Her Fiancé Is Definitely Attracted To One Of Her Friends, But When She Tried To Address This With Him, He Denied It
This 31-year-old woman is currently engaged to her fiancé, who is 30, and unfortunately, it’s looking like he has eyes for another woman; her friend Ashley.
She’s only known Ashley for half of a year now, and she has witnessed Ashley and her fiancé flirting with one another on multiple occasions.
Ashley and her fiancé have a ton of things in common, and honestly, they have more in common than she does with her fiancé.
Ashley and her fiancé are super into video games; they love computers, they like playing guitar, and they have very similar personality traits.
“Ashley (who is single) has described my fiancé as having “golden retriever energy” and then later said that she is looking for a partner with the same kind of energy and traits that he has,” she explained.
“My fiancé has subtly mentioned that he thinks it would be cool to buy a house (a future goal of ours) and have “friends” (meaning Ashley) come live with us. He’s mentioned that he really likes Ashley’s personality, and I agree – she’s very talkative, bubbly, and fun to be around.”
“We went over to Ashley’s a little while ago so fiancé could help her with some DIY home improvement stuff. I noticed that my fiancé dressed slightly differently (like wore nicer clothes than usual) when we were getting ready to go over.”
As soon as they arrived at Ashley’s place, she instantly could tell that Ashley was being a lot more vivacious and animated towards her fiancé.
She then watched as Ashley and her fiancé chit-chatted about having the same passion for certain games, and they also discussed wanting to build their own computers.

At one point, Ashley and her fiancé were cracking jokes and finishing one another’s sentences.
Then, her fiancé walked around Ashley’s place and began stating how certain things were a problem for Ashley’s safety like he was all of a sudden super invested in keeping her feeling protected.
Ashley chuckled as he did this, but things only got worse as Ashley began bringing up how she was speaking with a guy she met online who has canceled plans on her several times.
Ashley said that if this guy she had met had been so into helping her like her fiancé was, she would have slept with him already.
Then, a couple of weeks back, she and her fiancé met up with Ashley and a couple of other friends and headed to an escape room.
“At the end, Ashley accidentally (?) brushed her hand against the front of my fiancé’s pants, then looked at him and laughed,” she said.
“Fiancé just shook his head and laughed, and we moved on. They didn’t know that I saw, but of course, I did.”
“All in all, I’ve just noticed lots of subtle flirting going on between them. I didn’t let it show that I was bothered while we were at Ashley’s a little while ago because I didn’t want to make things awkward, but on the way home, I was kind of quiet and distant, processing my thoughts and feelings.”
Her fiancé definitely knew she was acting off, and he went out of his way to be super kind to her on the car ride home.
Eventually, he questioned her if something was an issue, but she brushed it off. She wasn’t up to opening that can of worms then and there because she knew it would be hard to reign in her emotions.
Later on, she did confront her fiancé about his attraction to Ashley, but he denied it all the way and claimed to be in love with only her.
Since then, she’s really been considering her relationship. Her fiancé only asked her to marry him a bit after dating for one year, and she believes they were in a “honeymoon phase” when he popped the question.
Right now, she has been in a relationship with her fiancé for 2.5 years, and she has spent the majority of that time living with him.
“It also got me thinking that maybe by being with me, my fiancé is being held back from being with someone who he could be happier and more compatible with – not saying Ashley specifically, but even someone like her,” she continued.
“My fiancé’s ex was similar to Ashley in terms of being a huge gamer, very chatty/sociable and adventurous with lots of friends, etc. For reference – I’m definitely more quiet and introverted, don’t have a lot of friends or family, and I’m not big into gaming and anime.”
“Im still working on discovering more hobbies/interests that im passionate about, but there are a few things I enjoy, like reading, knitting/crocheting, learning about space and the universe, etc.”
Do you think she should be concerned about Ashley and her fiancé?
