INSECURE!Husband w/an attractive co-worker this week-Thoughts?

So, lately I have been feeling a little insecure...(dont we all go thru that sometimes?) My husband has a rep from his corp office in town this week. She is 26 and VERY attractive. (My husband is mid 30's) she is driving around with him all week going on sales calls and having lunch etc together. I asked him if he thought she was attractive and he said YES. I dont hear from him during the day bc hes with her...someone from his office thought she was ME the other day bc apparently we look alike?

This is making me really insecure...how would you feel? Am I normal for feeling this way?

this is extremely normal and if it was me i'd be doing my nut (probably not what you want to hear but that just being honest from my perspective). i personally have an issue with my husband and stag weekends one of which is coming up shortly :(
don't get me wrong he is so loving and would do anything for me always has and has never given me a reason not to trust him, just the way our relationship developed wasn't conventional to say the least... but there is not much you can do it's his job after all and these days it fab he has one. hopefully she'll be out of your area soon and never return and all will resume as normal

Do not let it eat at you though. Because that can cause problems. I agree with the ladies above. Let him know how you feel and then drop it. The more you dwell on it the more it eats and you and you begin to act upon those thoughts and then he will feel you do not trust him.

I agree, it's normal and I also agree to talk to your husband.  Maybe he can check in with you a few times during the day to make you feel more comfortable.  Sometimes looks isn't everything, maybe the girl has zero personality.  Hang in there.

Hi.  We're all human and jealousy is a natural emotion.  I wish your husband would write me and ask for advice because I would tell him to say "she is attractive but annoying" or "she's smart but has no sense of humor" and then follow with a nice compliment about you.  

I agree that it is okay to be  honest about this with your husband.  He'll feel flattered and will most likely reassure you.  And if they continue to work together, suggest getting together all of you and be super friendly.  

Okay, good luck.  Hey, it is almost Friday!

Yeppers, Totally Normal! Now how do you cope without letting that green eyed monster take over your emotions and actions. You decide which is more powerful, the insecurity or the trust you have in your husband and your marriage. Keep the lines of communication open with him, admit you are feeling a little intimidated and handle those emotions together. And have lots of sex!
She will be gone soon and you can regain your normal life once again.

I used to make myself feel better by going to the jewelry store! LOL. For some reason, buying a nice expensive piece of jewelry (on him) always made ME feel better! Ah, take it for what it's worth! :-) And, then, if you do it, flaunt it. Perhaps he'll think twice about contacting you next time! hehehe

I think you are very normal. Anytime our spouse spends time with a young attractive women, it would make us feel jealous. Try not to let it get to you though. I'm sure it's nothing. Besides, wont she go back to where she came from after this week? You have to trust your husband until he gives you a good reason to not trust him.
Take care.
