What’s this week’s poker hands question? Let’s dive straight in…
Question: I am a married female. My husband and I are mutual friends with another married couple. I work with both parties of the other couple, so I see them every day and we are relatively close friends. The male friend , who is also friends with my husband, is really big into Texas Hold 'Em Poker. I was at a dollar store one day and saw a neat poker coffee mug. I picked it up for him and gave it to him in front of his wife, just because, not as a gift. And again, it was only $1.00 Now, she, on the other hand, became extremely upset. She told everyone we work with how I was trying to steal her man by buying him presents. And again. It was only a mug that cost $ 1.00 This caused drama for about a week. My husband knew that I picked up the mug for the guy and was fine with it. I didn't see a big deal with doing something nice for a friend. AM I IN THE WRONG HERE???
Answer: It sounds like his wife is insecure, and afraid that she can lose her man at the drop of a hat, or in this case, a poker mug.
You were in no way wrong for your gift, it may have only been one dollar, but the point is that you thought of this person enough to grab it off the shelf at the sight of it.
Explain to his wife how hard it is to find good married people to hang out with, and how you were only trying to express your cloiseness to both of them.

hell no… theres more to this woman than meets the eye, she's obviously not got much trust in her husband or may be having issues at home…. i like poker, can i have the mug instead!!?

No - his wife is a drama queen. Have a word with her and ask her what the problem REALLY is … I would bet she suspects something and the mug (oooo $1) is some sort of validation.
Peace out

No you are not in the wrong. I hate it when people act like little kids.

No, I don't think so. This woman just sounds like she's an over-sensitive fruitcake. Apologize to her, nicely, to save your husbands friendship, and then pretend it didn't happen.

TELL HIS WIFE TO F**K OFF IT'S NOT AS IF YOU BOUGHT HIM UNDER WEAR OR SOMETHING EXPENSIVE WHICH COULD INDICATE FEELINGS,THROUGH BUYING HIM SOMETHING ONLY CHEAP THEN IT SHOWS THAT HE DUNT MEAN MUCH TO YOU IN A CARING SORT OF WAY.

Hell, no!!!
It was just a gift, nothing more.
His wife is the guilty one. She's putting more into it then she should. Her husband should back you up, and for not doing that, he is guilty, too.

no your not wroung at all you are 100% right so just try to ignore it or something or tell her to stick it up her a$$.

naw you're not in the wrong you didn't know that she was going to take it like that. i understand that you just wanted to get it for him because it's something that he really likes. i do the same thing all of the time. i never know what people are going to say all i know is that i got them something because i knew that they like it don't worry you're not in the wrong so don't feel guilty.

the only wrong you are in is asking yourself if you are in the wrong. friends do things for friends. friends dont question friends motives. i think the woman who is saying you are trying to steal her man has a secret, if ya know what i mean.

Ahh Women, no offence though, buy her another mug probably that will stop the dispute

I guess that you were not on as "friendly" terms as you thought. I see nothing wrong with what you did, actually it was very thoughtful…the kind of things friends do for each other.
For some reason she feels threatened by you, so as a friend, I would think three times before doing something like that again. Maybe she knows something about him that you don't….so watch it.

Hell yeah your in the wrong.You should be buying presents for your man not his friends….to make it up to him, you should bring home one of your girlfriends and give him a threesome. Preferably soon, so he doesn't leave your ass… Love you sweetheart..
