I’ll never forget when my husband’s colleague had a huge crush on him.
Would I even call that a crush?
I think she was in love with him because it was a full-blown display of interest.
So when you read this article, know that you’re not reading from someone who is writing from mere head knowledge.
You’re reading from someone who knows how these things go because I’ve seen them happen very closely.
Knowing that a woman is interested in your husband is nothing to panic about unless your husband is of questionable character, too.
However, it’s still important to know when it’s happening so you can sit back and laugh over the silly antics she’ll get up to.
You should also establish boundaries where necessary, and let your husband know if he’s not aware.
Because I can tell you for free that many men can be clueless about these things, especially when the signs aren’t very obvious yet.
6 Signs A Woman Is Interested In Your Husband
1. She talks about him a lot
There’s no reason why your husband’s name and business should constantly be on another woman’s lips if she’s not interested in him.
This is one way to detect foul play.
When a woman constantly talks about your man and the things that concern him.
It’s almost as though she grabs every opportunity to talk about him and mention his name.
It’s not her fault; it’s her feelings.
She is hooked on him, so she can’t help but talk about him.
Not every woman can hide her feelings and pretend flawlessly.
For some, you will know what is going on immediately by the things they say.
So if a woman is always talking about your husband and she’s not his mum or sister, she just might be eyeing him.
But you can only know this if you know the woman in question and are close enough to hear her speak.
What if you’re not?
Don’t worry; I’ve got you.
There are other signs.
2. She follows him on social media
For this one, you have to merge it with other signs; it can’t stand alone.
It’d be unwise to accuse a woman just based on the fact that she follows him on Instagram.
However, certain social media activities can give you a clue.
Perhaps you’ve seen how she’s always the first to like and comment on his posts.
Or maybe you’ve even seen her in his DMs multiple times, and her messages weren’t casual or harmless.
That could be your sign.
Social media has been a useful tool for many to shoot their shots over the years.
Of course, not every woman who follows your husband on social media is interested in him.
That would be a ridiculous way to think.
If you’re always mad about every woman on his social media, you’re being paranoid and possibly focusing on the wrong target.
The main person might not even be on social media, but social media is one of the routes aspiring side chicks use.
3. She cooks for him
Nothing screams “I want your man” like a woman constantly cooking for him.
Many say that the way to a man’s heart is his belly, which has proven true for many men.
This is also because many men love to eat.
So, usually, when a lady is interested in a man, even a married man, food might be one of the weapons in her arsenal.
If a woman frequently cooks for your husband, especially without your consent, something might be up there.
Perhaps she even waits for you to travel or to be absent, and then she brings him a sumptuous and yummy meal to his office or house.
She might be trying to get to his heart, passing through the recommended route – his tummy.
4. She becomes an attention seeker
There’s a way a woman will act around a man, and you just know that she likes him.
Some women can try to be demure and keep to themselves even when they have a huge crush on men.
But many can’t.
If a woman is constantly seeking your husband’s attention, it’s because she wants it.
You may notice that she calls or texts him often, always wants to be around him, does things to get his attention, flirts with him, or is just all over him.
These signs already give her away.
They show that she’s interested in your man.
5. She knows so much about him
When you like someone or something, it’s usual to observe them.
If it’s a person, you’ll pay attention to their likes, dislikes, routine, and other little details.
As a man’s wife, you’re likely to know much about him, but you may not know everything.
Don’t be surprised when another woman shows up and seems to know everything.
This was one way I knew my husband’s colleague liked him.
Two crazy incidents happened, and I had to speak with my husband about them.
First, I was at my husband’s office, trying to make a payment for an online purchase with his new card that came with his new account.
Then I got to the option asking me to choose between “savings” and “current.”
His colleague was also there.
Because I wasn’t sure which it was, as this was a new account we hadn’t talked much about, I wanted to dial his phone and ask him because he had stepped out.
Tell me why; before I could say “Jack Robbinson,” this lady said, “His account is current. You didn’t know that?”
I felt so much irritation build up within me and gave her a look that could pierce through her if it were a spear.
But she did it again.
We were at an office event that I accompanied my husband to when the waiter came to take our order.
My husband asked me to place his order, and when I requested they bring him some salad and Salmon, you won’t believe that our little Miss Colleague chipped in: “If Grilled Seabass is available, he’ll prefer that. He loves those.”
Everybody at that table was stunned, even the waiter raised a brow.
Of course, I knew that my husband loved Seabass; everybody who knows him remotely knows that because he always talks about it.
But I didn’t order that because we had just had it at home before coming to the event, so we wanted to eat something different.
That was the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
My husband immediately put her in her place, and she stepped back.
If you’re in a similar situation, glean lessons from this story.
6. She paints you badly before him
When this happens, you know she’s getting pretty desperate.
She now wants to intentionally sabotage what you both share and make you look bad to him.
In her little mind, perhaps she can get your husband to see your negative sides and not see you as the good wife he’s always known.
Maybe then he can open his mind to her, and she’ll become his happy place.
But some women actually think like this.
If this happens, it’s your husband’s job to put her in her place and establish firm boundaries.
It’s not unusual for other people to be interested in married people.
Marriage doesn’t magically put a veil upon people and make them undesirable.
If anything, some people even become more attracted to an individual when they’re taken.
Crazy right?
But it’s what the world has become.
The onus lies on the people in the marriage to ensure they’re not entertaining improper behavior and risking their marriage.
