How do you deal with a person who dare tries to take your man away?

I have not yet encountered this situation yet but I witnessed a cat fight earlier at work. My boss's wife stormed in the room and confronted my co-worker who has been flirting with my boss and sending him text messages. I just learned the entire story after the show. My co-worker was trying to engage my boss into an affair. However, the wife had read her text messages, and immediately came to our work place and attacked her, saying, "I understand you're into my husband. But really! How cheap can you get, chasing after a married man?" We were all, like, "Huh?" My co-working tried to walk away, blushing, but the wife went after her, insulting her. Eventually, they grabbed each other's hair and started a fight. It was like in the MOVIES! I never thought it would happen in actual. LOL. Forgive me for getting so entertained now, but honestly! In actual? I was like so flabbergasted and amused at the same time. At that time, my boss wasn't there because he was in a meeting somewhere. After the show, the wife was escorted outside the work place for causing trouble. But really! Everyone knew whose fault it was. Man, it was an eye-opener. Never should mess with somebody else's man.

Oh,wives have they own style dealing with this problem. Some are creative, some are scandalous and some are quiet. But if ever I am to deal with this, I will send the girl a notification, telling her a big package is coming her way, and she better prepare herself a place for it. Next move, I'll send her my husband's clothing, emptied from our closet and a note telling her included are his dirty linens. Of course all are but old clothes and tattered ones and proof that he' got no money. If that's not scare her away, then it's time for my legal actions!

Personally, I don't like dealing with it. First off, I don't think there is only one person that's at fault in this situation. You're co-worker is at fault for trying to make her moves. The wife for letting her self doubts get the best of her, and for not being civil enough in her actions. And the boss for being in the center of attention. BUT, if he did not act on these advances by your co-worker, then he's the only one that I could absolve from any wrong-doings.

i will definitely not act like your boss' wife and cause a scene like that in the workplace... it is just not the right thing and place to do it... first of all, i will have a chat with my hubby first and ask him to be open and honest with me... then i will ask him to have a chat with his co-worker and ask her to stop flirting with him... violence can never solve a problem... it is better if we keep calm and try to resolve the problem in a civilised manner... i think we can get a better result this way... take care and have a nice day...

Wow, that was a serious situation out there. A real cat fight ? I don't want to witness any, coz frankly i don't i can enjoy something like that. Too bad for the boss as well. The fault is with him for entertaining the co-worker, he is the main culprit. Had my girl done something like this, i am just going to walk away from her. I don't expect my girl from entertaining any other guy enough so that he can start flirting with her. I would be very, seriously, disappointed with this action of hers. She knows, how i am. You can say i a jealous type, but honestly that doesn't mean all the bad is present in it, there are good things about being jealous too. Lol, i don't know, that sounded funny. But... Back to being serious now. I would be deeply hurt. I am sorry for the boss's wife. It's such a big burden to her. She doesn't want to let go of her husband, that was why she came to humiliate that lady. Too bad the boss could not hide from her wife, maybe he was trying to be sneaky and thought he could get away with all that flirting. Nobody wants to be in the boss's wife's position. Life is just as ugly as it seems, at some times. I do have complete faith in my girlfriend. I can never think of something like that happening in my life. Men really.. Sometimes cannot be trusted. Too bad.

hello sweetcatastrophe! I had experienced something like this, thrice in the past. The first one was a girl who constantly calls and miscalls my cellphone number, thinking that it was my boyfriend's. She had been texting and calling him at unholy hours and one time, he replied to her using mine and that's how she came to have my number. At first, i just let her be but when she started miscalling my number even during midnight because i did not reply her messages, i vowed to seek her out and talk to her personally.In short, i got hold of who she really is and i talked to her. Told her that it was my number she had called, and asked her what's her motive for frequently calling my boyfriend.Since she was just obviously flirting with him and did not expect me to talk to her so nicely, she just vowed out from the scene. The second and third one involves my second boyfriend. I talked to them quietly and asked them what's their motive for openly flirting with my partner when it was clear that they know he's my beau. I was really angry but i just controlled it. I did not make any scene, only the girls involve and a friend who was with me, actually know what had transpired. The girls both went away with shame, but no ill-feelings towards me because i did not pick a fight with them. I just wanted to know the truth and their motive. I also asked them if they're planning to go on with their deed despite my knowing and i also told them, they would have to contend with me since i won't give up my man without a fight,lol. Actually, i won't force my man to stay with me if he's happier with someone else but if i find that these girls are luring him, seducing him, i won't put up with it without a fight.

Wow, what a drama. How could the wife lower herself by going to the office and confronting this girl? Should not she ask and confirm with his husband first? Confronting another girl in a case like this shows only how immature the wife is. And the other girl would not respect her hence the hair pulling. Yes, we should not covet what is not ours.

Personally I would not be dealing with such situation as it would be quite easy to deal with. See if my man entertains such actions of the other woman, there will be no fighting and or stooping low on my end as there will no longer be a he and I. As for the woman, bless her as now he is her problem no longer mine to deal with so she can deal with the probable future cat wars that may then arise from what was suppose to my man as now it will be hers with pleasure.

yes you are right. it is really hard for me if someone else is after my husband. first of all we should not give them the chance to flirt. what Your boss's wife did that was correct. if we point out someone Else's mistakes (these kind of) directly then only we can control these kind of issues.
