hug me and say: “If you didn’t go, you have nothing to worry about. You can’t control what other people think”.
He didn’t even get mad… am I worrying for no reason? Why doesn’t he care that other men wanting me?
