Am I reading too much into another baseball mom’s behavior toward my husband?
My husband and I have a son on a youth baseball team, and there’s another mom whose behavior toward my husband has been making me wonder if I’m imagining things or if it’s actually a little odd.
My husband is a machinist. This mom seems to remember a lot of details about his job and schedule and regularly asks him questions about his hours, responsibilities, and how important his role is. She’ll bring up things he mentioned in previous conversations, so it’s clear she’s paying attention.
What stands out to me is that she doesn’t seem nearly as interested in me. I own a business, handle a lot of our family’s scheduling, and do a lot of the baseball coordination, but she’s never really asked me detailed questions about my work or remembered things I’ve told her the way she does with him.
I mentioned it to my husband because it felt a little strange, and he actually agreed that her interest in his schedule and work seemed unusual.
For additional context, she got together with her current husband while he was married to someone else, so that history is probably making me more aware of this than I otherwise would be.
I’m not saying she’s definitely interested in him, and there’s been no texting, obvious flirting, or anything like that. I’m just wondering if I’m picking up on a real pattern or if this is something that could easily be explained by normal friendliness.
Would this strike you as odd, or AIO?
