This happened with two different women last night while we were out. One of them even ran her hand through his hair flirtatiously, and she's actually a semi-friend of mine. Some friend! She ignored my presence completely!

Now I know how he feels when other men rudely hit on me in front of him. It's sooooo annoying!

He handles himself very well when this happens and is respectful of me, but still....

I suppose I am mainly just venting here, but how can people be so blatant and rude in this way?? Right in front of me and as though I don't exist? What is wrong with people?? Are they seriously trying to snatch up my boyfriend while I am standing there???

I was almost ready to say something to my semi-friend, but we both concluded she must have been drunk. I also didn't want to appear as overly possessive, so I held my tongue. Now I wish I had said something or made my presence more blatantly obvious. He has done that himself when guys have hit on me in front of him. This exact scenario happened in reverse last week and my boyfriend wanted to confront the dude upfront, but I talked him out of it to avoid awkwardness.

Can anyone else relate to this? What do you do or how do you handle this?

well first off I do not think that calmly pointing out that you're with the guy is at all overly possessive. It's natural and it's not like he was separated from you in the room making it less obvious. When someone is bold enough to hit on a partner (male or female) when they are clearly with someone, I am of the opinion that they need to be put in their place. Maybe handled in a respectful way but still, nothing wrong with saying "hey, can you not see we're holding hands and clearly a couple?" well maybe not those words but basically .. yeah.

Me, I would imagine I would say something in that case, myself.
