Maggie Macaulay2 months agoI’m a 34-year-old woman, married to my husband, who is 37, for 3 years, and we’ve been together for 6. We have 3 kids, and our relationship is strong. We’ve supported each other through some difficult times, like the deaths of family members and illnesses, and we are very loving. Here’s the issue: it’s a problem on my end. My husband is very attractive and outgoing, and he works with a woman who is also very attractive and single (I know this from social media). They’re both into tattoos, fit, and have similar interests. I’m stuck in this anxious loop where I keep worrying that he’s super attracted to her and may flirt with her. From past experiences, I know that sometimes he doesn't realize when he’s being overly friendly with other women, which can give the wrong impression. This has happened before, and we discussed it, and he understood. We’ve also talked about my boundaries with his female coworkers, and he’s said that he can accept and respect them. But for some reason, this anxiety still eats at me every day. I know it’s an issue on my end, but I can’t seem to let it go. He has no idea that I’m feeling this way, and if I brought it up, it would probably upset him since he hasn’t done anything wrong. I’m just so tired of worrying about it every single day. It’s starting to make me depressed. He tells me he loves me and that I’m beautiful every day, so why do I feel like this? TLDR: I’m an insecure wife who worries about my husband being around an attractive coworker, and I can’t stop thinking about it.11.1K
