I don’t like to ever seem like the insecure gal- so I always choose to have a talk with MY HUSBAND how it makes me feel, or that as women WE KNOW the BS…. And ask him to be the sarcastic one… tell next time she does it to ask if she’s met his wife.. “have you met my wife let me go get her so y’all can talk” or tell him act Iike he ain’t see or hear her. It’s up to him to respect you and honor your feelings and boundaries not the ‘stranger’, because some females have no respect for themselves.

Ask him if he has ever noticed that she usually greets him but not you and see how he responds. If the next time she does it and he doesn’t correct her or if he speaks then you have your answer. Don’t do anything because he will say you’re over reacting. But if he does correct her then you don’t have to say anything then either because he has established a boundary and denied her access.
