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.

It sounds like you're in a tough spot, feeling conflicted over your wife's chats. Trust is crucial, and it's okay to feel uneasy. Maybe consider talking to her about how you feel in a calm way. Open conversations can strengthen your bond. Just remember, it’s normal to feel this way; you’re not alone!

It's understandable to feel uneasy after discovering those messages. Trust is crucial in a relationship, and while her interactions may seem harmless at first, the line between friendship and emotional intimacy can blur. Consider discussing your feelings openly with her to address your concerns and reinforce your bond. Communication is key.
