Husband jealous of best friend.
ReportPlease briefly explain why you feel this question should be reported.
To give you some background, I am 25 and have been married for 3 years. I love my husband very much and we have a good marriage. My husband also has his best friend whom I have also become very good friends with. He is a great friend and if things had been different, this friend and I may have dated, but I was already with my now husband when I met this friend (Pat). Recently, my husband mentioned that he thought Pat liked me, as in more than friends. While I was flattered by the thought (i’m not used to men paying me attention) I didn’t think much of it as I didn’t really see it myself. However, it seems to bother my husband that Pat may have feelings for me. My husband knows that I would never do anything with Pat, but it seems like my husband doesn’t trust Pat, his best friend. It has gotten to the point where my husband doesn’t want to have the three of us hang out really, and definitely not have just Pat and I hang out. How do I calm my husbands fears and reassure him that even if Pat does have these feelings, that nothing will ever happen? I don’t want to lose this great friendship, but I also don’t want my husband to be upset about us hanging out. Any advice would be great!
