I was having breakfast in the dining hall when he walked in with his wife who had just flown in to join him before they headed back and I could see that she was upset perhaps wondering why we were in the same hotel. I had breakfast with them but was akward because of what she was thinking. She pretty much froze both of us out and he left early because she was upset. Why do people jump to inaccurate assumptions. I figured it is best to say nothing to her and let him handle it but I like her and want to reassure her. Any suggestions on how to handle this situation would be appreciated. She seems like a nice lady. Reply to this Question

 Well....you honestly don't know if he's cheated fifty times in the last 10 years....and she just assumed you were the new flavor of the week.
exactly how do you know what she assumed? Perhaps she had a migraine or she'd just discovered that he'd bought a new sports car that had been delivered in his absence.
Your jumping to conclusions too? Unless of course you were a little attracted to him and feel guilty now....
If you DID nothing wrong...then you have nothing to explain, deny, or reassure her about.
If she is confused....when the time is right, She will ask YOU. If she does not....then realise it probably has nothing to do with you and it is unfortunate for her, but you cant fix them so it's not really your problem.
And how do you know he left early Just because of how she was acting.....so he left you there alone with her after she'd Flown to see him.....Maybe that was what she was mad about... because some unexpected meeting popped up and ruined HER plans.

You don't know their history. Best to say nothing to her.
