My Wife's New "Buddy"

[mslif]

Listen to Dominic, put a stop to this now. It might be innocent conversations now but it will escalate to more. Tell her that you are not comfortable with this. If you are scared to look like a douche then there is a bigger underlying problem which is lack of communication between you and your wife.
Also, read the emails.
Why is she on friendster?

not surprisingly this is awesomely brilliant and correct.

yeah i can see it now. they throw a little house party/bbq and invite a bunch of friends over and they are like "so who's the new guy?" you say, "oh he's just the new guy that my wife met on a website that is designed for people to establish relationships, most of the time intimate. you should meet him, great guy!"

You are completely underestimating the idea that the OP could in time be his friend too.

Listen: half the people on the [censored] planet are guys. Any wife will meet them. Any wife will spend some time with them. Even if it's just co-workers or whatever. If you never want your wife to talk to another man then simply shackle her to the basement wall. There are better ways to deal with this though.

If I didn't know better, I'd swear you were 40 and constantly grumpy.

There's pretty much no way for the OP to "stop this without looking insecure." Since, you know, the OP is horribly insecure about this (which isn't to say he shouldn't be). Since there's no way to hide that insecurity, might as well square up and slap her right in the face with it.

Also, aren't you both about 20 years too old for friendster?

Granted, your wife may not be getting what she needs from you emotionally - if that's the case, she needs to tell you so and you can discuss and solves things as a couple.


I don't know ; sometimes dealing with my wife's emotional needs seems like a two man job.

What's good for the goose....

I would do the exact same thing to her, get on there and find a attractive female and become "friends" with her, keep it clean and all and let her feel what you feel.

I saw you in that coffee shop, breaking the fifth commandment. Congress passes these things for a reason, Lois.

People in their 30s want to be cool. Friendster/myspace/etc is our attempt. It says very clearly on both of our pages that we are married, and they are good ways to communicate with our friends.

Prior to this neither has met anyone new through these things.

You should have her read Dr. Dom's post about men and women being friends. Even she should be able to see how right he is.
