I want to frame my answer based on the thread that spawned this one. When you tell your wife that a female friend is trying to bed you...and it is the third time you told her this year (different women), don't be surprised when she believes that somehow it is your fault. The fact that you didn't actually sleep with all her friends may well not make her trust you after your dumping this on her. Everyone loses.

Women are scary crazy. I once had a friend of my wife's decide she hated me...and couldn't be my wife's friend any more unless she dumped me (after almost 40 years of marriage) because we were leaving a function and I did not shake her hand...but shook anther lady's hand. It was, of course, because the other lady offered her hand. A gentlemen does not offer his hand to a lady unless she offers her's first (old school rules...which I follow). Hard to imagine that the woman (not even a close friend) expected my wife to choose between us...and to pick her. On positive note, ow we have not heard for the woman in years. Even so, my wife was still mad at me (because somehow, I was partially at fault).
