I'm offended and angry, how do I communicate it to my husband

@bigdaddy

Again, you either dont know what the phrase “keep your enemies closer” means or have never seen it used appropriately. Failed english 101 like other FOBS?

Ohmigosh…are you seriously asking for me to explain this expression to you and how it applies here?

@redvelvet

“Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.” Quotations are often worded in a broad enough way to apply to a variety of situations. They’re usually open to interpretation.

The “friend” in this situation could even be the husband. After all…isn’t a spouse like a friend? I would say so. So you keep your husband close to you. And you keep his friends close to you. His friends are not necessarily the wife’s enemies…BUT…she can get to learn more about HIM from his friends. After all…some friends may have been in your life before your spouse ever showed up.

And the “enemies” or “competitors” in this scenario…would be the flirtatious coworkers. You keep them “closer”…so that you’re more aware of what is going on. So that THEY can see, as Psquared suggested, that the wife is more than just a framed picture on his desk. So…that they can see…UP CLOSE…that she DOES INDEED exist in flesh and blood. And by going to future parties…you keep the enemies within eye and ear shot to see how their actions can affect you.

Thank you RV…this is exactly what I meant.

Aqal mand ke liye ishara kafi hota hai…so true. Bad aqalon ke liye…we have to write down what we meant and how we meant it.

Notice how no one else needed this explanation.
