When you're married and you're dating out of your league, it's tough not to notice when people are trying to schmooze your partner. You obviously know that your spouse is a 10/10, but when the public see you (a generous 6), walking next to your stunning other half, they're probably thinking that you're their executive assistant or some other kind of hired hand. In this case, a man whose wife had aged like fine wine and was getting hotter everyday, was subject to the insecurity of being the ugly duckling next to her. Regardless of their attractiveness gap, their marriage is better than ever and recently underwent a daring test of strength. 

OP and his wife had brought in a contractor to help with their shared business and the husband noticed the contractor trying to flirt with his wife– checking her out all day and peeking down her blouse at every opportunity. The contractor clearly never realized that the man in the room with them was, in fact, her husband. In a hilarious turn of events, the hubby and the contractor ran into each other at the bar later that day and the husband got cheeky revenge on the man's wandering eye. 

Scroll for the full story on how a man dating out of his league got a consolation prize for his wife's unwavering fidelity.

    Font - My wife and I co-own a stone countertop shop. She runs day to day operations, is the face of the company, and while I work a full time job but will do paperwork & IT on the weekends. I'll also come in, as needed, to be an extra pair of hands.

    Font - I need to mention our looks, because it's relevant. I'm not a 10. I'm an early 40s, bald, dad-bod type. I've aged like milk. My wife, on the other hand, has aged like wine. Between a love of fashion and fitness, she is a beautiful woman. We joke that our business does so well because she's "contractor bait."

    Font - Around 3:30 PM, a contractor came in to drop off a check, and then discuss a new project. He's chatting up my wife, being friendly, etc. I'm just hired help to him, but I notice the way he stares at her ass as she walks around, and then he blatantly looks down her shirt when she's at the front desk writing up paperwork. I just shake my head. He's there for 20 minutes or so, and leaves.

    Font - About the same time I finish cleaning up and go to head home. She has to run payroll for Friday and then make a bank run, so we go our separate ways. Since I have time to kill, I hit the local bar for a beer before driving home. Guess who is there? The contractor. I sit near him because most seats are taken, and he notices my company shirt. He chats me up.

    Font - Pretty quickly he mentions my wife. "I don't know how you can work for her. I'd be harder than those countertops seeing her walk around all day!" "Yeah, I guess she's pretty cute." "Pretty cute? That's the type of woman that could drain my bank account and it would be worth every penny!"

    Font - It goes like this for a bit, when he asks if I know what she likes to drink. I say I'm not sure, but when we do happy hours she usually gets a vodka soda or something like that. My wife hates vodka. She loves gin.

    Font - So imagine my surprise when she comes home from the shop the next day with a handle of Tito's vodka from a friendly contractor! Apparently she did a "great job" on the last project, and he wanted to say thanks.

    Font - I'm typing this post on Sunday morning enjoying a Bloody Mary with that man's generous vodka gift. EDIT: Told my wife the story and shared this post. She's dying. She always felt he a touch creepy. Happy to hear he helped me have a good Sunday.
