Dear Queenie,
My husband is attractive and friendly and women love to flirt with him. I get sick of watching them getting close to him and trying to put moves on him.
Queenie, what’s a polite way to tell them he’s taken?—Irritated wife
Dear Irritated,
Do these women know your husband is married? Are they acquainted with you? If so, just take his arm or hold his hand when they start cozying up to him and act as though they are talking to you too. If not, make a point of introducing yourself to them as his wife.
Also, have a talk with your husband and ask him not to encourage their behaviour; if necessary, to actively discourage it. He can do so easily by introducing you or starting to talk affectionately about you when they get too aggressive.
