Dear Amy: My friend asked me to baby sit for her 6-year-old. She is married and pregnant with her second child.
She and her husband provided their phone numbers to me before they went to work — I had never sat for them before.
They have a little pool, so I was laying out in my bikini watching the boy play and her husband showed up and started talking to me. I felt like he was criticizing his wife, my friend.
I became uncomfortable when he started talking about the "seven-year itch." He said that's when men want to cheat.
I put on my shorts and shirt. I have never been put in a situation like this.
I have a boyfriend and I love him very much.
When her husband went back to work, he sent me a text not to tell his wife what he had said and ended it with, "By the way — nice bathing suit
"
I didn't respond and then he texted me "Sorry." I still didn't reply back.
When my friend got home from work I wanted to tell her, but she is pregnant and I didn't know how she would react.
I left my phone at their house and when I got it back I realized those messages where gone! He had erased them!
They want me to baby-sit again, but I don't want to.
Everyone is telling me not to tell her, but I really think I should. I would want to know if my husband behaved like this.
