    For me it depends. I don't really see a need to tell but then again I see no reason not to tell. I guess if it was someone who knew I was with my partner I wouldn't tell because it would irk my fella that someone would do that (I'm not saying he'd go after them, he'd just be annoyed about it).

    If it was some randomer who didn't know me, I'd probably tell but then again it is quite insignificant and I wouldn't want to come across as boastful.

    In a nutshell probably not...but maybe!

    See that's where you're a bigger man than I am

    I'm bigger than most, I'm 6ft 5 and I weigh 18 stone. :rotfl:

    So yeah, the guy had balls alright, he tried it on with a woman who does martial arts and has an OH built like a house. And he could fit in her handbag from what I remember, but then most people look kinda small to me! :D

    If it was a colleague then I wouldn't mention it - what is the point in upsetting him when there is nothing happening? He asks or makes a pass, I say no, that's it no dramas.......

    If it was a complete stranger then I would def tell my hubby, keeps him on his toes lol I also tell him about flirty offers from guys I do know as he knows this is just lighthearted banter.

    Definitely would tell OH - his response would be along the lines of "he definitely must have been the worse for wear" and we would have had a good laugh about it.

    I imagine the colleague will stay well out of your way as he will be a bit embarrassed - but at least he had the good grace to apologise to your wife - he probably regrets sharing with the rest of the team though as the other ladies will likely stay away from him when he's been drinking in future as he' obviously a bit of a prat!
  • I told an ex that the instructor at my kickboxing class had asked me out to dinner, not knowing I was with someone. He didn't seem hugely bothered at the time.

    The next time I went to training, he decided to come along, having claimed to be knowledgeable about martial arts before he met me.

    After the warm up, where I could tell it half killed him, we paired off for light sparring. First, I was paired off with the instructor, and then onto my partner. At the first move, he brought his elbow down directly on my shin and cracked it. I never returned to kickboxing as a result of that.



    I would never tell a partner now.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Do you not trust yourself to now make a better choice of partner?

    I would definitely tell!
    To not tell my husband would imply I had something to hide.

    I've just mentioned this to my hubby and he's giggling! If I'm out for the night he usually waits up for me to get home, will make me a cuppa and something to eat and I spill EVERYTHING about the night (well, a couple of drinks and no one can shut me up!) he thinks it's hilarious! I've done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide so I tell him. Mind you, he always says I'll never be able to have an affair because I'll tell him after a couple of drinks!

    Someone actually trying it on with me? I would tell, of course I would. And it wouldn't be a big deal at all. Unless it was someone we knew, obviously!



    Needless to say, I wouldn't report back every wolf whistle or lecherous comment from a random stranger lol.


    Have to say, I'm surprised at her colleagues who say that she shouldn't have told you.

    Oh my goodness, Jojo, I'm sorry to hear that. What a despicable thing to do.
