Her Husband’s Female Coworker Brought Him Soup When He Was Sick And She’s Telling The Internet She’s Upset About It
A 34-year-old woman has a 36-year-old husband, and they tied the knot together 3 years ago.
Over the last several months, she started noticing that her husband has gotten extremely close to one of his coworkers, a 33-year-old woman.
Her husband basically speaks to his coworker nonstop; through texting and social media platforms as well.
Every single time her husband’s phone is in view of her, she can clearly see messages from his coworker to him.
For his job, he does travel a lot, and he goes with his female coworker on these trips. She really thinks he spends more time with his coworker than he does with her.
Now, her husband having to travel with his coworker doesn’t upset her in the slightest. What upsets her is the fact that the two of them will travel for work, come home, and need to spend time together like grab lunch or go out somewhere.
“If the traveling and incessant communication wasn’t enough they also spend hours off the clock playing video games,” she explained.
Several weeks ago, her husband got back from one of his work trips, and he was not feeling well. Since she only works 10 minutes away from their house, she said that she could stop by and get him some soup.
He declined, and then she saw some movement at her front door through her camera alert system.

“I checked the camera and saw that it was her bringing him – you guessed it – soup,” she said.
“She hung out for an hour and I only knew she was at our home because I saw her on the camera. He did not tell me.”
Although her husband didn’t say a word about it, she did. She told him it was time to create some boundaries with his coworker.
Her husband had no idea why she was so upset about the soup incident, and now she’s left wondering if it’s wrong of her to be upset in the first place.
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“Sounds like an emotional affair, if not an actual one.”
“This is another woman who has a close relationship with your husband that you aren’t comfortable with. You should bring it up.”
“The soup isn’t the issue. It’s all the time he is devoting to her.”
“Your husband is having an affair. It may only be an emotional affair, but I’d be shocked if that’s as far as it’s gone.”
“The fact that he spends even off-work hours socializing with her on social media and gaming means he spends very little of his emotional energy on you, his wife. You have every right to be upset and confronting him with boundaries.”
“I don’t think it’s just about the soup but it almost sounds like he’s replacing her with you in having some needs met.”
“Boundaries are important to respect for our partners in any relationship IMO. From what you’ve said, you’re giving him plenty of space to work freely and travel when needed with her, and while some outside of work hanging out is fine with a coworker, this much would definitely make me worry if my partner did the same.”
“I’d communicate to your husband that this friendship is pushing on your comfort zone. I would personally ask to meet her and observe firsthand how she interacts with my husband.”
“If it is inappropriate talk to him and let him know that you are uncomfortable. If it continues, while he may not have physically done anything with her, there is such thing as emotional affairs….for example, a partner may not feel that their emotional needs are being met by the other partner and may seek validation elsewhere.”
“Emotional affairs are tricky because sometimes you may not realize that you are relying on a person other than your partner for that support; anyway communicate your feelings..”
