Discovering my feelings.
The other day, I discovered that my wife has been chatting with a local guy. It started off as friendly conversation about a shared hobby, which I thought was fine, but now I'm questioning how far is too far. We have a strong level of trust, and I’ve never gone through her phone. However, one day our son accidentally opened her Instagram while using her phone, and while helping him get back to YouTube, I stumbled upon various messages, including some interactions with her selfies where this guy had used the 😍 emoji. I tried to scroll past, but one particular message caught my attention—it mentioned that she could talk to him if she needed someone different from her husband. Am I overthinking this? I’m fairly certain nothing has progressed beyond friendship, but I can’t shake off the mixed feelings I have about those messages. I don’t want to come off as an overly sensitive or jealous husband. Feeling guilty, I decided to stop reading further and joined our son for some Paw Patrol, keeping my thoughts to myself.
