Oh! No she didn't reach over and grab my husband's french fry!

How familiar is too familiar? I was watching Ice Cube's show Are We There Yet on TNT and Pepa from the group Salt-n-Pepa guest stared as the lead character's field producer. They were each eating lunch in his home studio when his wife came in to tell him something. They were just talking but all of a sudden she reaches over her plate on to his and grabs a fry and eats it in front of his wife! Now he just met this woman hours before and she was already reaching over his plate! So after she left, of course the wife was going off about the fry! Her argument was that her eating off his plate is a little to familiar and he didn't see the big deal. But as a woman (or a wife) she knew exactly what she was doing. And by the end of the show, she did try to make a move on him. So my question is, how familiar is too familiar when it comes to other women and your husband?

After watching the show, I started thinking would I have a problem with a woman reaching over and eating off my husbands plate. And I think I would. I think I would even have a problem with my friends eating off his plate (UNLESS they asked first!). I also started thinking of other ways females might be too familiar with my own husband. I can't really think of any particular instance right now where a female was out of line but I know there are a couple of females that I am keeping my eye on. It's a weird feeling when a your husband is better friends with certain (females) people than you are but yet I do know them. Some of the chicks are married, some are not but I am watching them all. They smile like, "Hey B!" but when Earl comes around they act like they just need him to do so much! I am watching chicks! I'm watching!

I like this one! Yes, touching something on my husband’s plate is way out of order. If you ask, I will get you your own plate. Me personally, I don’t do gifts either. There is never a reason for a woman to buy my husband a gift, not even for Christmas, unless it’s a grab bag or you are family related by blood. I may be extreme, but I don’t play when it comes to my husband. I am very possessive.

Women are sneaky. Anything that makes you uncomfortable is too familiar. I've had a bad feeling about a chick in the past. She told me "I'm married myself. "I'm harmless, you don't have to worry about me". Meanwhile she was sending inappropriate pictures of herself to my husband via email. Trust no one ladies.

Girl, this is a good one! I had an ex-boyfriends wife try to act like she was cool with me, (emailing me, etc!)when all along she was making sure I leave her husband alone! Friends close, enemies closer. She need to make sure he leaves me alone! You are right, trust no one ;)

I feel all of you ladies. Women can be very sneaky, and men can also be very naive. No woman should be reaching over grabbing anything. I don't even allow my friends to become to familiar. When we marry, we become one, thus anyone that is not a part of that union that might cause discomfort and/or problems should be put in their place. My husband knows it; no ex-girlfriends, no ex-girlfriends friends, none of them will be hanging out at our house. I even keep my distance with his sisters; when they see their brother happy and they are not in a relationship, or an unhappy one, they may want to sabotage yours. Like B. said; keep your eyes on them!!!! Before you might have to put your hands on them!!!!

OK!! this is a good one!! No!! is the answer. Another woman should no eat off your husband's plate, hug him, kiss him on the cheek, grab his hand, any other thing you can think of that is very intimate!! This is YOUR JOB as his WIFE not anyone else's. I wish a CHICK WOULD!! I don't play that. I think it is EXTREMELY INAPPROPRIATE for another female to do that (not being related to him). Why would you feel the need to do that? We all know the act of sharing food is a very intimate and sometimes sexual act. So another woman should not have this experience with your husband. And of course MEN do NOT see WOMEN as we do...since WE are the same gender we know how MOST Women think. I point out things to my husband ALL the time like this when I feel a woman is being inappropriate. He claims I am 'tripping' but of course later on, I find out I am right, as usual. But I have had friends who expected my hubby to 'do' things for them. I was like oh really? Wanting him to do this and that?? Uhhh no??!! He is NOT your husband. That's how it starts them being too familiar. And to ToshaDevon.... you are so right it does take too. But we as wives should point out to our husbands what is going on, because sometimes they don't think a woman has ulterior motives but often times MOST do. Why leave that window of opportunity open?? Shut it quick all open windows or doors. :-)
