Dear Ruthie,
I’m suspicious of the relationship between my wife and her best friend. I have no proof they’re romantically involved, but I feel their friendship borders on inappropriate sometimes. Too many of their “girls’ nights” and sleepovers sparked jealousy and concern in me.
Recently, my wife suggested we have a three way with this woman. I know most men would jump at this chance, but I think my wife has feelings for this woman.
I love my wife and want to please her and make our marriage work, but this request is just too much. Think I’m overreacting? Being paranoid?
Thanks,
Doubting Thomas
Dear Tommy,
Think your wife is getting a little biscuit on the side? Regardless of having proof, even the tiniest doubt about a three way means it’s not a good idea at this time. Don’t let some macho bedroom bullshit get in the way of doing what’s right for you and your marriage.
Use this opportunity to tell your wife how you really feel about her friendship with this lady friend of hers. Express yourself honestly and consider marriage counseling if you feel the two of you are in over your heads.
