Today, I found out that my husband keeps in contact with the woman he was infatuated with in high school. He texts her more than he texts me. FML

To be fair he probably sees you everyday, where he does see her alot

I would say trust him, but that's just too suspicious. I say get his texts from your phone company, if it's nothing than it's nothing & you can be happy knowing he loves you. If there are some hints then you can think about how you feel with a man who only commits part of his heart to you.

ydi, you're probably boring and a nag

Eh, classic case of the NEI FML— not enough info. Is he talking about inappropriate things? Telling her stuff before he tells you? Unless there's something obviously inappropriate going on, (and no, hiding it or neglecting to tell you isn't necessarily inappropriate, as he could've considered it trivial or you could have a track record of jealous overreaction), give him the benefit of the doubt. Marriage is about trust, after all. Ask her to have dinner with you two and see if you can be friends with her, too.

I agree, NEI... I think my husband probably texts one of his female friends from high school more than he texts me...but she lives in a different state, and he sees me every day. I don't think he was ever infatuated with her, though, and I'm also friends with her, he's just been friends with her for longer. If these are just innocent "how was your day" texts, it's probably nothing. But, it could also be bad if he still has feelings for her...

TIJD your comments are always like a hidden puzzle. So NEI doesn't stand for the National Eye Institute? (which I've always known it as) so it must be- not enough information. Makes sense. Examples "you" have used in the past SO- significant other IMO- in my opinion ITRW- in the real world I know I'm missing a bunch. Those are the only ones I can think of off the top if my head.(:

Oh and back to the topic. It may be harmless, however it's important to make sure no boundries "EVER" get crossed. He needs to take her feelings into consideration. She knows he's texting her (no secret). Now where do they go from here?

:D @ sourgirl. I explained myself this time! I also use FTR - for the record, AFAIK - as far as I know, and my own modifications of common ones like IME - in my experience quite a bit. RedPill takes the cake with YMMV, though. I had to UD - Urban Dictionary that one.

I agree with your back-to-topic post, sour. I'd say if it's just an oversight that she's only finding out about it now, they need to sit down and have a frank talk about why, of all the girls in his past, he's talking to this one, and how she feels about that. If he says it's just a friendly thing, then at the very least, she should have the right to access his emails, texts, etc. to put her own mind at ease.  In these cases, I think the spouse should be the one to set the boundaries and decide what is and isn't crossing the line. Her comfort should be more important to him than the friendship. That's of course provided that they trust each other, each attempt to see the others' side, and consider how each other would like this to be resolved before making any decisions.

Iaians- (I agree in a nut shell). Did you understand my code?(:

women like you annoy me !!!! keep him happy an you'll have nothing to worry about

Aw, don't pop her bubble, pen. It's cute when they try so hard to seem adult.

wow what an ass. but then again it could be nothing. I say u talk to him about it. he should be textin u more than anyone else with the exception of his family if he does text them.

who said it was a friend? ur the dumb type of bitch that would let themselves get cheated on. grow up

...If he lives with you, and he doesn't see this woman every day, why would he text you more than her?
