You have reason to be upset, the woman sounds like a nut job. Ignore it, your husband is yours, and she's obviously built something up in her head that doesn't exist. If she brings it up again, tell her nicely that the whole conversation makes you uncomfortable, and you'd wish she would stop talking about it. Hopefully she'll get the message. Good Luck!

No way you have every right to be upset. I went though somthing just like this a few months ago. I do in home parties with passion parties and was at this one hosts house. any way no one really showed but 2 people and this one girl started asking me about what i thought of my hubbys x-wife. then went on to tell me that they had been together and she felt that he took atvantage of her. and that she got pregante with his baby at that time. (mind you she said she just had a baby about 3 or 4 weeks before) any way i kept changing the subject and she kept going back. i was really upset when i left and called my hubby to tell him what had happend. he and his best friend told me how she was a slu* and slept with everyone at that time and that she still dose and all she was doing was tring to piss me off. and it did but i did not let her see this. bad thing was i had to go do a party for her in her house grr but nothing was said at that party and things went well. i told hubby what i was going to do if she started bring it up and he said ok. so my advise is to tell your hubby what she said and then go from there. you two may want to go talk then together later or just leave it be. aslong as you are comfortable with the out come.

Well that was rude. Angel, she's just trying to make herself look like "the one that got away." Some people really regret being remembered as "the one night stand"... later in life, they look back and realize that it makes them look like... well... less than respectable, if you get what I mean? She was trying to make it seem that your husband wanted a relationship with her and that SHE was the one that turned him away. This would give her more credibility in some people's eyes. You know that your husband wasn't interested in her. He never had anything more to do with her so you can believe him on that one. I think it's normal to be upset at what she was saying -- I know I would be! Who really wants to hear someone dredge up a one night stand that happened so many years ago? It doesn't even matter. But she sees he's happy with you and has a new family and all and she probably wanted to make herself feel desirable. If anything, don't be jealous... feel sorry for her. ;)

Don't let her get too you. She is trying very hard to make you jelious. She had him for one night and lost him and maybe even didn't care but now that you were there she just had to rub it in. If this continues to bother you just talk to your husband about it. He should be truthfull to you if he truly thinks this was a big mistake. It sounds like this one night stand was before you came along. If so there should be no problem. Except for blabbermouth I really don't see her as a threat of any kind. Of course you feel upset. And you should...about her and her indescrestion. There is nothing worse than a kiss and tell person. It reflects a person who is vindictive and very few men would ever have anything to do with her if they knew this.

sounds like the woman is trying to delude herself into thinking that one night with her was more memorable than a life with his wife... hmmmm a one night stand that convinced him he didn't want anymore or a woman that he decided he wanted to spend the rest of his life with... doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who won that battle.

Oh my goodness! That girl is weird! Hahaha.. You know what I actually believe? I think that girl is the one who is in love with your husband! She is also an insecure brat who's got nothing better to do than try to make enemies out of lovers. Hahahaha.. as I said, I think she's the one who is in love with your hubby. Anyways, if I were you, I'd just ignore her, let her realize that whatever she is saying is not affecting you I don't know of your relationship with your husband, but maybe you can talk to him, share your feelings, let him know that it upset you, that she said all those things, but also reassure him that it actually don't matter that you know it was in the past and all, but you wouldn't be human if you didn't get a little bit affected, that you're just letting of steam. I don't think it's wrong to feel upset or jealous, I think that girl was out to do just that, to make you feel upset and jealous, she is just a mean girl who don't have anything better to do. I mean, in any conversation with anybody's wife or husband for that matter, etiquette only dictates that you do not talk about past relationships, especially if it involves you with their current partner. Duh? how dumb can that be? So just think, that girl is a dumb, mean and stupid person who thinks so highly of herself that men can't get over her, will you let her ruin your day? No, don't let her. I think your biggest defense is the knowledge of the truth, that your husband can't stand her and that he loves you and whatever happened between them was nothing more than flesh calling flesh and no real emotion was actually exchanged. Let her live in her fantasy world, cause you definitely got the reality.

Sounds like this girl is jealous of your life. She was just trying to make you mad. You should of told her to shut the heck up, that no one wants to hear her. It also sounds like she won, because it made you mad. She's like a kid that does crap for attention. Makes you wonder if she has a mental illness. Next time, make sure you don't go where she is. But if you can't help it, and she starts her crap, just tell her to shut up.

You have a good reason to be upset but this is what I think:Just rub it in her face that she didn;t stay with him (even though she lied through her teeth about it) and that it was her lose. Just throw daggers towards her and trust me in the end she will feel so stupid after all that she would like to run away. Don't let her get to you. She obviously isn't worth it. And if you want to be the bigger person, simply say..."Hey! I would appreciate if you didn't speak about my husband like that. That was an old issue and I choose for you to keep it in the past. Enough is enough, and you should be over it, get over it, or just ignore it. Show some respect!" Basically that. Don't let her eat at you. She's not worth it sweetie.

you do have the right to be upset...dont know what for, but it seems like that woman was intentionally trying to harm you...maybe jealousy... if you're sure about yourself and your feelings for hubby and about his feelings for you ignore what she said and keep at being happy :)

I agree with everyone else and would like to add that you have much better manners than I do. I would have confronted her on it when my husband returned, right in front of him in order to set the matter straight so that it didn't come up again. Some people have to blow their own horns because no one else will. I certainly wouldn't waste my energy being jealous of THAT!

Dear Friend, U offcourse ave a reason to get upset. But one thing you should keep in mind is Your husband has accepted that is was a Big mistake..and also he is trying to forget this nightmare.. so its a clear indication that he is only yours.. Pls disscuss this matter with yur husband & tell that lady not to speak out on same topic again & again, b'cause its only going to waste her energy & your Time...

Oh my! what a rude and strange person. Obviously, she feels some sort of lack in her own marriage, and perhaps this fantasy is the only thing that gets her through the day sometimes....however, it was very tacky for her to have commented on it with you! Your feelings are totally natural and well adjusted to boot. If you are actually friends with her (or just acquaintances) perhaps send her an email explaining how uncomfortable you were with the situation, and gently suggest that she may want to talk to someone about this fixation she has on your husband, which isn't health. Just my .02

You have every right to be upset. It's great that you and your husband have worked things out and trust each other again. But she has no right to talk about that to you!! I mean, it's good that she's not living in denial about it, but she should not be flaunting it around, least of all to you. That's just insensitive, rude, and, frankly, kind of stupid. I'm so sorry about that!! You sound like a really strong woman to put up with that. But you shouldn't have to.

i think feeling upset and jealous is normal since the person involves is your beloved husband but its already the past and you know your husband better than anybody so ignore that girl. Dont even show to her your affected. Just act like you havent hear anything and just call it a day.

If your husband didn't tell her to shut up then I would be upset. Number one you should never have been put into that situation. Number two your husband should have ither got up and had you to leave or taken the girls husband and told him to get a hold on his wife or he would pay the price. Sounds like common sense would have been the way to go in that situation. You'd be better off discussing this with your husband and let him know how much it bothered you.

It's not wrong to feel upset. It's but a natural feeling to feel that way if someone is trying to say things just to irritate you or trying to ruin a good relationship. Some girls are just insensitive or just want to cause pain for others. Let it be, what's important is that your husband have already told you about it and had been honest with you which means that it meant nothing to him. Just a 1 night stand.
