I had a bit of a jealousy issue. My wife was talking to a man who approached her in a night club while she was on vacation. It was a resort town and people were from all over. The reason I mention that is because it I think in those situations, people tend to mingle more and talk to strangers perhaps more than they might otherwise do.

She let him know she was married but he was welcome to talk and socialize etc. My wife and the couple she was with along with the guy and his group of male/female friends ended up meeting each other and mingled, danced and partied the rest of the night.

The next day my wife and her group visited by the place where the other group was staying. They didn't meet up with eachother but my wifes friends wanted to see the place because they frquented this particular resort town. They thought about staying there the next time they were in town.

This made me angry/jealous etc. I told her, that she new this guy was at least interested in her and she was wrong to give him her company in the bar. She maintains that she told him she was married and knows where to draw the lines. Also, that she was 40 years old and doesn't need to be told how to act around other people.

It just made me angry that maybe the attention from this guy made her feel good. I felt slighted by it all. We've been married over 20 years and maybe things were not so interesting to her anymore. She told the guy was really nice and interesting. That was like a bullet through my head. I wasn't feeling like she felt that way about me anymore.

We fought about this. Did I overreact? I would not have done anything differently if I were her but it just REALLY bugs me that while I was at home, some guy, she found nice, was talking to her and playing his game.........

my friend TRUST is very important, regardless of weather she found this guy nice or not if you trust her then there should'nt be an issue, but by the same token if she respected you then she would'nt let him chat her up!!!!!

good luck in your marriage! PEACE

She could have been a little more sympathetic to your feeling insecure. Im sure it was difficult being away from her when you have been together 20 years. But you should also relize that she is the one you need to trust,not anyone else. If you had to trust every nice guy she came in contact with...
