my wife said she gave another woman -who is a friend of ours- lingerie as a gift.  I find this odd.  her friend is married and we as couples are casual friends.

It is very common for woman to give each other intimate gifts such as lingerie.  Woman are very open in their friendships and feel comfortable enough to give gifts like that.  It doesn't mean she has a sexual interest in her friend.

I've experienced a slightly different situation, I'm very good friends with the husband not so much the wife but I found out that she was cheating on him.  When I told him he totally denied it, refused to accept that it was true and doesn't believe me.  Then he got mad at me for pushing the issue so I guess it depends on the person how they'll react when you tell but I would.

You are a moral corruptor and your wife doesn't deserve you. Stop talking to this friend of yours and focus on sex with your wife. How would you like it if you found that your wife was talking to her friend whom she really wants to have sex with?!

You know I just celebrated my 10 year anniversary, I don't mean to sound snooty, but we have all that money can buy.  Sometimes the best gift comes's from ones heart.  My wife (who is not into this type of thing at all) went to Achiever's and made a scrap book of pictures from our first year to the day before our anv.  I am a man who loves money, but i can only own so many Rolex watches I can only have so many cars,  You get the idea.  It does not always have to cost a lot to be a lot!  I PROMISE YOU THIS.  This gift was the best one she has ever given me.  It came from the heart, it was not cheap for her to do i know that, but more important,  I can open it up whenever I want and look at it and laugh, smile and cry.  See if I loose her ever I wont care about the money but I will care about the memories she took the time to make sure i would always have of each other.  \n\nHope this helps,  I know im not your average man but I do know what love is,  our money is abundant but in the end our love and all the little things she does for me means so much more then all the monetary gifts we have exchanged!\n\nPaul

I would seriously question if she is indeed your FRIEND at all.\n\nFriends do not advise us to do things that would be hurtful to ourselves or to our families.\n\nAs to would it be adultery YES it would being with someone other than your Husband is cheating.\n\nYou need to take a closer look at this so called friend.

She may be buying him things in the hopes that he will come back to her.  The fact that he's accepting them does pose a bit of a problem, unless they are/were good friends outside of their sexual relationship (you didn't say whether they were, only that they used to have sex) in which case purchasing gifts may not be so far out of line.\n\nLook at other areas - does he hide his friendship with her from you?  Does he keep you a secret from her?  If not, then their friendship is more likely on the up-and-up.

no she is just angry she is probably saying if you hadn't thrown her the part it would never have happened but she should choose her friends wisely , it is pretty obvious that the husband was into it or else he would have been with his wife and not them,just to show that he is a cheating bastard. judge how long he has been doing it

Think of it this way - you save yourself money in not having to buy her a wedding gift.  I think it was rude on her part to invite some co-workers but not all, that's why it's best not to invite anyone from work - it saves this kind of thing from happening.  Don't get upset about it, look at it like it's one less thing you have to do.  It sounds like your work "friend" is really more of a friendly acquaintance.  I had the same thing happen to me - my boss and I get along really well but when she had her annual halloween party, she didn't invite me - and instead invited a woman nearly 30 years older then us.  I was shocked but I didn't let it get to me.  Just do your work and don't worry about her.

It would depend on the type gift. If it is a book ,or music, or something like that it could be either one. If it is something more personal like flowers, jewelry, or lingerie it is definitely something more than friendship they are after. \n\nSome people give because they want something, some because they have done something wrong & they want to try to compensate, others [far & few between] because they are just genorous. \nIf they wanted you for more of than a friend there would probably be other signs as well.

I don't know how they can share their husband. Me personally I couldn't do it.I think these women have low self esteem and don't value themselves.I would be jealous and would constantly question his love for me. Guess, I wouldn't have survived in Biblical times...lol

Your wife?  Sounds like you're buying gifts for your mistress and when your wife finds out you are forced to give them to her instead.

Dear GAWD, NO! Buy her something girlie, and sexy. I went to a shower recently & the look on the bride's face when she opened the cake stand was priceless. She offered up her best fake smile & tossed it among the HOT teddies and panties we all got her. Lame lame lame to get registry stuff for the shower. My $.02.

I also think it's disrepectful.  There are some things you don't share with your spouse. I don't think it has anything to do with being uncomfortable or comfortable around your spouse.

I would think that it isn't expected by any means but if you like her or if it is just 'you' to give a gift then feel free...but I wouldn't go overboard or she might be uncomfortable with it.  New babies are always a good reason to give gifts and unlike birthdays that come every year they only come once in a while (for most people anyway), so they are kind of a different situation.

Firstly: tell your wife if you are certain now. You don't want to try to figure this out alone. I wonder why if you told your wife about her friend's behavior your wife didn't respond well... Odd. Secondly: Are you SURE that she wants to get with you? Maybe you're misinterpreting her. But if you're definitely sure, then, after telling your wife, just avoid the other woman. \n\nAll of the above is assuming you don't want to cheat on your wife. If you do, then....I guess you don't have any problems then, do you?
