Question : Is it okay to send flowers to a woman other than your wife?
I just picked up the mail and a postcard from 1-800-flowers came to remind my husband that a friend of his is having a birthday soon. I called my husband about it right now and he said that it was an old friend from high school and he sent her flowers for her birthday last year. He didn't give me flowers for mother's day or our anniversary either. Am I being paranoid?

All Answers:
Answer #1 he is interested in this woman, and not as a "friend". no, you are not being
paranoid. a man should only give flowers to his wife, mom, grandma, sis and
daughter. try to find out more info on this so called "friend". this might be
evil, but check his email and voice mail. better safe than sorry.good luck. - answered by sungirlie
Answer #2 Yes... it IS okay for a man to give another woman flowers!!!As long as it is his
MOTHER, GRANDMOTHER, DAUGHTER, SISTER or GREAT-GRANDMOTHER!!!!No you are not
being paranoid! He is completely in the WRONG!! To give another woman flowers
when he didn't even get YOU flowers??? That's completely wrong!!!He sent her
flowers LAST YEAR and you are just now finding out about it??? So, basically,
he has lied by omission... failing to tell you made it a lie!By not telling you,
he has completely ruined your trust! Now you will wonder what else he hasn't
told you about, particularly with this "old friend from high school"... how do
you even know if that's the truth?? If you ask him if he slept with her, he
will (of course) say no... How will you know if that's the truth either??? The
trust is gone!!!I'm sure he had more than one female friend in high school...
Does that mean that he sent them ALL flowers for their birthday?? Why just this
one???I'm sorry for you... I don't know if I could make myself stay with him
anymore... - answered by DearAbby
Answer #3 You're not being paranoid at all!! I would be really suspicious if my husband
ever bought flowers for another womean....I don't know how your husband is but
it sounds like that's a little out of the ordinary for him??!! Why would he send
flowers to a woman he knew in high school?? Does he ever talk about her or have
you ever heard her mentioned before? These are ?'s I would ask
myself.....That's pretty messed up that he would do that for another woman and
not for his wife....sounds like he has some explaining to do.....good luck - answered by melissadt
Answer #4 I wouldn't accept it. If he cared enough to send an old friend flowers, then he
should have cared enough about what his wife would think about it. Sounds like
you have your hands full to me with a husband who isn't very concerned on how it
made you feel. Especially if you didn't get flowers and the other woman did.The
only women that he should be sending flowers to besides you, is his/your mother,
his/your grandmother, great grandmothers, sisters, daughters and only with your
consent; sister-in-laws, and close mutual friends where you would both have your
name on the card.Tell him you don't like it and how it made you feel. He may be
clueless.Good luck.............. - answered by teashy
Answer #5 No your not. It sounds like he is trying to rekindle an old flame. Sorry to
tell you that but When I sent flowers to a female friend I told my wife first
and it would only be 1 flower with a card that said from both of us. - answered by iaidoka1967

Answer #7 There are 2 sides to every story, but from what you're saying, it doesn't sound
like a good situation. - answered by Chanel
Answer #8 no,you are not paranoid...men love to do things for their mistresses or hope to
have mistresses.they don't do for their wives.watch him like a hawk...and don't
let his lies blind you.use your senses. - answered by gna
Answer #9 Only if she is a muual friend of yours and even so you should have agreed
together to send the flowers. Otherwise you have just sprung the cheating so and
so. I guess he wasn't as clever as he thought he was. - answered by uselessadvice
Answer #10 She gets flowers and you get none? Sounds like something's up. I can
understand sending flowers to a relative but an old friend from high school.
I'd talk to him and tell him exactly what it looks like. I bet he's showing
other types of suspicious behaviour also. - answered by Garfield
Answer #11 Ditto sungirlie's response. - answered by greeneyes75
Answer #12 I would also find out what type of flowers he sent...roses, carnations or some
odd flower could mean that he sent them in a more romantic attempt or that he
knows her enough to know what kind of flowers she likes...plus if you can find
out what the flowers cost it would be helpful...men don`t spend money on
"nobody`s"try getting a statement of past purchases from that company. Good
Luck. - answered by high_on_life
Answer #13 I agree with dearabby, girl my words exactly you think like me, going into
detail and all. So i will agree with you or end up writting a book lol. - answered by chelle
Answer #14 No its not unless its his mother or sister. If its just a old female friend, a
friendly birthday card is plenty. - answered by jbt5kt
Answer #15 i don't know about paranoid, but i know i would be very unhappy if my husband
acted this way. at least you now KNOW about the situation and can therefore
TALK TO HIM about it. tell him how unhappy and suspicious you are about it,tell
him how much you feel it's inappropriate and tell him that it wasn't a nice
thing for him to do...ESPECIALLY since he doesn't buy you - his WIFE - similar
gifts. who knows why he did it??? men can be so thoughtless at times....what i
think is more important now is using this situation to evaluate your marriage as
a whole...it could be the making of you if you talk it out, learn from it and
move on all the stronger because of it. if he isn't willing to discuss
it rationally or accpet how wrong he has been, and how insensitive, then that IS
a problem....good luck with it and i hope it works out .god bless both of you - answered by glasgow gal
Answer #16 I don't think there is anything wrong with him having flowers sent to her by a
florist. It could of been more personal and he could have delivered them to her
in person. He had them sent for a reason it was her birthday. If it was
valentines or other day it would be different but truthfully what else does a
male send to a female friend that would be appropriate for her birthday when
they are only friends. - answered by tantiprincess
Answer #17 he likes or liked her - answered by shavon0101
Answer #18 I agree completely with DearAbby! - answered by Rikki M
Answer #19 i would be pissed - answered by di05712
Answer #20 I think I would have a good talk with him - answered by Divine Love
Answer #21 If I were you....I wouldn't make too big of a deal about the flowers (YET).
Keep Quiet and open you eyes. Listen and look for other clues. Keep tabs on
him and make notes. Lots of men are very good at hiding affairs. When he says
he is going to be late for work...make sure he is really working and check to
make sure the pay equals the extra time. Check his phone records on recently
called numbers. Usually a man will call his mistress as soon as he leaves the
house and right before he comes home. If you make too big of a deal about the
flowers, he may try and cover his tracks too hard.....let him get his guard down
so you can catch him if he is seeing this woman or any other woman. You go
gurl! - answered by sugarbud
Answer #22 oooooo girl,i'd have his shit packed and sitting out when he came home! the
nerve of some men, not that he sent the flowers to a woman,but that he forgot
all about u! mothers day,anniversary,etc. thats bs....im lying i would be pissed
about sending any other woman other then family flowers! theres def something
going on,or he's very interested in her and trying to impress her!! kick his ass
2 the curb girl!!! - answered by dawnita0322
Answer #23 Why wouldn't it be? Send 'em. - answered by Frank R
