Hi everybody,

I just had the urge to post the following.....for those that don't know my story, my xWS and I have a business and 95% of our customers are female.

Anyways, my husband had an appointment with this one gal the other day and in the morning he received a text message from her. Just wanted to add that he had only worked one time for her before and therefore they really don't know each other and my husband is Mr...... for her.

The text message went as followed:
Good Morning! Tried calling you this morning without success. I'm on my my to :::: with stressy customers and therefore have to call our appointment off. Should we make a new appointment or can you work it out on your own??
lovly greetings ( this is translated from german to english and it's a greeting that usually people use when they know each other very well)

Anyways, my husband showed me the text message immediately and we saw that this woman did NOT even try to phone him as there was NO number on his cell.
My husband found this text message quit unusual for a customer that he has only seen once or twice, therefore we decided to text message her back.

We wrote: Mrs.XXXXX
you can call me for a new appointment.
Mr.XXXXXX

This was approx. 10 days ago and we haven't heard from her since....................

What do you guys think??? I think that she was trying to test her waters and see how far she could go with my husband and that she's embarrassed now and scared away because she realizes that she has no chance.

Or am I reading too much in this all???

BB,

Sucks doesn't it that so many folks out there are willing to "test the waters" with someone elses spouse. Agree with star*fish, radar up.

I've been at this more than 3 years now, and I keep my radar UP.

I've been up to this myself for 6+ years and believe me............my radar is up. The great thing about this is that my husband failed before to ever proove to me that he was loyal towards me.

This was his very first chance where he did not fail......and boy it feels good. He feels good about it too and so far he hasn't heard from this *potential* OW since.
He told me that he was never that aware of how actions can affect the behaviour of others.......

But no matter what............I can't lean back and take it easy, I'm still alert because somehow I sorta think that it could of been his behaviour that might of reinforced this woman to write in such a way.

My husband swears that it was just business.........friendly but business and that he didn't like this over-friendly text message, mostly because she also lied and said, she had tried to call him. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> (it was probably easier for her to write than to "test his waters personally")

My husband is starting to really see how some women tick and he sees how one thing can definately lead to another.

BTW: we're doing great otherwise.
