Woman Says Husband ‘Exploded’ at Her After She Questioned Him About a Woman at the Supermarket — Wonders If He's Cheating

The woman detailed her story on the “Am I Being Unreasonable?” forum on the U.K.-based community site Mumsnet.com, a place where women can go to seek advice from other women.

In her post, the woman says that she and her husband have been together “since childhood” and have “no real marital issues.”

However, she says that they were recently at the grocery store, where it looked like a woman in a nearby checkout aisle recognized her husband. She says that the woman appeared to try to wave at her husband, at which point he moved out of sight to a different part of the store.

“Just before leaving, she stopped and turned to look as if expecting someone to come over to her. Then she turned and left,” the original poster (OP) added.

She continues, “A minute later, [my husband] arrived back at the register. I finished up, and as we were leaving, said, ‘I think the lady on the next register knew you?’ He replied, ‘Yes.’ I gave it a moment and then prompted, ‘Work?’ And he said, ‘Yes.’ “

The OP says that she felt as though something was “a bit off,” and so she asked her husband about the encounter one more time, at which point “he exploded,” which she says is “very unusual” for him.

“He said I was being jealous, does he have to give me her life story … he doesn’t know her, doesn’t speak to her [at] work, and all he knows is she's married to the boss's nephew.”

She says he then told her he didn’t want to go shopping in the first place “on his day off,” and didn’t want to get stuck making “awkward conversation with a colleague.”

“This response felt out of the blue and was very upsetting,” the OP continued, adding that her husband opted not to join her for a family barbecue at her parents' that evening and “ignored” her for the rest of the night.

The OP admits that her husband was under a “lot of stress” that day due to a plumbing “disaster” at their home that morning that required a “big fix,” and also said that he later apologized. However, she also says she is “beyond hurt and confused,” and reiterated that the outburst was “very out of character.”

“Thoughts would be appreciated,” she says at the end of her post.

A number of the OP’s fellow community members said they thought her husband’s behavior seemed highly suspicious.

“You’re the one who’s married to him, and your senses are obviously telling you something. Getting angry often (though not always) means guilt,” one person said.

“Sorry but that's f------ weird — unless he's generally prone to similar behavior (and you say he isn't), then something is definitely off. The fact [that] he disappeared when he saw this woman and his explosive reaction to your question means he's hiding something,” someone else said.

However, others thought that the OP was, in fact, overreacting, and that her husband was likely just stressed.

“I wouldn't say because a woman waved at him that [he’s] having an affair. He knew her from work, barely, he had a stressful morning and the last thing you want [to do] is make small talk when you're in a mood,” one person said.
