Am I being a bit melodramatic here??
Today my husband helped the Mum of one of my daughter's school friend.
In a nutshell this friend has had a car mechanic dicking her around about fixing her car etc
Anyway, her husband knows nothing about cars so she asked my husband to go to the mechanics with her and get the truth from them about what they are doing about the car. She asked my hubby to pretend he was her husband so that the garage would be less likely to try and fob her off.
I'm absolutely fuming that he did this. I don't for one minute suspect he's cheating on me, he's not that sort of bloke but I think she was out of order asking him to pretend to be her husband and I'm mad that he even agreed to do it.
Am I being overly sensitive and dramatic here?

The garage is messing her around, your hubby can help, she feels it necessary to have him pretend to be her husband - yeah that probably isn't necessary but I can see her thinking. Unless she has a reputation or your hubby can't be trusted....where is the harm?
All I will add is that why it may have been a slight comfort to have a 'bloke' there it's not that useful if he knows sod all about cars.
She should have asked around for a male friend / friend of friend etc. (if she thinks having a man there will improve the situation) who knows a bit so that they could be confident in talking to the mechanic.
Sometimes things just escalate when they're whizzing round your head. This is a good place to vent.
^^^^^^ This:)
In fact, your first sentence describes the action quite nicely... "Today my husband helped the Mum......."
Yes, very much so. By doing what he did, he probably helped her out a great deal.
At least it shows your deep love for hubby so its all good I suppose
He sounds a really nice bloke helping her out like that! It also sounds like a pretty good plan for him to pretend he was her husband so she could get some proper answers.
has he done anything in the past to make you suspect that he is up to something ?
Unless you think the woman is after your husband or hes after her.
Her own husband sounds like a funny fish. If they both thought she was being messed about by the mechanics then he's a bit of a dead loss not to have gone with her, regardless of what he knows or doesn't about cars. A token bloke is what was needed, as has been said.
A few hours now of calming down and reading all your advice, I can see that I'm being silly.
But can I still give him a guilt trip and milk it a bit so that I get some perfume or something from hubby as a 'I'm sorry for upsetting you' !!
thanks again

I think you are being a lot melodramatic.
