Here's What Happens When a Man Tells His Wife He Has a Crush on Their Friend

​Over at Reddit, some genius told his wife that he has a crush on their mutual friend, Kim, and it went as well as could be expected. Which is to say, not very well at all, na doy.

We have a friend. Let's call her Kim. Kim is one of the cutest humans on the planet, and is genuinely a beautiful individual inside and out. Also is married and has kids. I've harbored a crush on this human pretty much since we met 2 years ago. I'm not an asshole and wouldn't cheat on the mother of my children, I just have the occasional daydream where our significant others tragically die in a plane crash and we find comfort in each others arms and genitals. You know.

The man goes on to say that he thinks his sister Maggie also has a crush on Kim — damn, Kim! You go, girl! — and then goes on to tell his wife this suspicion in the most awkward of ways. (Seriously, you should partially cover your eyes when you read this. So much cringe.):

Now.. the fuckup: So after dinner I am informed that Kim's birthday party is the end of the month and it's a surprise party. My wife asks me if I think Maggie would want to go. I say offhandedly "Oh I'm sure Maggie wouldn't mind hanging out with Kim". Wife asks me for clarification, as I hadn't mentioned my above theory to her. I clarified, stating that I think my sister has a little crush on Kim. My wife asked for further clarification, asking why I think that. Now at this point, I COULD (and should) have stated any of the things I said above, about the social media interactions, the shyness, the gut feeling etc.. However what I said was "Just the way I've seen her act around Kim. I know Maggie and I have a similar taste in girls"

The wife then proceeds to freak out; asking the man if he's cheating on her (he isn't) and if he's still attracted to her (he is). ​Just because you're in a relationship doesn't mean you stop finding other people attractive but that also doesn't mean you necessarily need to tell your partner that. Oh well, guess this dude learned that the hard way. *Tells husband he is the love of my life (and means it!) and then also searches for shirtless photos of Idris Elba on Google.*
