Married flirting and now 'touchy' friends

My wife and I have been married for 23 years. It is both of our first and only marriage. We are both very happy though I feel insecure at times. She is a VERY giving, helpful, caring, friendly outgoing woman. She is not promiscuous but is naive and I often have to let her know when someone is (obvious to me!) hitting on her. It's been kind of funny up until last weekend. We went on a boat trip with a couple, (her best friend of 20 years) and her husband. The four of us get along and are friends. We do flirt but not in a serious way or so I thought. Rick had been acting weird all day. I thought it was odd when my wife sat in the bow of the boat Rick would power up to full throttle. (It made my wife's large boobs bounce wildly) but when she wasn't up there he took it easy. Also while trying to stay dry, she came back by me and sat on the floor. Rick asked her literally six times if she was O.K. (This was in the span of five min.) My wife and I thought that was really odd. (At no other time did he ask her if she was O.K.) Then the kicker. I saw Jen's husband stand behind my wife and put his hands on her hips and say something in her ear while we were stopped and all fishing. I couldn't stop thinking about that for two straight days and finally talked with her. The conversation went great. I opened with "Jen and I are friends right?" "How would you feel if Jen came up behind me, put her hands on my waist and whispered something in my ear?" She said she would NOT like that at all. I told her "That happened." After a dramatic pause I said "That happened between you and Rick." She said she didn't realize that. And he's just a 'touchy feely' guy. I told her "well now YOU are 'touchy feely' and you're 'touchy feely' with RICK!" I told her I don't think anything happened between them, but now I don't trust him. He is a truck driver. Their marriage is shaky. He's a bit of a perv. I guess basically I t old her that he was really hitting on her and a bit hard. We will see if and where she draws the 'friend' line or if I will need to set him straight.

I trust my wife with all my heart and truly believe she is and will continue to be faithful. But where I am having a problem is that I know a few things about body language. You can swear up and down that you are just friends but your body language shows whats in your heart. I can't blame him for hitting on the prettiest, smartest, nicest woman in the state, but SHE feels comfortable enough with him that she doesn't even realize his hands are on her? I can't understand that. I have seen many men put their hands on a woman's waist but only couples that have been intimate. THIS IS MY DILEMMA! I trust her, but I know what I saw. What do I believe?
