AITA for confronting a woman for staring at my husband on the train?

Did you ever stop and think that woman could have been mentally ill or using drugs? You have NO IDEA why she is staring. Maybe she is checking him out, maybe she is hallucinating that your husband is an earth invading alien and confronting her could have set her off.

Honestly this makes a lot of sense to me. I know people commenting here think I’m a nut but I know that something was off with this lady. You’re right that I did risk getting hurt by approaching a stranger, which wasn’t smart at all. (People keep saying I sent my husband away because I didn’t want him to see - in reality, i was concerned about my daughter for the exact reason you pointed out).

If I could do it over, I would behave differently. I’m grateful the situation didn’t go further than it did.
