So DH has a jealousy issue

A client came into work and wanted me to do alot of interor design for him (right down to the dishes). So I did the house call and took measurements, looked at what he had already bought from me, made some more recommendations etc. I was there for about an hour and a half. I pull into the driveway from it just as DH comes home from work. He asked me where I was and I told him. He got mad and huffy and admits it's just jealousy. My DH has met this man while I was working with him last week. He's young, attractive, and quite a flirt.

Now I am supposed to go shopping with this client for accent pieces but I am hesitant to schedule shopping trips with him since DH is inevitably going to get bent out of shape over it when I tell him.

My husband and I have no reason not to trust each other, we have never been unfaithful, ever. I would trust him if the situation was reversed.

Any advice on how to handle this?

Re: So DH has a jealousy issue

  • Honestly? In this situation, I'd tell my DH to suck it up. He's admitted that his feelings aren't rational, and you have a job to do.
  • So you're supposed to lose your job/income because your DH needs to screen your clients?

    Tell him to grow a pair.

  • speaking from experience this tells me that if your DH were put in a situation like that with a young, attractive, flirty woman he would ACT on it.  
  • sounds like you need to have a stern conversation with your DH.  This is your job.  What other option do you have, only take on ugly clients??? Give me a break. Tell him to grow up.
