Dear Queenie,
My husband’s unmarried boss seems to find me attractive. He always pays me a lot of attention when there is something going on at the office where workers’ spouses are also invited.
I have asked my husband to stay close to me to help keep his boss away, but he says the boss is paying him a compliment by paying attention to me and I should be nice to the man to keep him in good with his boss.
Queenie, what do you think of all this?—Annoyed wife
Dear Wife,
I think your husband is either stupidly or deliberately ignoring what is going on here. You should explain to your husband in the simplest terms possible that you do not like the way his boss treats you, and you think he should not like it either.
And the next time the boss approaches, give him a pleasant “hello,” then excuse yourself quickly and go talk to someone else – preferably your husband.
