This 37-year-old man has a 35-year-old wife, and they have been happily married for 11 years. He says his wife is amazing.

Now, his wife has a friend named Beth, whom she has been close to for 8 years, and his wife and Beth also happen to work together.

He’s always been friendly with Beth, and they’re not exactly friends but close to it. Things between him and Beth have never been awkward, and Beth has been in their lives for years.

Not that long ago, his wife went out of town for a couple of days. While she was gone, he went out to shop for groceries and ran into Beth.

They chit-chatted and shopped together for the next 20 minutes, and then they walked out to the parking lot, about to go their different ways.

Beth asked him what he happened to be doing later that night, and he mentioned he was just going to be working in the garage.

But then Beth said she could drop off her groceries and come keep him company if he wanted, but he replied that he’s alright; it’s just him and the dogs.

Beth paused for a moment and said that she forgot that his wife was out of town. But things did not end there.

“Beth sent me a couple of texts late that night about a show she thought I would like,” he explained.

“I said, “I’ll check it out, thanks!”. About 10 minutes later, she sent, “What are you doing up?” I didn’t respond. It was feeling off. We have never texted unless there was a reason. I doubt she forgot my wife was out of town because A) they’re close friends, B) they work together, and my wife hadn’t been to work in 2 days, and C) “If you want any company,” so I’m assuming she knew I would be alone.”

“We have never hung out without my wife, but we’re going to now while she is several states away? Was it an innocent gesture that she stepped back from when she realized it might be crossing a line?”

Then, when his wife was back home, they hosted a BBQ at their home a week ago. Beth was there, and she mainly spoke to his wife and his sister-in-law the entire night.

Any moment that he was close to Beth, she stopped talking and wouldn’t acknowledge him at all. When Beth ended up leaving, she walked past him and did not say a single word.

This just serves to make him feel even weirder about the incident with Beth in the grocery store. To him, Beth seemingly came onto him, and he’s not sure if he should tell his wife or not. If one of his friends had that kind of bizarre incident with his wife when he was out of town, he would want to know.

“On the other hand, what if I’m wrong and cause a falling out that doesn’t need to happen?” he wondered.

“My main argument for the latter is this: I knew Beth’s ex-husband back in the day and her two serious partners in the years since then. She has a distinctive type of guy she has always gone for, and it definitely doesn’t fit my profile. Part of me wants to push it to the side and let it blow over.”

Do you think he should tell his wife?
