Dear Amy: I was flabbergasted and hurt to the core. To me, this is an emotional affair. Because of my reaction, he has labeled me as lacking self-esteem and accuses me of not trusting him.
Dear Amy: My husband of 45 years recently came to me with a proposal. He wants to deepen a friendship with a single woman 20 years younger.Their conversations are lively and interesting, and he finds that he wants to be around her more often.
Because now – the way your husband is reframing this – your insecurity and lack of trust is driving him to this other relationship.But the way to engage in a friendship with someone designed to threaten your partner is to bring the new friend around and offer to share said friend with you, at least to the extent where it is obvious that this friendship will not threaten your marriage.
Fast-forward to the past several years where at extended family gatherings my brother and sister feel the need to dominate every conversation with inane comments.Interactions that start out as conversations end up in arguments.
