Ok, so yesterday was hubby's work Christmas party. I knew most of the people at his office, but since we lived in NJ for almost a year, there were a few new people there.
I arrived before hubby since he was working late (as usual) and talked to a few folks I knew. I went into the ladies room to freshen up (it was snowing and windy last night) and my hair was all over the place.
In the ladies there was a woman I never met before. In her twenties, pretty and tall. We said hi and she complimented my hair. I said it was a mess, it was. She offered to help me with it. She took my brush and started to brush my hair. She also starting rubbing my back and when I reacted and backed away from her, she ran her hands up and down my arms. Now I'm confused. I know some people are touchy feely, but I'm not. And I know if this was a strange man feeling me like this what I should do. I don't know if she was coming on to me or not, but I felt uncomfortable.
So I left the ladies and finally found my hubby. It seems that this new woman was a law student interning at the firm and my hubby is one of her bosses. She seemed surprised that I was married to hubby when I was introduced to her.
Now my question is, do I tell hubby? Would this get her in trouble? Or should I just forget it? Maybe she was just being nice after all. Am I over reacting?

I can't tell. But we're all responsible for our own actions, and if she acts in a certain way, she has to deal with the consequences.

1. I'm married now,
2. It was at hubby's firm's party.
Anyway, I won't tell hubby cause I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding. Thanks for listening..Lulu
