Dear MIM: Did I Overreact By Treating My Hubby’s Friend Who Made a Pass at Me & His Wife This Way?

My hubby’s friend made a pass at me at a car park. He came to me and started talking trash. He said, “You are really hot and sexy. I’ve always loved seeing your ass in shorts. How about we going to a hotel to have quick fun?”

I was so irritated that I gave him a very hot slap which attracted the attention of passers-by. He was embarrassed and called the police that I abused him when he tried talking to me. Thank God there was an ‘oyibo’ woman listening to the whole conversation in her car who testified against him on the scene. She told the police exactly what he said and they started laughing. Yet, he still stood his ground that I slapped him for asking me to park well. Somehow the officers disregarded his claims and let me off.

Before I left, I warned him never to come close to my family, most especially my hubby, and he told me that I can’t destroy the friendship between them. I then told him to wait and see.

When I got home, I told my hubby what transpired and angrily asked him to choose between his friend and I. He picked up his phone, called his friend and told him how disappointed he was and that he does not want his friendship anymore.

I was shocked when his wife later called to abuse me, saying I am a devil who has managed to seduce her hubby and destroy the friendship between them. I told her to go to hell, warning her that if she tries calling to insult me again, I will beat her up so badly her mummy will not recognize her.
She got furious and told me that I’m crazy. I told her that she’s the one who is crazy and she should go take her bath and clean her vagina because she stinks, otherwise, her hubby wouldn’t have made a move on me. She started crying and hang up. Did I overreact?
