Am I overreacting?

Posted: Mar 22, 2011

I need objective opinions here. I am so angry at my husband right now I can't see straight. We have two motorcycles and really enjoy riding on the weekends. This past Sunday I had to work, so he rode with his brother and brother's friend (she was on the back of the brother's bike). No problem there, but last night he remembered to inform me, in case I heard it from somebody else, that the friend's butt got sore from riding on the brother's rattletrap old Harley (ours is a very nice, comfortable bike in comparison). So anyway, brother asked if the girl could ride the rest of the way to town on OUR bike as it is more comfortable. This is where it gets hairy. We live in a VERY small town and other people saw this girl riding around with my husband. I feel that I have been made a fool of, and I am just simply seething inside. However I am PMS'ing at the moment and need somebody to tell me please, am I overreacting here or what?? I just can't be objective at the moment. Thank you in advance.

Yes. Stop worrying about what other people - think. That's for adolescents.

If you're upset for your own sake and not wanting another woman up on your husband like one would have to get riding a bike, that's different. I doubt that he would let it happen again since he felt like he needed to warn you ahead of time. Relax.

You've answered your own question sort of; you're PMSing and yes, you are absolutely overreacting. Grow up.

I ride with hubby, but on a long ride on a new bike I became very uncomfortable and rode back on {{eek!}} another man's bike! OH the horror, oh the scandal!

Please! Who cares what people think. I'd be more concerned if someone told you days later and your husband didn't say a thing. as it is, be causually mentions it, just for your sake too probably. It seems you fly off the handle too easily, as eluded in your "this is where it gets hairy" and "I feel i've been made a fool of" lines... A bit insecure I'd venture to say.

Get over it. (I'm normally harsh, but you asked!)

Definitely overreacting. - NM

Wow. Relax honey. You'll drive him to WANT some other woman on his motorcycle! Is that what you want?

We are friends with a couple that lives in the same complex as us. We used to do things as couples, but sometimes us girls will go out (the guys don’t really get along with each other). She has been calling my house when I am not at home almost on a daily basis, asking if she can borrow this or borrow that, and then she will come over and stay for a while and hang out with my boyfriend. It makes me uncomfortable since I am at work, and I have told my boyfriend how I feel ...

I apologize for the length but I need to give a bit of background first. My brother-in-law, we'll call him Jack (as in ASS) for this story, is in the process of getting a divorce. She's all moved out and living with her new victim and he's moved his next thing in. When, we'll call her Goldie, and he were dating he brought her over a few times, asked what we all thought. I was young and silly then and thought he actually wanted my opinion so I gave it. ...
