I don't really understand what she wants...
Maybe some of the male strangers are not ones she feels comfortable with them coming up & talking to her? Like if she just gets a weird vibe from someone, she might want you there & for you to "put your arm around her".. just to show that she is taken. Or something like that.

I'd say,.... talk to her. Have some kind of sign/clue between the two of you. If she pulls on her left ear... twirls her wedding ring around & around... etc. A sign that says "Step into this conversation honey & get me out of talking to this guy/back this guy off of me".

Do you get what I'm saying?

(But I am also kind of reserved around some peeps & would like my hubby to put his arm around me, if some guy seemed to start talking to me too much at a party.)
