 (Nick Galifianakis for The Post) | Adapted from an online discussion. Dear Carolyn: My husband has become good friends with a co-worker, "Evelyn." She is about 10 years younger and is in a relationship, albeit somewhat unhappily. My husband has become her dumping ground for her relationship frustrations and is trying to help her game out how to score a marriage proposal. I have commented on how flawed that whole thing is, but I guess it's not really my business. I happened to see a few messages between them recently. (Nothing nefarious; my husband accidentally sent them to me.) I noticed that he has shared a few details about me with her, including a medication I'm taking. That IS my business. Not only do I feel as if a marriage warrants more privacy, but I also haven't consented to having my personal life be part of their daily conversation fodder. I told my husband I don't want him talking about our relationship with her, and he says that, as friends, they should be able to share what's going on in their lives. Apropos of nothing, he also commented that, because he is trying to help her get engaged, I should not be worried that he's on the verge of cheating on me. I still think this is an emotional affair. Am I right, or am I being controlling? — Married |
