Dear Queenie,
My wife is friends with a man where she works and they often have lunch together or go out for a couple of drinks after work. She doesn’t try to hide this from me and she says they’re just friends and there is nothing more to it and I believe her, but it bothers me that she talks to him about me and our marriage and I’m sure she tells him things that should be just between her and me.
Queenie, I don’t think this is right. What do you say?—Jealous husband
Dear Husband,
I think this would not bother you so much if your wife’s friend were a woman, but I also think she should not be talking to anyone, man or woman, about matters that should be kept between husband and wife.
If there is anything about your marriage that bothers her so much that she just has to talk to someone about it – other than you, of course – she should go to a professional marriage counsellor for help.
