60-year-old woman tries to start drama between a young married couple when husband befriends another woman, confident wife calls older woman out: ‘My wife started to laugh’

The internet is riddled with Karen tales, some with justice being served and some with frustration lingering. And, yes, this is one of those stories, a justice being served one. But it is also so much more than that! This is also a story that remembers a best friend who has passed—a happy memory memorialized on the entire internet for everyone to enjoy and cheers to a lost bestie. It's also a beautiful example of healthy relationships, in both romantic and platonic. Too many tales shine light on a girlfriend's, partner's, or wife's jealousy, but here we get to see that it's possible to be confident in all kinds of different types of relationships in your life.

 

Here, we see a wife encouraging a lonely husband to go out and enjoy life. And yes, just because you're happily married doesn't mean you never feel lonely. Friendships are a completely different kind of connection than a romantic one that we all need in our lives. So, this husband did just that and joined a club where he bumped into an old friend from over a decade ago who he briefly dated. They became good friends and buddied up at every outing with this club.

  • Let's be clear, this husband wasn't throwing himself all over this other woman and they never even really hung out outside of club settings. The wife also knew everything about her husband's relationship with this woman, past and present. She was happy her husband had found a friend! She had no interest in joining this club and used that chance to hang with her own friends and do her own thing. Another sign of a healthy relationship—encouraging each other to do your own thing that makes you happy (because being someone's sole reason for happiness is way too much and unfair pressure!).

     

    However, there was an older woman in this husband's club that seemed to think that men and women could not possibly be friends. This woman loved attention and loved to gossip. So one night when she had a little too much wine, she started toying with the line of gossiping about this guy and his female friend. This guy had had enough, and you know what he did? He called up his very confident and secure wife who he knew loved her and approved of this friendship and let her put this older woman in her place. See the entire situation below! And cheers to secure relationships and best friends!

  • "You like attention do you? Here, let me get you some."

    So I am telling this story because the friend involved recently passed from a short but valiant battle with Cancer. She went from the doctor saying "Well, we need to do a biopsy, its probably nothing" to a call from her 5 weeks later saying she was going into Hospice care, with just a few days to live.

  • But saying goodbye brought up some tough memories, and a funny one. I decided to go to a Meetup a (different) friend from work suggested i might enjoy. A Tiki club that met weekly, but not only at Tiki bars. 50's style diners were also part of the club. It was at a local dessert place with a 50s diner flair that

Several them rode motorcycles or even Vespa scooters, as I did, an old 70s Honda CB550 4-4. I sit down with my coffee and am talking with one of the guys who just bought a new Triumph Bonneville when someone comes up to the table, sits

  • We had a short but enjoyable summer together after I graduated from HS and she was working before going off to college. She went off to college, me to the Navy, and we lost track of each other. This being the days before the internet.

  • I had been married for 15 years at this point and had a child. While she was single it was a strange, but platonic, friendship that revolved around the Meetup club. The Dessert Diner was a favorite, and every time I would get a coffee, she would steal it and drink from the other side. It was a "thing" we had.

  • It was a good way to get out of the house as I worked from home, and that could be isolating. But it was not without it's problems. One of the older women in the club was a real attention hound

  • and instigator. She really did not like Wayward, who wasn't out there causing her problems, but Wayward did a lot for the club and it "showed up" Ms. Attentionslut. My wife? Well she had no interest in the club, and she saw

  • it as a chance for her to hang out with her friends down the street or have them over. She thought the thing with Wayward was cute and charming. My wife has zero jealous bones in her body and cannot stand attention hounds. She laughed when I told her the latest Ms. Attentionslut's antics. Oh and a true Redhead's temper...

  • So several years of friendship and the club go by, with various amounts of harassment and whispered rumors by Ms. Attentionslut. It was the yearly club planning dinner, and Ms. Attentionslut had had more than her share of box wine.

  • Wayward, who got with a patient and was late, came in after the dinner and gave me a hug. Ms. Attentionslut said in a loud stage "whisper" to everyone "Gee, I wonder what Ms. Raccoon would think of that. Maybe someone should tell her."

  • I saw red. I pulled out my phone and speed dialed my wife. "Oh, you have something to say to my wife, do you Ms. Attentionslut? Let me help you out here." I put it on speaker phone. "Hey honey, someone here has something to say to you about me and Wayward."
    via Superb_Raccoon
  • "Oh? Hand me over to her, dear." And when Ms. Attentionslut tried to say something, Ms. Raccoon let her temper fly. She read her the Riot Act, mocked her, ripped her up one side and down the other... and told her to keep her nose out of other people's business if she liked the way it looked. She would

  • never hurt anybody, but it sounded like she would, and that was what counted. The club heard it. It grew silent. Ms. Attentionslut was imitating a fish out of water. She was turning even pinker than the wine could account for and Ms. Attentionslut was imitating a fish out of water making "ah ah ah" sounds.

  • Then my wife started to laugh, which her laugh is very infectious. Other people started to laugh. Ms. Attentionslut started to really turn pink, then ran out of the room. A 60 year old woman crying like a toddler.

  • Well, in the spirit of the Tiki Club, here is to you Wayward... fair winds and following seas. *Downs the last of his Mai Tai*

  • PoppaTater1 My wife (then girlfriend) and I went to a small college in Oklahoma City. One day someone had left a building I was in and went to a building she was in. The person started to tell her how they saw me hugging another woman. Tracy looked at her watch and then the other person and said, it's 3pm. That was probably Gaylene and walked away.

  • lindleya1 Its only 10:45 for me, so a bit early to raise a glass to Wayward as others have done, so instead I'll make a cup of tea in solidarity. Props to all 3 of you for normalising friendships without jealousy, and for your sense of humour in the face of adversity
