I think erika nailed it with this:
But maybe she was just bitching and hubs took "Handyman" a bit too literally?
It's weird that he called you. What did she say when you suddenly called and asked her to go tonight?
Inara: Who's winning? Simon: I can't tell. They don't seem to be playing by any civilized rules that I know.
'Bushwhacked'
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
What did she say when you suddenly called and asked her to go tonight?
Well, I texted her and said "Take a nap and be at the Q16 at 11:00 tonight or Taylor Laurent gets it. Your ticket has already been purchased." She texted back "LOL".
Then Hubs emailed me saying, "Thanks. I really appreciate it. She called and asked me if I talked to you I said no."
He for sure takes the "Handyman" thing too far, but I can't get too rude because it does come out of a place of love. However, he will be coming over on Saturday to lift heavy furniture and put it where I tell him.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But he lied to her!
I know I'm way too simplistic about these things, but it's such a patronising move.

you should "accidentally" forward that to her. And obviously, the wife knew something was up if she asked the husband if he had talked to you.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
And obviously, the wife knew something was up if she asked the husband if he had talked to you.
Yep.
it's such a patronising move.
And yep.

Always Anti-fascist!
I could see that, maybe he's Fixer Guy, right? And maybe she got a little spun out, like, "Does Aimee hold it against me for that day my deodorant stopped working? Maybe it's my breath..." And instead of listening, or telling her how fun she is, he thinks he's Making It Okay. But I'm embarrassed for both of them. I hope you have fun anyway, though.

I know, and while I have an issue with that, I know that sometimes I lie to Joe about some things, too and what he lies to his wife about is not my business nor my marriage, so I try to look at his intentions instead of the whole picture when it comes to stuff like this.

So if she asks you, Aims, if her DH spoke to you will you lie?

Some of the worst things that have happened to me have been done by people with good intentions.
