My Wife May Have Inadvertently Invited a Guy Over to Our Place for a Date

[SammyPops]

UPDATE:

So the play date and dinner ended about an hour and a half ago (8pm our time) and I’ve just been getting my son to bed.

Most of you are going to be pretty disappointed: nothing happened.

This guy knew I was in the picture all along evidently. We’ve apparently crossed paths at drop off in the mornings many times, we’ve just never spoken. He knew who I was because he recognized my son and daughter when I’d drop them off, but I never realized who he was because I can’t really distinguish any of the other children in my kids’ daycare. All 3 to 5 year olds are basically interchangeable from my perspective, so I didn’t know he was the father of my son’s close friend, because honestly until tonight I didn’t even know which kid she was (there were 16 children in the 4/5 year old room at the daycare).

He didn’t bring wine or flowers or anything, but he brought some pumpkin pie cheesecake for dessert. It was good, but now my wife is feeling a bit sick from it because she’s lactose intolerant.

The guy seems nice enough. He’s about 3 years older than me, and works in IT for some big crane manufacturing company. Kind of a geek, as he came wearing a Deadpool t-shirt. If I had to guess he could probably kick my ass if we got into a fight as while we were roughly the same height he looks more physically fit than me (I’m rocking a solid “dad bod”).

The kids had fun, it was a nice day so they played in the backyard in the sandbox I built for my kids at the end of August. Then they watched some paw patrol while My wife and I made dinner and the guy sat and just chatted with us. Afterwards they just played with my son’s paw patrol and Batman toys.

Discussions mostly focused on the kids, schools and a little bit about our respective careers.

I guess before closing off I’ll address some of the myriad questions I saw posed throughout the thread:

Q: Why would I let my wife invite a guy over for dinner without asking me first?
A: She did ask me, and I said that was fine.

Q: What would I have done if the guy had shown up with flowers and wine?
A: I don’t actually know. Part of me would want to laugh at my wife for failing to pick up on his interest, part of me would want to go all alpha-wannabe with the guy and tell him to beat it, and part of me would feel bad for the guy for humiliating himself like that, and also bad for my son because I know he’d never get to see his friend anymore as I doubt the dad would ever want to hear from us ever again.

Q: Why did I have an attitude of finding this hilarious instead of getting pissed at my wife or concerned?
A: 1. I trust my wife
2. My wife is book smart (she’s got a Masters in Immunology) but sometimes she can be a complete retard in social situations. For example, she dated a gay guy from age 14 to 16, and she never picked up on it.
3. She’s friendly, bashful, naive and gullible. Despite what many people here posted, my wife absolutely is the kind of person that would not realize that being nice to a person could be interpreted as flirting.
4. she honestly would be oblivious to a guy being thirsty for her, especially as she has a very low self esteem as she’s been diagnosed with depression since 2011, and she doesn’t think that she’s attractive or desirable in the first place.

Anyway, thanks everyone for coming along for the ride. Your posts were the blend of comedy and cruelty that I expected, and I enjoyed them. I know this isn’t the ending any of you wanted, and a part of me even feels a little disappointed too, because for a while there I thought I was about to live a real life episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm for an evening. One poster I saw speculated that this could end like season 4 of Game of Thrones or like season 8. Looks like I’m delivering a season 8 ending. Sorry guys.

And now our watch has ended.

Has she hinted about a 3some yet?

Ribs, corn on the cob, rice and then the cheesecake for dessert.

Water to drink. I wasn’t going to give this guy one of my beers just in case he is taking my wife to pound town behind my back.

Pork or Beef ribs?

Love both but ribs is a food i won't eat around people i do not know well. Good ribs require you to go full caveman and get your face all up in there to get the best meat off the bone.

I made that mistake once ordering beef ribs on a first date and they were great. I wanted to savage the bones but thought I might horrify the gal if I looked up and was covered with it...

Pork. Sobeys had a crazy sale on them, like $2/lb or something. Bought two racks for like $11 all in.

You should've had the Hot Ones setup. It would have been far more interesting of a night.

nice.

i bought some great beef short ribs at the Farmers Market this weekend and cooked them first in my Instant Pot, pressure cook setting and then finished them with a slow cook on the bbq while basting. They came out looking just like this and tasting every bit as good as they look.

The meat from the local farms at the meat market tastes so different than that at the grocery stores. Especially the chicken which even has a slightly different texture. I would think in a blind taste test some might not even think they are the same meat.

104th street market?

 

[MikeMcMann]

104th street market?

Yup. Every Saturday in the summer outside my door. I do 99% of my summer shopping there and only pick up extras as the grocery store. Its not always the cheapest but the quality is unmatched. Especially the seafood.

Last weekend, I think was the last weekend of the summer. Or maybe its this weekend??? Then it moves permanently to the new location on 97 Street at 103 Av. It will be indoor year round with an outdoor expansion in the summers.

They want to create a mix of St. Lawrence market (Toronto) and Granville Island (Vancouver) feel in Edmonton. With a large mix of permanent vendors inside and a big rotating group of pop up style artists and others.

i am most excited for the new Fish Monger permanent setup as Edmonton has no Fish Mongers now, which for a city this size is sad. The people who will be running it have a little role in trailer they use on the street now but said they are investing in a large expansive permanent setup in the new building.

I will miss the 104 Market outside my door but am hoping they pull this off at the new location. Its only a 5 minute bike ride for me to get there.

Expect a lot more homeless people hanging around the market. There’s one woman in particular who basically owns that very corner in the picture. She’s literally there every single day, crouched down near the traffic light. When I go to court I park at the surface lots behind that building and she’s there. Every. Single. Time. They probably had to photoshop her out of the picture you posted, because she’s been there Day in day out since 2011.

Damn that looks good

Ya that is homeless central right now. I think they hope this spurs some development in that area and that cleans it up a little.

They have actually had a smaller version of the 104 Market each Sunday on the street outside there all summer and i bike over often. I have actually been pleasantly surprised that Homeless have not been hanging around the market seeing it as a good place to beg. I've seen very few.

I was expecting a Wand/Cro Cop staredown before a fight to death over your wife.

 

[Tuf_guy]

I agree with the advice to cbeck your wife's phone on the DL for awhile.

Call me superstitious, but I feel like a guy saying "I trust my wife" is just tempting fate.

Not saying to be paranoid. Just covertly curious.

UPDATE to be found at post #284
————-


So my wife and I have our 4 year old son and 2 year old daughter in daycare full time. Our routine is that I drop them off in the morning and she picks them up in the evening, as my wife starts work earlier than me, but is finished earlier. Our son had this 5 year old girl in daycare with him that was one of his closest friends, but she left at the end of August as she was starting kindergarten at the beginning of September.

My wife would often run into this girl’s dad at pickup time and they would shoot the shit a bit while the kids said their goodbyes. Before this girl left the daycare at the end of August my wife commented to the dad that our son was really going to miss his daughter and that we should arrange a play date for our kids so they could keep in touch, so she gave her phone number to the dad. Then August 31 came and went and our son’s little friend left the daycare, and we didn’t hear from her dad.

Fast forward four weeks and out of the blue the Dad texts my wife, and asks her how it’s going. She says good, and that our son misses his daughter a lot (which he does), and suggests a play date. Now normally you’d think that when a parent suggests something like that the implication is they mean meeting up at a playground or park, or maybe going over to the other person’s house for a short afternoon visit. Instead the guy suggests that they could come over for dinner, and he tells my wife that he has his daughter every Tuesday and Thursday, and every second weekend. Up until this point we had assumed that he was married and living with the girl’s mom. This was the first time we realized he was single.

In any event, my wife invited them over to our place for dinner tomorrow night. I asked my wife if she knows if this guy even knows that I’m in the picture, or if this could be a case where this guy’s operating under the assumption that my wife’s also a single parent, and that maybe this guy thinks my wife’s maybe been flirting with him all along.

I’ve been teasing my wife that this guy is going to show up thinking that this is some kind of double date between him and his daughter with my wife and our son. My wife dismissed the idea until tonight, she sent him a text message just to let him know that we have a dog (just in case of allergies or anything) and he wrote back a little joke “damn, that’s ruff”. My wife kind of stared at the message and then said “uh oh, maybe this guy does think I’m available or in to him”.

Frankly I find the whole thing hilarious and am kind of excited to see how the guy reacts when I come to the front door they arrive. Like what if he has flowers or a bottle of wine or some shit.

So what do you guys think? Does this guy think he’s coming over tomorrow night for a date with my wife, or is this all innocent and harmless and that the guy just has a somewhat peculiar notion for timing and venue for a play date?

Your wife will be banging him in no time.

Had a good friend that his wife used to do the soccer mom stuff and started talking to a soccer dad. Texts turned into them having an affair for over a year before they were found out.

Your wife seems to easy to be giving out her number

 

[Strange King]

I added the ring question right before you replied, but luckily you answered it anyway.

He's probably thinking he could bang a married woman. Sounds like one of those dudes who are all: "she said good morning to me bro, she wants the D!"

Fucking married women happen all the time. Ive fucked my share. it just takes a bad day from the husband and your shoulder to cry on

 

[Crocop42]

This guy isn't going to stop, it's not over. He was just testing the waters. His texts will continue, their relationship will grow into more flirtatious texts. Play dates when you're not around and so on.
She may have been testing you out at well. Most women are much more into a threesome when the parties all know eachother. This way she's more comfortable.


Im sorry.
