My husband also works at the school I teach at in an administrative position. I was unable to make it to the party we had tonight for all the educators and admins and I was fine with him going without me, but then another teacher texted me and said she saw him getting cozy with one of the other teachers. But of course now I'm infected with this information. I trust him but why would she say that? So would you tell her to eff off or confront him? If I take her seriously it will affect him.

Even if he were prone to do something questionable, it seems really odd that he would do it so visibly in front of so many people who know both of you.

Yes! Good point MHS

First, think about the comment. How "cozy" could he get in a public Christmas party? Was he late getting home or did he arrive about when you expected him to? Did Miss Mind Others' Business give you a name to go along with the allegation? Telling you to not think about it would be like telling you not to think about a purple horse with pink polka dots. See what I mean? Unless there are other indications that support this concern, your best course is to trust until given reason not to. What would you think if some nosy neighbor called you husband and said he thought he saw a strange car in the driveway the night of the party? You say there was no car in the driveway. How do you know there was any "cozying" at the party?

Just wants to cause a ruckus, do not respond to this information. Having a relationship with an admin causes resentment in the ranks. Being a nag on how he portrays positive relationships with staff will rub you the wrong way on you forever.

I also work with my husband. When we were younger and our relationship was new busybodies had all kinds of opinions for me. I think it is completely obnoxious that someone went out of their way to text you that. I would say they are not a real friend and do not have your back. If it is really bothering you you can share with your husband what was said but I would just let it go.

I’m almost wondering if we work at the same school because I know a coworker who would say this just to cause unnecessary drama.

Thank you all so much!! I think I'm going to mention it to him as like "I'm so annoyed by (her) because she said this thing and I feel so insulted and like WTF by her" and then I'm sure he'll respond in his usual supportive non-sketchy way and may try to avoid her a little more himself. And then obviously if he's SUPER WEIRD I'll think more about it.

Mention it off-handedly so he is aware that she is stirring up. She sounds incredibly insecure. He might have other information regarding this person that he can't share with you but this would add to his.

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating. Before ending it she came over 3 weeks prior to basically give me a chance to work things out and we had a good discussion but then I went back into our routine and didn’t really fight for it or have serious follow up convos that we needed. Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.

So recently my SO has been accusing me of being in control of when we are intimate (sex and cuddling). She says that every time she wants to I say no - and whenever I want to - she says yes. So it's by default doing whatever I want when I want. It's a gross exaggeration of what's happening - but does anyone ever deal with something like this? How do you say no to something like that - without your partner thinking you're just looking out for yourself or you're controlling?
