I met my husband in school within the late Nineties and now we have been collectively ever since. Now we have three kids collectively and a cheerful marriage. He works at a college that does out of doors journeys. He went on an outside journey together with his feminine coworker a couple of years in the past and began texting her a couple of occasions after they obtained again. I informed him I used to be not OK with that, and it appeared that issues had been resolved. This college yr I observed that he was listening to a love track on a regular basis, and it made me surprise why.
Then I noticed that he was texting her once more. After we had been touring and listening to music within the automobile, I discovered a playlist they’d made collectively. I additionally know that my husband was asking a couple of online game as a result of he needed to begin enjoying it with this lady.
I confronted my husband and he stated that he has made unhealthy selections, however it isn’t what it seems. He apologized, however I’m having a tough time trusting him. He’s nonetheless shut with this lady at work. How ought to I really feel? Am I mistaken to be mad and never belief him? And the way ought to I proceed?
– Incorrect?
Your husband says this relationship is not what it seems to be. May or not it’s a friendship? Have you ever requested him how he defines it for himself?
You did not inform us whether or not their communication has been romantic. To not be too naive, however individuals do make buddies, particularly at work. They speak about music and video video games, and typically they textual content about it. I ponder whether you would be open to your husband growing new friendships with any girls. If not, you is perhaps placing him able the place he feels he has to lie about one thing platonic that enriches his life.
After all, I could possibly be mistaken, and possibly that is all about love songs and large emotions, however that is why it is best to ask about it. Have a chat together with your husband about what that is and, extra importantly, whether or not it has something to do together with your marriage. What are the boundaries in the case of friendships? Would this be extra acceptable if you happen to spent extra time with one another’s buddies? Additionally, do the 2 of you will have time for enjoyable collectively? Possibly you want your personal shared online game, or one thing prefer it.
In case your husband stopped texting this lady to comply with your guidelines, you’d nonetheless have the identical questions on whether or not you are still blissful and in love. Learn the way the 2 of you might be doing. Do not let this lady distract you out of your actual questions.
