Default Re: Husband's married coworker won't leave him alone

We did purchase the house before he started his job, so I know that it was just coincidence that we live so close to each other. After he was talking about her for a few weeks, I suggested we get together with her and her family because he kept saying how funny she was. He said he didn't want to because she had kids and we don't. But then he said they should come over to check out the renovations we did, so I’m confused. Now I'm not sure I can get together with her and her husband because I feel so much resentment towards her.

I mentioned to my husband that when he has conversations at work about his day the conversations at home start to diminish, which they had, partly my fault because I shut down when my feelings are hurt.

Her relationship with her husband must not be too bad because they just got back from a family trip to FL.

I have read about EA’s on this site and that was my major motivation to try and nip this in the butt as soon as I could. I know if I had not said anything to him a couple weeks ago he would still be texting and facebooking her outside of work even if it is just friendly talk. He also said that she is friendly with everyone at work, but I don’t think she’s emailing everyone else like she has to him.

Her family trip to FL does not mean anything in regards to her chasing your husband. People compartimentalize with their marriage and affairs.

Talk to her husband. Let him know that there is a problem. She will get so busy trying to save her own marriage that she will most likely leave your husband alone.

I also noticed this week he started deleting his work emails. Which I found odd because it is normal for him to keep emails, just doesn’t delete them. He had me look at something on his computer last month and I noticed he had 645 emails in his read inbox. I actually mentioned he should go through them and get rid of emails he didn't need.

He's deleting his e-mails?

Get a keylogger.

All of his emails to her are sent through his phone.

His "affair" went underground. It'll be much harder for you to track him and his message/texts. You need to find the husband of his coworker and expose it to him. The longer you wait the higher the chances of it going physical.

A few years back at a company dinner, a co-worker of my husband's was trying to flirt with him. I walked over to them, and she had the ballz to lay her hand on his arm in a flirtacious way, right in front of me, and say, "He's such a gem. Someone might try to steal him away." I didn't like the comment. I looked her right in the eye and said, "I wouldn't want to be the woman who tries it." She removed her hand and backed off. Thankfully she no longer works there.

That's the approach I would take. Not everyone will agree, and most are more diplomatic than I. But I say a woman who is actively scheming to take your man doesn't deserve to be handled with kid gloves.

I stand by what I say. Everything your husband is doing is sending a clear signal that he likes it and wants it to continue.

I really hate saying this but I think he's already having an EA and you need to act FAST. Deleting e-mails is a huge red flag...and 645 of them? Holy cow. That's more than work-related.
Well done.

The 645 were in one of his personal email accounts, not work account, but that's why I found it odd, he never bothered to delete any emails either work or personal before.

I'm not sure, I think since he knows I'm looking at his emails he is deleting hers even the friendly ones because then I have more fuel.

You can get a backup of deleted texts.

He syncs it to his Macbook occasionally. I'm not sure if he is deleting text, he still has the earlier ones from her. I think he's deleting their correspondence on his work account.

What a mess!

He's in an EA. Anyone who puts this much drama into their life when he could SO EASILY nip it, is in an EA.

No matter what he says, he digs this attention and this chick.
