Wife sours on cafe worker who’s sweet on her husband

DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Vic,” and I used to work at the same company. While I worked there I noticed that one of the women who worked in the building cafe seemed to have a crush on him.

I left work to be a stay-at-home mom. I trust my husband and know he would never do anything with this woman. However, I’m uncomfortable because he talks about her often, and she gives him free food just about every day and jokes around with him. If I have lunch with Vic there, she won’t look at me. She and I used to talk often.

I haven’t said anything to him about how I feel. Should I worry about this? Should I ask him to be careful around her? — ALLERGIC TO WHAT SHE’S SERVING

Yes, an investment in Iowa Speedway is an investment in our community's future
Only state money should be used, because the whole state benefits from Iowa Speedway
Only local money should be used, since Newton and Jasper County have the most to gain
