Dear Queenie,
My wife has a lot of friends of both sexes and I know some of them but not all of them. I have never objected to her going out and doing things with her various friends even though I am not much for that kind of socializing, because our marriage is good and I trust her completely.
The problem is this: There’s a new woman I met at work that has the same schedule as me and sometimes we go out for lunch together or I give her a lift home after work. When my wife found out about it she got mad and said if I love her I shouldn’t be doing this.
Queenie, do you agree with her or is she being totally unreasonable?—Tit for Tat
Dear Tat,
Apparently your wife does not trust you as much as you trust her – or is there something in your attitude toward this new colleague that makes your wife uncomfortable? If the latter is the case your wife is not being totally unreasonable.
I suggest you confine your socialising with your colleague to the workplace and outside of work only with other colleagues (or even your wife) present. And you might want to go out and do things with your wife (and her friends) more often.
