A British woman is seeking advice after her husband admitted to kissing someone else on a night out, but insisting that it was a “harmless mistake.”
According to the Daily Mail, she said that her husband made the confession after she texted him while he was on a night out.
She claims that her husband hasn’t done anything similar in the past, but mentioned that he can be flirty.
She explained, “My husband went out last night for a few drinks with some of the guys from his work. They went round a few pubs in a town not far from ours and also went round a couple of clubs. I went to bed at around 1am because he never normally comes home much before 4 or 5am on a night out so I didn't stay up to wait for him. I messaged him when I got into bed telling him to stay safe and that I love him and that I was going to sleep. About a minute later, I had a message that simply said !I'm so sorry but I've kissed someone tonight. I'm coming home. He got home and I was very upset but he insists that the woman came up to him and kissed him and he kissed back but then pulled away. He's never done anything like this before although he's a very flirty person and he's popular with women. [Am I being unreasonable] to accept it as just a harmless mistake? I don't want to throw away an otherwise happy marriage.”
The woman received feedback from number other women on Mumsnet. One woman said, “I'd not end things over that. He told you, he came home, he obviously feels bad. I can see it possibly taking a second or two to register that someone is kissing you and to stop them.” Another wrote, “I'd be upset but wouldn't end it over this. He's sorry and he came straight home, it could have ended a lot worse than this. On the other hand, if it became a regular thing it would be different.”
On the other hand, another woman said, “I wouldn't trust him following this. Why do all these women want to kiss him? I mean what are his mates and him doing to encourage this? Even if he looks like Tom Hardy people don't just try and kiss you every time you go out.”
A fourth woman said, “I've never had to pull away from a strangers kiss, not once, certainly not twice. Women hate rejection so there would have been a build up to that kiss where she knew she wasn't going to be rebuffed. He is giving off single available, up-for-it vibes.”
