Woman Says Husband ‘Exploded' at Her After She Questioned Him About a Woman at the Supermarket — Wonders If He's Cheating
A woman says her husband 'exploded' in anger after she asked him a simple question about a woman who seemingly recognized him at the grocery store The woman says that the outburst was 'very upsetting' and 'very out of character' The woman shared her story on a popular community forum, and a lot of her fellow community members said this seems like red flag behaviorA woman says her husband 'exploded' at her in anger at the grocery store, and she is 'beyond confused and hurt.' The woman detailed her story on the 'Am I Being Unreasonable?' forum on the U.K.-based community site a place where women can go to seek advice from other women. In her post, the woman says that she and her husband have been together 'since childhood' and have 'no real marital issues.' However, she says that they were recently at the grocery store, where it looked like a woman in a nearby checkout aisle recognized her husband. She says that the woman appeared to try to wave at her husband, at which point he moved out of sight to a different part of the store. 'Just before leaving, she stopped and turned to look as if expecting someone to come over to her. Then she turned and left,' the original poster (OP) added. She continues, 'A minute later, [my husband] arrived back at the register. I finished up, and as we were leaving, [I] said, 'I think the lady on the next register knew you?' He replied, 'Yes.' I gave it a moment and then prompted, 'Work?' And he said, 'Yes.'

The OP says that she felt as though something was 'a bit off,' and so she asked her husband about the encounter one more time, at which point 'he exploded,' which she says is 'very unusual' for him. 'He said I was being jealous, does he have to give me her life story … he doesn't know her, doesn't speak to her [at] work, and all he knows is she's married to the boss's nephew.' She says he then told her he didn't want to go shopping in the first place 'on his day off,' and didn't want to get stuck making 'awkward conversation with a colleague.' 'This response felt out of the blue and was very upsetting,' the OP continued, adding that her husband opted not to join her for a family barbecue at her parents' that evening and 'ignored' her for the rest of the night. The OP admits that her husband was under a 'lot of stress' that day due to a plumbing 'disaster' at their home that morning that required a 'big fix,' and also said that he later apologized. However, she also says she is 'beyond hurt and confused,' and reiterated that the outburst was 'very out of character.' 'Thoughts would be appreciated,' she says at the end of her post. The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! A number of the OP's fellow community members said they thought her husband's behavior seemed highly suspicious. 'You're the one who's married to him, and your senses are obviously telling you something. Getting angry often (though not always) means guilt,' one person said. 'Sorry but that's f------ weird — unless he's generally prone to similar behavior (and you say he isn't), then something is definitely off. The fact [that] he disappeared when he saw this woman and his explosive reaction to your question means he's hiding something,' someone else said. However, others thought that the OP was, in fact, overreacting, and that her husband was likely just stressed. 'I wouldn't say because a woman waved at him that [he's] having an affair. He knew her from work, barely, he had a stressful morning and the last thing you want [to do] is make small talk when you're in a mood,' one person said. Read the original article on People

Woman Sparks Debate After Saying People Who Call Repeatedly After Being Ignored the First Time Are ‘Rude'
A woman says she thinks it's 'rude' when people repeatedly call her cell phone 'If I don't answer the first call, what makes them think I'm going to answer the second, third or tenth time?' she wrote on the community forum Mumsnet Readers had mixed opinions on her takeA woman says she thinks it's 'rude' when someone calls her multiple times directly after she doesn't pick up the first time — and it's sparking some debate. The woman detailed her experience in the 'Am I Being Unreasonable?' forum on the U.K.-based community site a place where people can go to get input and advice about an array of topics. 'If I don't answer the first call, what makes them think I'm going to answer the second, third or tenth time?' she argued. 'Sometimes I'm having a shower or my phone is in another room [charging], and I'll go to it and there'll be 20 missed calls. Or I might be at work. Any number of reasons why I can't answer,' she continued, adding that it's a 'few certain people' in her life who do this. 'Mobile phones have missed call notifications, so it's obvious that someone will ring back when they can,' she concluded her post. A number of post commenters vehemently agreed with the original poster (OP). 'My phone is for me, for my convenience. I'll answer or call back when I want to, no matter how many times you ring. I really hate being contactable so easily,' one person wrote. 'The more people do that, the more I don't answer,' someone else said. 'If someone called me that number of times without a damned good reason, I would block their number.'

Some people, however, said it depends on the situation. 'Generally, yes, but it depends why,' one person wrote. 'If someone is ringing me because I'm 10 minutes late to meet them and they want to know an ETA or whatever, I think it's far more acceptable than if someone is ringing for a chat or something that can wait.' Other community members said they completely disagreed with the OP's perspective, and said they actually take issue with people not answering their phones in the first place. 'I don't find it rude at all if someone rings me. I grew up with landline phone calls and letters. When I was a teenager, the only way to contact someone quickly was by phone call or telegram. I think most of you need to unclench,' one person commented. The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! Another person suggested the OP should perhaps consider having some empathy for the person who's calling, as they might not mean to be rude. "I do this [call repeatedly] — I can't help it. It's an anxiety thing,' they explained. "If people don't answer their phones, I think they are dead … If someone doesn't want to speak to me, that's fine, but a quick message to say, 'I'm busy' is fine. Then I'll leave you alone.'
