A friend had to march her maid pronto to the airport when she found out her maid had designs on her DH seemingly most maid Number 1 objective is to steal DH for themselves as they are the maid's one way ticket out of poverty - they think western wives don't look after sir's needs and they'll do a much better job of keeping sir happy. I have also heard of maid's during interview asking 'if madam requires headache breaks?' ie if madam doesn't want s** and sir does then the maid can be required to take over madam's bedroom duties! I kid you not! EXACTLY!!!!! That's their main objective - there is SO MUCH behind those madams and those smiles you have no idea! They see you and the hubby in love and they are stuck cleaning with no love life then ofc they will try something on!

There's lots of women who may have designs on our DHs and OHs. <em>edited by summerdream on 11/01/2011</em>

loooooooooool iv been away for about an hour and came back to everyone talking about my age! To clear things up I worked as a therapist just to clear up I was interning as my mother has her own business so i sat in for over 2 years learning and you would be surprised how many women talk about this subject. I would think twice about telling her instead how about you focus on getting some PROOF? pay close attention when u r over their house?

A friend of mine back in the UK who I had known for many years got engaged to be married, I heard from one of his friends that he was "gay". I thought about it for a long time and made the biggest mistake by telling her, of course she didn't listen they went onto marry and eventually got divorced. Unfortunately, she never spoke to me again, it's never a good idea to be the bearer of bad news! Yes, but you did the right thing BB.

Unfortunately, she never spoke to me again, it's never a good idea to be the bearer of bad news! I wish I had friends like you - its true I wouldn't have listened to people commenting on compatibility etc....but GAY, I would have really tried to find out. My life & mind was completely messed up. The saving grace is the wonderful man I am with now I would never have met had I not married and divorced the jerk. OP - I would not just fold my hands about it, there is risk of disease etc. Having said that reading what you wrote, if its true the wife probably suspects too. Abby - Nice to have you onboard and see so many of your posts in one day. So are you actually quite sure that more than 50% of DH's are doing (!) their maids? If so, please print out this thread and leave it in an envelope to re-read for say 5 years later. I however think its just the wrong use of words and you meant to say when there's a suspicion that its happening - it is happening more often than not.

I have a friend who is suspecting our mutual friends DH of this but how do you really know? Its left me feeling quite sick thinking about it and not being able to say anything. you should tell your 'friend' how would you feel if all your 'friends' were gossiping about your dh having it away with the maid, you would want to know right? I know I would, even if it weren't true, where did these rumours come from, there's no smoke without fire?

I don't think i can approach the DH, the whole thing could go into WWW3 and then i woulnd't be able to support my friend who is having a tough enough time of it as it is with him. in that case it's going to be really difficult for you but you have no choice but to bite your tongue.... but if it does ever come out can i recommend that you think carefully before you let on that you knew - your friend may feel hurt that you didn't tell her... good luck !

And if it's wrong and there's nothing going on you're highly likely to lose a friend over it if you intervene. I'd say to stay well clear. Yes that is what i think but its really bugging me.
