Dear Queenie,
My husband and I are retired, but he still stays in touch with some of the people he used to work with, mostly women, and he flirts a lot with the women.
He says it doesn’t mean anything and he never would actually do anything more than flirt, but I really have to wonder why these young women find an old man so attractive – it’s not as if we’re rich or anything like that – and whether I really can trust him with them.
Queenie, should I be worried?—Doubtful
Dear Doubtful,
That depends on where this flirting takes place and how far it goes. If the flirting is all by text message and/or e-mail and your husband does not see these young women when you are not present, I do not think you have anything to worry about. Probably he is flattered by their attention and they are being “charitable” to an old man.
But if he is sneaking around and getting together with them behind your back, that is something else.
