writes: Does this mean anything?Over the weekend my husband was playing an online game with his friends on xbox live. It was a drinking game, and I was able to hear their conversation through the t.v.It was him, his male friend, and two girls. One girl is only 19 and wasn't drinking. I don't know how old the oher girl was but she was drinking. There were also three other friends present observing this (male friends.)Now, my husband rarely drinks, I've not ever seen him drunk after being together for six years. Normally when we drink we do so together, but I'm pregnant, so I can't.Anyway, my husband, the guy, and drinking girl all got really drunk. The girl and guy were doing the "argue flirting" which was annoying because he has an exclusive girlfriend, but he's a pig so I ignore him. Anyway, at the end of the evening this girl says in a super flirty voice to my husband, "you're amazing! Hook up with me on twitter! And why haven't you added me to your skype??" to which husband drunkenly replies, "why haven't /you/ added me to /your/ skype?" and she was like "I just did!"To which one of the not drinking male friends said, "Hey, you need to tone it down, he's married and his wife is right here." To which this girl said, "Asking to be hooked up on twitter isn't flirting." My husband was totally oblivious.Well, he did instantly add her. And yes, I know that that adding people isn't flirting. But the way she said it was flirting. And maybe I'm being irrationional, but I feel extremely jealous of my husband getting drunk on a Saturday night with this flirting girl! Also he said "We need to do this every weekend!" which has been haunting me. I told him the next day, in my flirting, "After the baby comes we should get a sitter and play a drinking game together and get drunk." And he responded, "Why would we do that?" Am I just being irrational? I can't get the whole thing out of my head. I especially can't because other friends of my husband were sticking up for him being married instead of him, (even though he was drunk... but still!)

What are you guys doing? You should be hanging out, going out to nice bars and restaurants, catching a movie, and spending time together... not ignoring each other, getting drunk alone, and playing videogames like teenagers! Virtual contact is no substitute for real life interaction! It's this kind of thing that leads to boredom, frustration, and depression!
Limit the games to certain slots each week - but NOT the prime socializing time of the week!

 If you trust your husband then this shouldn't be a problem. At the end of the day it is you he is with and not her and it is quite harmless getting drunk with friends over the internet. I guess he feels like he hasn't done anything wrong, which technically he hasn't. But if it is really bothering you then talk it out with him and tell him how it has made you feel. But try not to over think it she may have been flirty with him but he didn't respond and she knows that he is married. She herself probably didn't even realise she was coming across as being flirty. She was probably just being friendly and it came out wrong. It is OK for a male and female to be platonic friends.
