Default Re: My Wife\'s New \"Buddy\"

I disagree somewhat. Yes what she is doing is inapproriate and unfair to her husband. However, reacting indignantly and forcefully will cause far more problems than it solves. What's important here is honesty and compromise. You're not a jerk for telling your wife that it makes you uncomfortable to have private relationships with men you don't know. That's a normal reaction. I'm quite sure that she doesn't think she's doing anything wrong, and probably wouldn't be aware that there's a problem. You have to let her know. If you're most important to her, it won't be an issue. Dealing with this calmly, honestly, and fairly will open the door for you to discuss the other problems that appear to be going on in your relationship.
