Is it appropriate for a married man to be drinking in a hot tub with another woman?

Inappropiate behaviour x

Relax what is yours is yours

It’s. Not. Respect

He should have said no.

Extremely inappropriate.

Out of respect for his wife he should have went in and went to bed. After all it was well after midnight. So momma was watching the clock. I would have had a conniption fix on him after we got home

Oh you just asked a hot question, with out a doubt he should have excused himself and left her there. When he decided it was ok to stay knowing you were inside tending to he’s son he lost all respect for you and if you don’t put him in his place and he admits it was wrong he will continue doing stuff like that.

It doesn’t matter if the wife trusts her husband. Out of respect for his wife, the husband should set boundaries for himself so there is no opportunities for miss conception in his actions or leaving himself open for temptation!

Yes inappropriate but also your husband should of got out to look after the toddler and let you have some time in the hot tub why should you miss out on adult time

Much ado about nothing. :woman_shrugging:

You Should have went and climbed into her husband’s bed and talked :wink:
See if it would have bothered her!:joy:

I don’t think so, as long as they have clothes on. Unless there are other issues in your relationship to begin with.

I think it depends on the relationship. Some people wouldn’t care but personally I’d let him know that it isn’t right to be out there with another woman for one, and for two it isn’t right to leave me with the baby alone :woman_shrugging:

I don’t think it’s inappropriate as much as it is upsetting to the wife. Why would he prefer to be outside with another woman instead of his wife? I would do a sit down and talk with him.

Yes. I wouldn’t be comfortable with that. Just like I know my husband wouldn’t be comfortable if the rolls were reversed.

Whether it’s inappropriate or not, why would he want to stay out there with another woman all night instead of going to his wife and kid? Some men are really so selfish.

I say it’s inappropriate but every one has different views on things. I wouldn’t like it if my man did that to me and he wouldn’t like it if the roles were reversed. I just wouldn’t feel comfortable in general if it were me anyways. Knowing the man I love is inside with our kid and that’s where I want to be.

Why would it be inappropriate? You’re all couples and it wasn’t exactly hidden. If you knew you would be chasing the kiddo and he would be chilling with his family then him in the hot tub with a tipple wasn’t really news. So what if the person he was chatting to was female. For all we know, they were talking football! I trust my DH and vice versa. This question might be more, is there trust in your relationship?
If the issue is more with you being excluded, then let him know that. Men are really bad at the psychic/ESP thing that we woman generally do pick up on

Why are you left to handle the child alone? Did you get to hang out with the other adults at all? That would be very weird. Parwnting is a partnership.

I mean, if the roles were reversed he probably wouldn’t be comfortable with that. Also, was her husband comfortable with it?

Maybe if it was someone we knew better I would be more comfortable but I would be uncomfortable with that. Maybe 15 min or something wouldn’t be a big deal but staying out till late at night, I would feel insecure.

As a woman who went thru things like this throughout my entire first marriage, I have so much sympathy for you!! I know exactly what it feels like to go places and be left alone with our son every time we visited any in-laws (we did not get along, they were always very rude and hateful to me). I actually enjoyed when I finally had my son so I at least wasn’t alone. But I was still miserable and lonely. We are now divorced (6+ years) and my now husband would never disrespect me that way. I’m so sorry you are going thru this, but I think the only thing to do is talk to him and explain how it made you feel. Prayers!

Absolutely not okay. He should have gotten out with everyone else. The fact that he’s even out there when you two are inside is a problem also.

It all depends, if you trust him and maybe she is just talking to him cause he is a good listener, down side… maybe she likes him. It all depends, see if there is a new number on the phone lol

Me personally no. I would expect my husband to get out when the other man did.

I think it’s inappropriate for him to assume he can do what he likes and you will be happy to take care of the kids, what if you wanted to get in the tub and have a wine to relax

All I’m going to say is you’re only hearing one side of the story…I would like to hear his side. She may give him crap about everything and anything and he just wanted time away from her. He may have just really been trying to relax on vacation and didn’t feel the need to get out just because she was in there, because he’s a good husband and never would do anything anyway. Y’all are making assumptions just because it’s two people of the opposite sex. Lots of people can hang out without things being sexual or being made to feel guilty about it. I’m guessing she’s good looking too, so if she wasn’t, and maybe overweight in the wife’s eyes, then would the wife have still had a problem? There are just too many variables that we don’t know about to really judge the situation.

In my relationship, I wouldn’t mind it. I’ve already stayed up til 5 am with my guy friends just drinking and talking. He gets rides at work from girls he works with and whatnot. I trust him but if that’s something you aren’t comfortable with I would definitely just talk to him and maybe try to have Him see it from your perspective

I wouldn’t like it… and it’s not horrific but it doesn’t feel right. The bigger issue…he doesn’t feel like its inappropriate while you take care of the kids…he kicks it…and wasnt just an extra hr it’s was for hours/late. … I don’t think its a wise choice. But I also think you two should get on the same page. After toddler went to sleep I would be out there talking about it’s time for bed.

Sounds like he wanted to feel like “he still got it” at your sacrifice.

I don’t really see what the big deal is. You think he’s going to cheat when you’re in the house? Sounds a bit insecure to me.

Well if you lay the hammer down on this then you have to be okay with not talking to any male friends. It’s fine to speak up but then you have to follow the same law you put down. Personally, I’ve been with the father of my children for the last 10 years if he decided 1 day that he was unhappy and wanted to seek attention from a female…I’d want him to go and see if he’s missing something in his life. Idk I’d rather have a man dedicated to me and my boys but I don’t ever want him staying for MY happiness because he deserves it just as much as me and sometimes people grow apart

Why was your husband chilling with another woman and not u and your child :thinking::roll_eyes:

Highly inappropriate and ridiculous

You should have definately made a fuss about it since he seemed too preoccupied to notice his wrongdoing

I’d be annoyed that I was stuck inside with the toddler while he got to socialize and have a few drinks with other adults. The woman doesn’t bother me.

When the kid was in bed why didn’t you join them (the whole group, I mean)? I would!

If hes knows your uncomfortable with those kind of situations then he should have gotten out with everyone else and respected you because your his partner and why would a partner want to make the other partner feel uneasy. Being in a serious relationship and or being married, both partners need to respect each other in every situation otherwise it’s disrespectful and hurtful and why would anyone want their partner to feel bad or sad or nervous. Its not right. BUT if he doest KNOW that it makes you uncomfortable then theres not enough communication going on and or he doesn’t respect you.

Why did everyone just leave you & your baby alone inside while they had fun … I’d be extremely offended by that too.

Why didn’t he want to go be with you & your child but stay in a hot tub with an unknown woman to talk and drink well into the night… I’d be pissed.

Well first off my husband wouldn’t have stayed alone with another woman. But if he did I trust him enough to know it’s just a conversation with another adult an nothing more.

It depends on the situation and relationship of the couples! First it is definitely inappropriate if either of the other spouse’s are made to feel uncomfortable by the situation!!

Everyone who says no, it’s not appropriate: switch the woman out for another dude. Still say it’s inappropriate? If the answer is no then the fact is you don’t trust your husband to be alone with another woman and that’s a much bigger issue.

If the answer is yes because you think it’s unfair that you’re stuck in the house while he’s out having fun then that is totally fair (also my viewpoint) but don’t fling shade towards a woman who didn’t actually do anything wrong.

Me personally I wouldn’t care because my husband and I really do not have trust issues. However, it seems like it bothered you. What exactly bothered you? Is it an addressable issue. Can you guys take through it? Maybe he was enjoying a conversation that he doesn’t get from you. Not that your less but just a good laugh. Sometimes I like having laughs with random people and then go back to my day to day. I like small highlights. Maybe he liked talking to a new person. We’re they cuddled up and touching. Not everything is cheating or a betrayal. He was also 8n clear site of you. However I wasn’t there and may not know all the details.

Soooo…. They weren’t doing anything but hanging out and shooting the shit? So what was it that triggered the insecurity and possessiveness, the fact that they’re in a hot tub, or the fact that she’s a woman?

Depends on if they truly were only drinking and talking. I think it’s fine if it was truly innocent.

As a married man, even I wouldn’t be comfortable with something like that. If it was a longtime lady friend, maybe. When it’s that late I’m spending time with my wife.

I think it’s inappropriate that you couldn’t be out with them, they could make it work somehow so you all as a family could join in the hot tub/outdoors festivities, and yes it’s inappropriate they stayed in the hot tub together AND that they stayed up passed midnight together.

My husband would not be doing that purely out of respect.

If they don’t really know each other I would say it’s inappropriate. But if they grew up together have been friends and has respected you and your relationship. I don’t see a problem as long as they were on opposite sides of the hot tub as well.

Depends on your relationship and trust. Everyone holds different standards but i also have very high trust in my husband.

So my take may be a little different, from the facts I’ve read. First off, I think she may have been upset with the fact that she had to stay in the house with the toddler and wasn’t able to join in on the good time. That set the tone for her mood. Then when everyone got out except the friend and husband it escalated because as moms we all need that time to tag out, so I’m guessing she was hoping he would come in, tag team and let her get in the hot tub and drink for a bit but instead he stayed out, his parents didn’t offer to watch the baby and she didn’t ask, maybe because she didn’t feel comfortable or whatever the reason may be, and therefore her frustration escalated and she transferred it to him being inappropriate drinking in the hot tub with her. I don’t see a problem with it if they are friends, sitting on opposite sides, nothing weird is happening, etc so I feel some transference of aggression at the WHOLE situation was happening. I feel for mama, I think if she got to unwind and relax without having to watch the toddler her mindset would be completely different.

If you feel some type of way about it, you better go over there and let him know. If that was you in a hot tub alone drinking with another man, would he be ok with it? Hell nooooooo

Yes, even though nothing happened, it caused you to doubt him it is wrong.

Yes but also depends on what kind of relationship they have have they known each other since childhood etc? Have they dated is he trustworthy is she? Too many variables but as a general rule I’d say it’s not a good idea and can lead to trouble

since it started out with them all in the hot tub I think it was ok. Now had they gone together and just themselves different story. If you can’t trust your man with other woman , your life will be miserable. All up to you

I am just wondering why you allowed your husband to stay outside in the hot tub with the other woman. If you did not think it was an issue at the time then why ask about it now.

Definitely not, why couldn’t he get out when everyone else did and go in to talk to you or help with his toddler? Definitely dog house moment

If you don’t trust him then it’s not appropriate and he being your husband HE should know that.
I on the other hand would not mind at all but i know my husband wouldn’t even disrespect me in that way ever.

No, they can talk when everybody’s together if everybody goes out except the lady he’s gotta go too he doesn’t have any business talking to no woman alone.

Too bad he didn’t think and go ask you to trade places with him. Maybe you would have appreciated the time in the tub to relax after watching the little one. Just discuss it with him instead of asking us about the appropriateness of it.

Yes, but you should trust your husband enough to know that he wouldn’t do anything, he loves you and his toddler and wouldn’t do anything to jeopardize that

Also if everyone else got out and went back inside, that could have been your opening to ask if they could keep an eye and ear out for your toddler so that you could spend some time in the hot tub…. With your husband. Rather than focusing more on the fact that your husband is still in the hot tub, hanging out with someone.

Ehhh if you trust him, it shouldn’t be a problem. Our spouses are their own people and it should be ok for them to have fun and connect with other people as long as there is no infidelity or betrayal involved. Although you should let him know that next time you want to have fun and he can watch the toddler.

If you are insecure about that you might have other issues that need to be addressed in counseling.

I am usually pretty relaxed about things like this, but this one would absolutely infuriate me - especially given the fact that you stayed with your (and his!) kid inside…

Only a selfish person would do that. Very inappropriate for both parties involved

I think it’s not right. He should have gotten out and helped his wife with their child!! He totally disregarded his wife

Not only inappropriate but disrespectful. He didnt consider your feelings. That was the worse thing.

It doesn’t matter what we think. It only matters what you and your husband think. It’s something to discuss with him for sure. There’s no special standards for what’s okay in relationships. Each couple has to define their own boundaries

If I trust my husband, I wouldn’t have a problem with it. And in that situation even more so. Not that big of a deal to me.

No but I think you resentful because you were stuck taking care of toddler while he was enjoying himself

It’s not necessarily “inappropriate” but if that’s a boundary you have you should let him know. I also would not be comfortable with it. Tell him how you feel and no sugar coating amd hopefully he will respect your feelings
