oh, poor karen.

Dear Amy: I invited "Karen" into our all-couples group of friends. She is single. No one objected, including my wife. We have gotten together once a month for dinner over the past few months. At one point, my wife did tell me to please "discourage the overboard touchy-feely stuff."

Thirteen of us met last night for dinner, and Karen pushed between my wife and me and took the chair next to me. While we were waiting for our food, she laid her head on my shoulder and her left arm around my neck and brought her hand up to caress my cheek.

My wife shocked me when she looked at the two of us and said, "Karen, that is my husband you are coiled around. So, please disengage so I don't have to come over there and slap some sense into you." Karen said nothing as she stalked out.

I don't know what to do. Should I call Karen and apologize, or should I insist that my wife call her and apologize? My wife hasn't mentioned the incident, so I don't know how she would respond. — At a Loss

    Your wife handled this so much better than I would have.  No way are any apologies need from you or your wife - but it wouldn't hurt for Karen to call and apologize to you both.

    Okay, I read Amy's response, and I have to say, she sucks as much as New Prudie.

    Hm.  I'd be super pissed at DH if he allowed something like this to continue in the first place.  So if I had to say something to this woman, he'd better not say a damn word to me about "my" behavior.

    What was Amy's response?

    The OP's beyond sense if he has no clue why his wife is pissed and wants to figure out how to keep Karen around.

    Dear Loss: Assuming this really happened (and is not merely a plot recap from "The Young and the Restless"), I'd say that you and your wife are the ones who need to talk.

    On the one hand, she definitely took care of business in her own (socially threatening) way. On the other, she treated you like a kitten stuck in a tree. You conveniently don't say how you felt about "Karen's" encroachment. When you talk to your wife, this is the information void that needs to be filled.

    I would have said the same thing.  I actually got into it with a BM at a wedding who wouldn't stop molesting my husband after he told her to leave him the eff alone several times.  She ended up getting into a fist fight later at the wedding (with someone else, not me) and escorted out by the police.  It was a klassy wedding, for sure.

    Hee @ Hmo.

    Ali, but your H was fending off the 'advances'.  Mister-mister here seems to enjoy and reciprocate.

    I followed the notification! it worked!

    but i agree this is the husband's place to say something also. and if he likes it, she has a husband problem along with a Karen problem. i don't see much wrong with amy's response. maybe it could have had more, "wake up, dude" in it.

    Very true, DH gets very uncomfortable when ladies hit on him.  I've heard him say in his sleep, "No, stop, I'm married!"

    He's a good guy :)

    It needed WAY more of a "wake up, dude" or maybe a "wtf is wrong with you, dude".
