A woman noticed her husband getting too close to another woman, making her doubt their relationship.
Although she trusted him at first, she’s now turning to the online community for advice on how to handle the situation and move forward.
«It seems like my husband might have a crush on another woman.
He does maintenance work and has been spending a lot of time helping a single mom lately, which I’m okay with because he’s always been kind and helpful.
They’ve been texting each other late at night, but it’s mostly about friendly stuff.
Things started bothering me when I saw a text from her saying she was scared her ex might come around or something, and my husband wanted to go over to her house
to watch over her.
We had a big fight about it.
Then, the other day, he picked her and her kids up from work and school without telling me.
Lately, he’s been „forgetting“ tools at her house, and I can’t shake the feeling that something might be going on between them.»
«I’m feeling so frustrated right now.
Whenever I bring up my concerns about my husband helping this single mom, he gets really angry.
But it’s getting worse.
The other day, he even asked me to babysit her kids while she went to work, and I said no way.
I just don’t want anything to do with her, and I’m tired of hearing about her.
My husband blew up at me for refusing and said that I was trying to stop him from being a good person.
I’m stuck and don’t know what to do.
Should I talk to this woman and ask her to stop messaging him so late?
I’m starting to feel uncomfortable with the idea of them just being friends.
But it’s complicated because we have kids together, so leaving him isn’t an easy option.
I feel lost and can’t think clearly with all these emotions swirling around. Any advice would be appreciated.»
Many readers chimed in after seeing her post, sharing their perspectives and giving suggestions.
You could trust your husband, but I would never trust a single woman with kids on a manhunt for a stepfather.
I would put myself in a situation where we’re all three in the same room, and watch their interactions.
If you find he is cheating..Dump him, take half of everything he has and move on..
